Hotel Dream Gate Maihama

amazing hotel for its convenience, cleanliness especially travelling with a toddler. Location: maximum 10mins walking to Disneyland entrance Room: large space, no issues with 2 large + 2 small luggages to be open at the same time. Toilet is also very spacious, perfect to bathe children. Clean. Convenience: right opposite ikspiara with food court, restaurants, bakeries (to get breakfast during the queuing to the theme park). Hotel is attached to the JR station.

The hotel is very conveniently located at the Maihama JR station, also next to the Disney Resort Welcome Center. There is also Ikspiari nearby, and convenience stores, coffee shops and restaurant. Monorail is also easily accessible. Check in is using a self service kiosk, and the hotel staff was very kind to help us using it. Breakfast is buffet style at saizeriya restaurant near the hotel, and the buffet breakfast was very good. Other than these, I feel the service is minimal at the hotel. I made reservation online, but I guess I didn't enter my reservation in the most favorable way (to me) which made my room charge so high (over 72,000 yen, which is almost the price of the luxury hotels of disneyland for the same day). In the hotel website, I did select 2 adults + 2 little children + 1 infant without the need of bed, but the printout from the kiosk seems to have 4 adult meal vouchers. It was a bit difficult to talk with the hotel staff in English (although they are nice), and I didn't find out whether I entered my reservation correctly. But if you book a room there, please note the room charge varies with the number of people or adults, and the way you enter the info could affect the price a lot. The room was very clean. There is separate tub and shower area like other Japanese hotels which I like very much. There are 3 beds plus a smaller bed - I think all, or most if not all, rooms have this arrangement as I looked into the room as I walked by them during the checkout time. The beds can be moved (e.g. 2 beds putting together to form a larger bed). Good enough for our family of 5. While the beds are sufficient (for our family of 5), the room is a bit small to put luggage or to have a meal (small table / limited space). Check out was smooth. After checking out, we went to the very close Disney Resort Welcome Center to buy park tickets, and give our luggage there so the center helps deliver to our next hotel (Toy Story Hotel). I will consider this hotel again, if I don't need the happy entry for disney (e.g. if I played in tokyo disneyland the night before but going to somewhere else the next day).

Best experience in a very convenient hotel so close to Tokyo Disneyland and Maihama station. Huge room, many amenities, and options for late dinner. Breakfast is served in the restaurant from a famous japanese restaurant chain so quality is very good.
