The selling point for us was that it was very close to the park and a good price for the scale of hotel it is.

I've always liked the bigger rooms - we had one where the second bed was in a nook (so, out of the way) for the DD (no DS at that point) and one where there was a teeny tiny bedroom with a daybed in it and a door (so we could let our infant sleep while we watched TV without as much worry about the noise).
However! It is not as close as it appears. Since it is on Katella, you have to walk to the convention center and cross into the parking lot and catch a tram to the plaza. Last week, the Lion King parking lot was closed and I remarked to DH that it was good we weren't expecting to catch a tram (we drove instead of walked for the first time in, well, ever).
If the lot is still closed, the option is to go past Tiffy's (restaurant next door on the corner) and up Disney Way to the Grand Californian (only if DCA is already open) or Downtown Disney for access to the parks. All in all, it's not a bad walk, just tiring at the end of the day.
I hope I'm not discouraging you, neighbor (*waves in the general direction of Pahrump*), but wanted you to know. It's a hotel at motel prices, but we changed to a motel on Harbor for walking convenience (Best Western Park Place, if you're interested).
