What reviewers say

Visitors consistently praise the hotel's exceptional location with direct access to California Adventure and its beautiful craftsman-style decor. However, many find the price to be very high, especially without DVC points, and some guests have experienced issues with slow front desk service and inconsistent water availability in rooms.

I've had the privilege of staying here a few times since it opened, and have always had an amazing time. The cast members here are simply the best of the best, and always made my family and I feel welcome. The lobby is immaculate, and the details all around are truly stunning. We had a view overlooking Grizzly Peak and it was always fun watching the park come alive as the sun rose in the morning. The DVC area is a bit of a walk, but very nice as well. I've never stayed in the DVC section myself, but had a family member who did and showed us around. If you can, I'd highly recommend splurging and staying here. There's nothing like going on Grizzly River Rapids multiple times in a row, getting drenched, and being a short walk to your hotel room to shower and change and pop back into the park via your own private entrance. Especially in the morning. I love walking in and getting a head start on nearby rides that are a bit of a walk from the main entrance. One of my favorite details of the resort is the stained glass doors at the entrance. If you ever have a chance to stop and admire them, do. They're gorgeous, and similar imagery is sprinkled throughout the resort. This hotel is truly a work of art.

This hotel is fantastic, and you wouldn't even know from the outside how much it has to offer. Everything was perfect, but the pool area was especially luxurious. Everyone there has customer service down pat.
