My dad wants to stay someplace nice. He's into magic and pixie dust... but underneath all of those, it had better be pretty nice place. He's a Hilton Concierge level kind of guy. The beds are really nice, the king-sized sheets actually fit the bed, that sort of thing. Nothing tacky, nothing worn, etc.
GC- my absolute dream of ALL Disney resorts anywhere- is too pricey since he's springing for a trip for the whole family (he'll be getting two rooms).
So... the true lowdown on the Disneyland Hotel would be great. I've read around for a lot of opinions, they seem to fall into two camps: "not all that nice" and "so magical!". The people who say it's not so nice always seem to be bitter about something, so I have to consider that in reading their reviews. I guess what I want to know is this: pixie dust aside, how does DLH rate against other nice places to stay?
Any info on Paradise Pier would be welcomed, too.
Because really, I'm doing all this research out of the goodness of my heart.

The fact that I am a beneficiary of this trip has nothing to do with it. Really.

Thanks!
