This was the second stay for the 3 of us (wife and 4 year old son) and we once again enjoyed our stay. This time we were joined by 6 other family members who also stayed at the Fairfield.
Check-in was early and lucky that our room was ready - the other two had to wait till normal 3-4pm check-in time.
We got a fireworks view (step outside the door and look out the railing) and the hotel is convienently located to the entrance to Disneyland.
Room was clean and was kept exceptionally clean during our stay. This time we did make use of the Pizza Hut/pantry on the third floor - had pizza, wings, muffins, coffee, etc.
While we didn't use the outdoor pool, it seemed not to be overcrowded every time we walked by including later in the evening.
Overall, good stay and would definately recommend for families.

What we have here is an older motel but with some updating - so outside halls, doors, rooms and baths look like an older motel. Updating re the new all white cotton bedding is nice and curved shower rail etc.
Food court is ridiculously small for hotel this size. We got no maid service at all during our two night stay.
Our bill with tax was I think over $350 which might seem a lot for an older motel...
However the location is GREAT. It was clean, pool is bland rectangular in the side of the parking lot, but nicely landscaped. Free parking. Ten minute walk max to Disney ticket office. easy to go back for a break during the door.
So what you pay for is location - totally worth it we thought - and it seems reliably clean and safe which isn't clear at some of the other hotels in this row of hotels.

1. The front desk clerks had cold & sterile attitudes.
2. The concierge/travel clerk was actually very helpful and nice
when my husband's wallet was lost during our stay.
3. The walls are "paper thin": The people next door had a "bratty
kid" who kept screaming and crying at her parents when
she didn't get what she wanted (a six year old, not a baby)
4. The beds were very comfortable, but had to grab the spare
blanket because it was cold in the room (air conditioner was
off).
5. Coffee maker was a joke. It looked like a mini & cheap
version of a "Senseo One Shot" machine.

Overall, it just didn't meet mine & my husband's expections despite of the reviews we had read prior to booking the hotel. If we do visit Disneyland again, we won't be staying there again.

I am totally amazed to see such negative comments about this property. My husband and I have stayed at the Fairfield four times in the last ten years and adore this hotel. The walk to Disney main gate is very short, less than five minutes. There are many dining places in the area. I am not sure what people are expecting when they book here, sure its not five star but for price, comfort, cleanliness and position I think it is unbeatable. I sure will be staying here on our next trip. Trust me, give this place a try, you definately wont be disappointed
