About.com's Disneyland Hotel Review:
Disneyland Hotel is very close to the theme parks, at the end of Downtown Disney. It has a nice swimming pool, and on selected days, guests can get into the park an hour before the general public.

The decor is cute, with many Disney touches, such a Mickey Mouse hand holding the bathroom light fixture and Disney scenes on the bedspread.

The Disneyland Hotel has been around almost as long as the theme park. It's been well kept, cleaned and renovated, but it still feels a little out of date, especially in the somewhat narrow, dark halls. Noise leaks into rooms through the walls and especially from the hall, so much that you may know what every member of another group is planning to have for breakfast.

The beds are comfortable, but not up the standards of high-end chains and the shower is dark and a little cramped. All in all, the Disneyland Hotel offers Best Western Quality at over twice the price.

If you're traveling on business, my room had no desk, just a round table which was not very satisfactory for spreading out my work. WiFi Internet access is available only in a few public areas, but there is wired access in each room.

Nevertheless, this hotel is fully booked most of the time, and you may decide that its benefits outweigh its high price. Is Disneyland Hotel Worth It? Get more information, express your opinion and see what others think.
