"Portrayed as a destination in its own right, this hotel celebrates Californian craftsman‑style architecture and features a soaring lobby that evokes a mountain lodge. Its highly themed design and prime location, with an easy walk to both Disneyland parks, make it a standout among the three on‑site Disneyland hotels." - Carly Caramanna
"Renowned for attentive service and close access to both theme parks, this hotel impressed me with its attention to detail, ample dining options, on-site spa, and beautiful rooms—making it a strong choice for special occasions. A particular perk is the sixth-floor viewing deck where guests with a hotel key can watch Disney California Adventure’s nighttime spectaculars." - Megan duBois
"This on-site hotel is a favored pick for its mountain lodge–style design, premium accommodations, and the convenience of a dedicated, easy entrance directly into one of the parks, making park access especially seamless for staying guests." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
