right big the foot this is about as
1:14
close as you can get to
1:16
staying on property without actually
1:18
staying on property
1:19
just realize that didn't make a whole
1:21
heck of a lot of sense but i've arrived
1:23
at
1:24
1630 south harbor boulevard
1:27
at the best western plus
1:31
anaheim inn and right over there
1:40
is the entrance you can walk into
1:43
currently into downtown disney
1:45
and all goes well hopefully soon
1:50
into disneyland proper and dca
1:54
no monorail at the moment but you can
1:56
see the beam there
1:58
goes no monorail for now
2:03
just for now
2:12
good to go got my room key i'm not going
2:12
to need this
2:18
pretty light when it comes to the
2:18
luggage
2:20
i'm on the second floor go up the
2:23
stairwell here now they do have a
2:26
breakfast buffet but
2:27
during these times that buffet is not
2:32
working but under regular
2:36
conditions it would be up
2:40
to the third level
2:48
up there around the corner
2:48
and here on the knob they have the weak
2:52
hair
2:52
clean sticker
2:55
tear off before you insert the card to
2:58
let you know that
3:00
they have taken care of the room
3:03
lot of sticker on there
3:11
all right let's give it a give it a
3:24
another door was going to open that
3:24
rapidly
3:31
nice keep up with tradition
3:31
close that give a little room tour got
3:34
two
3:35
chairs here a little table in the middle
3:38
two beds even though i'm staying here
3:40
tonight by myself
3:41
i have invited a buddy of mine over to
3:45
hit up the pool had to add him to the
3:48
room as well
3:50
it was a little bit extra when you put
3:52
two down
3:53
and have two beds but that's nothing
3:55
incredible
3:57
but worth it to have a friend tag along
4:06
do a little swimming desk here
4:06
good sized mirror very decent sized
4:09
television there got the remote
4:13
plenty of drawers for your clothes and
4:15
accessories
4:16
but the telephone right there looks like
4:19
to
4:19
be a pretty comfortable office chair
4:23
right there do a little work there and
4:26
then this might be
4:28
a mini fridge oh yeah mini fridge
4:31
right down there microwave
4:41
and uh armoire or it might just be a
4:41
i might just be a dresser i don't even
4:44
know what the difference is
4:46
ironing board
4:52
plenty of space to put your clothes
4:52
i always love these so you take this out
5:00
i'll learn this little trick here where
5:00
you kind of
5:02
pull this put it over in a corner like
5:05
let's say
5:07
maybe not over there i put it over here
5:09
here
5:11
and then you put your luggage on it so i
5:13
go back
5:14
get my bag i mean i didn't bring a whole
5:17
lot so i'll probably just leave it on
5:18
the desk
5:19
but if you had a lot of luggage instead
5:21
of putting it on the bed
5:22
keep it off the ground and put it on
5:25
that little
5:26
little rack there a very rustic tone to
5:29
the room
5:30
and plenty of plenty of pillows
5:34
nice artwork there on the side of the
5:37
wall
5:38
and when it comes to the air conditioner
5:40
it's a wall unit
5:42
it's not central there so you have the
5:44
one that's just kind of
5:46
kind of old school style give it a
5:49
little power on
5:50
set at 74. there it goes it's doing this
5:59
it's doing its business any
5:59
accommodations that have
6:01
any sort of coffee maker is a plus
6:04
for me now some rooms do not have a
6:06
coffee maker
6:07
this one does i highly approve of that
6:10
and you not only have caffeinated
6:12
beverages well
6:14
strong caffeinated in the form of coffee
6:15
but you have tea
6:17
and then you have all the stir sticks
6:20
and down in there the sugar sugar
6:22
substitutes
6:23
creamer and if you need ice you have the
6:25
ice bucket here
6:27
and a little decorative little tissue
6:31
tissue plate not plate but a tissue box
6:34
citrus body lotion so if you want the
6:37
lotion or
6:39
the bar style always good to have a nice
6:41
array of towels
6:43
more artwork up on the the wall there
6:47
almost looks like a hidden mickey but
6:48
not quite
6:50
it's a circle but it doesn't have the
6:53
the mouse ears i always like always like
6:56
to really document
6:58
the type of type of nozzle that is
7:01
going to be emitting the water
7:06
that is very important you got a window
7:06
up here so it doesn't get too
7:08
too muggy a fan
7:16
a couple different doses of shampoo
7:16
and a couple of conditioner as well the
7:18
brand name is
7:19
pharmacopia p-h-a-r-m-a-c-o-p-i-a
7:27
that's also the soap
7:30
company as well total cost for one night
7:34
146 dollars and some change
7:37
about 22 of it was taxes and
7:40
additional fees however parking
7:44
is complementary there is some places
7:45
we'll charge you 20 25 30
7:48
to park here that is included in the
7:51
price now this is also for
7:53
mid-september 2020 with the theme parks
7:57
not open also during a weekday
8:01
i would imagine that when everything
8:05
gets back to rolling and it's the busy
8:08
season and this place is in high demand
8:11
the prices will be considerably higher
8:14
than that
8:15
so it's a little about 120 plus the fees
8:18
brings it under 150 total for the whole
8:22
the whole stay which is only only one
8:24
evening
8:25
also reservations for the pool which
8:27
i've noticed a lot of places are doing
8:29
they only let you an
8:30
hour hour and a half since there's not a
8:33
whole lot of rooms filled up at the
8:35
moment while i am here
8:37
there are no reservations needed for the
8:39
pool
8:40
just depends on you know how busy it is
8:43
but as of today they just go in wherever
8:46
whenever
8:47
someone go over to downtown disney first
8:49
just show how close it is in proximity
8:51
also walk the property and see what we
8:54
can see
8:55
as much as possible i attempt to use the
8:58
do not disturb
8:59
little door little door danglers
9:04
i don't know i mean there's really
9:06
nothing in there that's going to be
9:07
disturbed but
9:09
when you have one when you have one of
9:11
those just might as well utilize it
9:12
right
9:13
right next to the housekeeping station
9:16
is an elevator
9:23
there's also stairs you can utilize this
9:25
is only the second floor
9:27
looking across the way panning over
9:30
there is another
9:32
best western and separating the two
9:36
is a denny's cafeteria
9:40
that best western for now is not open
9:44
and there's also another hotel right
9:47
there
9:49
are just all tucked away in here
9:58
laundry room on site as well washers
9:58
dryers
9:59
ironing board detergent
10:04
at the end of the way here
10:08
hours for that 9 a.m to 10 p.m
10:12
and continue looking in this direction
10:16
this is what i'm talking about and i'm
10:18
happy to say
10:21
that the hot tub is accessible
10:24
as well as the pool
10:27
this is going to be nice a little bit
10:29
later
10:31
this would be good too from here you
10:33
know it's not really elevated as some of
10:35
the other high rises are
10:37
only three floors as seen there but if
10:40
you were waiting in the pool
10:43
when the fireworks are going off you
10:45
would see them
10:47
over the top well i'm just assuming you
10:49
would see them over the top of that roof
10:51
line
10:52
be able to see the fireworks while
10:54
you're just hanging out in the pool
10:57
not even the entire complex is being
11:00
rented out
11:05
down there they haven't even they don't
11:05
even have those
11:07
for the time being i would imagine last
11:10
weekend
11:10
for the holiday it's a little more
11:13
bustling
11:14
you can't park down there
11:33
very peaceful back in here
11:33
there's a landmark space
11:47
that's so cool you see space mountain
11:47
from here for the time being the fitness
11:49
center
11:51
is not quite operational nor
11:56
is the breakfast room in the morning
11:58
times day
12:00
they have a buffet
12:06
except not currently not in september of
12:06
2020 could be right in here
12:10
i'll go down and show you where the
12:11
little over a little overhang is where
12:15
you'd be like kind of looking over at
12:17
the monorail beam where you'd
12:19
usually eat breakfast you can kind of
12:21
see in there
12:27
those windows there face harbor
12:27
boulevard
12:30
hours 6 30 a.m to 10 a.m
12:34
however as stated those are not hours
12:38
currently
12:43
at the bottom of the staircase got some
12:44
decorative palm trees here
12:51
under the awning and some more on this
12:51
side
12:53
where you pull up to for registration
12:59
that's the balcony i was referring to
13:01
you'd have your meal in the mornings and
13:05
look across when the monorail is
13:07
cruising by
13:08
that'd be pretty fantastic
13:19
i like this tree as well something
13:19
edward scissorhands would be proud of
13:34
sign states customer parking only no
13:34
pickup or
13:35
drop off no rideshare
13:45
oh yeah there's the seats up there
13:45

23:07
fireworks right at the top of that
23:09
building
23:09
i'm sure this is a no pun intended a hot
23:11
commodity

23:31
hot tub
23:33
two of us full capacity 24.
23:38

23:48
twelve
23:58
you're right 12 people spa capacity
23:58
interesting
24:04
and it's just bees i think bees are
24:04
attracted to
24:09
i don't know what the bees are trying to
24:09
do i think
24:10
i think they're attracted to the
24:11
flooring because i've noticed in some
24:14
other pools there's always
24:16
bees around the wasps
