This is an old hotel, but most hotels near and around Disneyland are older. It was fairly clean, but the cleaning staff is seriously lacking.
Upon arrival we found dirty linens on the floor of our closet. When they were not removed the next day, I notified the front desk. Our room was not vacuumed at all during our 5 day stay, although I did request vacuuming after noticing it had not been done for 2 days. On the 2nd day they didn't even bother to clean the tub. The toilet was in need of bowl cleaner, as it was developing some mold. We had 3 rooms for our family group and one of the rooms smelled of cigarette smoke upon our return from Disneyland one evening.
The breakfast at the adjoining restaurant was minimal as to selection. We only ate there one morning. I selected a doughnut which was ice cold, but there was no microwave available. The wait staff did comply with my request to heat it up.
The only elevator in the place also was out of service for an entire day. Fortunately, it broke down after we had brought our luggage in. Again, this is a risk in an older hotel.
We stayed at this hotel despite it being a distance from Disneyland, and without shuttle service, because we hoped there would be benefits that would offset those two negatives. There were no benefits.

If you're doing Disney, stay here -- you can't beat it. We paid $80/weekdays and around $109/weekend night and we were far happier than we'd have been in a hotel "next to Disneyland." It was clean, stylish, close to the parks, and the staff was tremendously friendly all around. This place is just a tiny bit (2 exits?) up I-5 from DL/CA, and you can get in and out of the parks far more quickly than people staying on the strip without having to walk 1-2 miles around DL's fence in the hot sun. The kitchenette was very helpful to have, the pool and lobby computer were readily available, and with Ralph's and Target nearby, you need little else. Comments about the noise and cleanliness were noted prior to the trip, but I saw nothing that was a real problem with either. Thank you, Pepper Tree, for making a long trip great!

Just stayed at the Pepper Tree about a week ago, and I really enjoyed our stay here. I have tried about 10 different hotels in the Disneyland area, and this is probably my favorite overall.

The room was attractive and very well set up. While we didn't really use the full features of the kitchen, it was very well set up. This is also the most comfortable place I've stayed in the area: the BEST bed, great pillows...just a really good night's sleep. I've paid much more for rooms that had beds so hard that I could not sleep there, so this is the best quality for the money, in my opinion.

I really liked the large balcony we had (complete with table and chairs) with a nice view over the pool. Plus, being able to open up to fresh air instead of relying on the AC is a bonus. I do have to say that facing out to Lincoln avenue is rather noisy in the morning when traffic starts up, but not a complete deal-breaker.

Overall, noise is about the only downside here, but many places I've stayed in the area are often thin-walled and noisy. I specifically requested a top-floor room, so I think that helped cut down on noise. But anyplace you stay in the area will probably be noisy when the kids are up and excited to get to Disneyland. : )

We were able to get over to the park in just a few minutes, and I thought the location was great. Plan on the parking structure taking a little bit of time on busier days, but it wasn't too bad.

This is a great place to stay, and the staff is spectacular. I would highly recommend it.

we were a little hesitant to stay at the hotel peppertree at first but was very pleased when we arrived. the hotel was very quite and our rooms were clean. we loved the fully equipped kitchen and it's only a 10 minute drive to disneyland. the bathroom is a little small and shower curtain doesn't keep the water from soaking the bathroom floor at all. but those are very minor details. we will definitely stay again.
