It was a short shuttle bus ride away (we could have walked but opted not to because of the rain).   The Hotel had a much busier feel than the Disneyland Hotel, it is about double the size, 800 rooms vs 420.   The exterior design of the building was odd to us.  One in our group thought it had a prison vibe to it being a very straight building with no balconies.  Another said office building came to mind.   When you get around to the entrance it feels very much like the Value Resorts at Walt Disney World to me.   We did not get to see a room but walked around the common spaces taking a look at the two courtyards that featured oversized characters and then the dining area.    It has some nice elements but overall I was happy we choose the Disneyland Hotel.
