This is a newer build hotel that is a more affordable option. It also includes a complimentary shuttle to Disneyland which many like. This is especially important since the local shuttle service is no longer in operation.
This hotel offers a free breakfast buffet, which is always a great perk for visiting Disneyland. The breakfast even includes made to order eggs.
