My husband and I have extended our stay here a bit longer than we had planned. The staff here work hard, I know because again weve been here about a year now. Seen staff come and go but the real ones have been here the longest. Shoutout to Assistant Alvin and General Manager Renee And all the housekeeping you guys are amazing and always friendly. This place is decent, quiet and in an excellent park of Orange County. Ask for Alvin or Renee !

My 2-month-old granddaughter and daughter-in-law were locked out of the hotel for 12 hours because the front desk person decided to sleep or leave. They lock the front doors and the key for the front door was not allowing people access to the hotel. We called and had customer service call the front desk and there was no answer. This is absolutely unacceptable and I need a refund.
