We (me, hubby, and 5-year-old) just got back from a 4-night stay at the GCH. We had a great time! We checked in around 10:30am, but our room wasn't ready. It sounds like it's just standard operating procedure to not have rooms available until after 3 or 4pm. Bell services stored our luggage while we went to Disneyland for a few hours. Once we were able to get into our room, we called bell services and our luggage was brought up within a few minutes. A nice touch would be to have the luggage waiting for us in the room.
We were in a standard room with two queen beds on the 6th floor. We had a balcony that overlooked the courtyard, and we could barely see the top of the Disneyland Hotel. It looks like most of the rooms have a nice balcony. Our room was very comfortable and nicely appointed. I liked the black-out shades, but it didn't do us much good - we were too excited to sleep! Our room came with with a coffee maker, iron and ironing board, in-room safe, and some nice toiletries. It's not often you see separate shampoo and conditioner provided in hotel rooms, as well as mouthwash. We had the refrigerator locked, and requested an empty fridge in the room. We stocked it with a few things from the White Water Snack shop near the pool. It was more expensive than buying things at a grocery store, but it was convenient. We ordered room service one day, and they quoted us 30-40 minutes, but we got it within 15-20 minutes.
The pool is really nice. They have robes to wear to the pool, and towels are available in the pool area. They also have life jackets. My daughter loved the water slide! There are two hot tubs, and a kiddie pool area. The kiddie pool was probably 6-8" deep.
In all, our experience at the hotel was just fine. Our room was located close to the elevators near the entrance to CA, so that was very convenient - especially since my daughter wanted to ride Grizzly River Run over and over and over! A bit longer to walk to Disneyland, but not a big deal. We didn't encounter any problems, and I would definitely recommend this hotel.
