- Опубліковано 27 чер 2024
- The Candy Cane Inn has a storied history that's connected to the opening of Disneyland in Anaheim, California. This is the oldest privately owned hotel/motel in the area and was originally going to be called The Cinderella Inn. After Walt Disney turned down the name they settled on Candy Cane Inn since the hotel opened on Christmas Day.
A stay at the Candy Cane Inn includes the best continental breakfast we've ever had at a hotel. The rooms and grounds were refurbished in 2021 and offer a fresh modern style. The amenities also include Trolley service to The Disneyland Resort, a 7 to 15 minute walk to the gates of Disneyland, a pool, hot tub, fitness center, laundry, unlimited water, hot coffee and garden style patio seating.
We covered everything they have to offer here during our stay. From the buttery morning croissants, smart televisions, history and everything in between; we cover it all and provide our full review of this legendary Disneyland Good Neighbor Hotel.

That’s 1000% a rugable rug lol. This place looks so cute and a 15 minute Walk to the entrance of Disneyland is pretty awesome. I think it’s awesome you guys find and stay at the other places outside of the Disneyland hotels that people can stay at. I would have never known about this place if it wasn’t for you two.
Ruggable did a great job bringing a touch of Disney here! This spot was great and we actually found it because it's highly regarded by Disneyland locals online. Unfortunately the Disney hotels are pricing us out but honestly we'd choose to come back here over Disney after the stellar experience we had. Can't wait for you, Chrissy and young Lucas to experience Disneyland together 🙂.
We just returned from a 3 day stay at the Candy Cane Inn. There were 10 of us ranging in age from 7-72. We had a great stay! Awesome continental breakfast, clean, spacious rooms, free parking outside our room, pristine pool and surrounding area, and the most responsive staff on the planet.
That's awesome- I'm glad to hear they are staying consistent, we can't wait to go back!!!
We've always wondered about the Candy Cane Inn! We've now stayed at the Anaheim Hotel twice, and have always found ourselves walking past Candy Cane on our way to Downtown Disney. I've always found the theming on the facade outside of the hotel, especially during the holiday season, to be somewhat captivating...but tbh I was always worried that the actual accommodations might be a little run down given how old the property is. I'm glad to see that they actually look really nice! I kind of like the vent being on the ceiling, too, particularly since we tend to leave it running all night as a white noise machine. Truly, $250/night anywhere near a theme park strikes me as a steal....but at that price, finding a room that looks like a Hilton room and includes breakfast and a fabulous-looking pool? You're robbing the system blind imo! 😁 Part of what we look forward to on our Disney trips on either coast are the Disney resort stays, so it's hard for us to give up the Disney touch for a good neighbor alternative. That said, I think it's safe to say that we're going to be eyeing the Candy Cane Inn with more enthusiasm now that we have friends who have stayed there and recommended the experience! Thanks for sharing, you two! Great vlog. ✨
When we were asking for suggestions during our first trip to Disneyland back in 2018 a lot of people kept suggesting this hotel. We didn't take their advice and I seriously regret that decision now that we've stayed here. I had similar reservations given the age of the hotel but it really is one of the best hotels/motels we've stayed at. The vent on the ceiling is great because heat rises and definitely keeps the room cooler. We actually used a white noise machine when we stayed here! While we also like the Disney theming I honestly think the foliage here and amenities more than made up for it. The price is right too. We found most nights are a little over $300 but when you factor in distance, Incl. Food, coffee and water. I think statistically it really is an incredible value. Thank you! If you both ever stay here we'd be really interested in your take 🙂.
We love this place. It's clean, great staff, nice facilities, breakfast, and free shuttle. It's right next to Disneyland so you can also walk. Free parking too! When we stayed a second time they gave us a discount as return customers.
We agree and that’s awesome. They definitely care about their customers.
This was SO helpful! For some reason, I find it harder to find a hotel in the Disneyland area as compared to Disneyworld. Will definitely be booking a stay here for our first Disneyland trip next year. Thanks guys!
So happy we could help with your trip 🙂. It's not just you, us too! Since Disneyland really only has 3 resorts here at pretty steep prices, it can be hard to navigate the Harbor Blvd and Good Neighbor Hotel options. It's one of the reasons we missed this place our passed few visits. Hope you have the best trip! Thank you 🌟
This is such a great video, so detailed! Thanks! I can’t wait to stay here, it’s beautiful!
Thank you so much, we absolutely loved our stay at Candy Cane! Hope you have a great trip :)
We just caught your review of The Candy Cane Hotel. We have stayed there our last 3 visits. We used to stay in property, but at prices nearing $500-1,000 a night! Crazy prices with very few perks.
I’m excited to see what other goodies at the park you share .😊
Thank you 🙂, we actually have two more Disneyland Resort vlogs coming out soon! Definitely agree with the craziness of Disney resort prices now. Even at Walt Disney World, the Pop Century rooms that used to be $150 are sometimes $400 or more a night now. We loved it at the Candy Cane Inn and will definitely be back!
Morning! I was excited for this video when you mentioned it last video! Looks like an amazing hotel and experience!
Good Morning 🙂 and thank you! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't recommend it enough.
I really wish we were able to stay there last year! It had been closed during our trip for renovations. But it looks like such a great spot to stay and SO convenient to the parks. A great distance. Great room tour. Love the candy cane themed napkins lol. That complimentary breakfast looks AMAZING! Whoa, a huge spread for sure. It looks delicious. The pool and hot tub area look nice too, I like the roof over the hot tub. I can always hear everything in my hotel rooms too lol, everyone's always slamming. Love your Haunted Mansion ears Sam! :) Fantastic review as always!
Ugh, hopefully you guys get to stay here next trip 🙂. We always heard great things but really didn't get it until we stayed here. The walk to Disneyland is quicker than Grand Floridian to Magic Kingdom 😆. The breakfast may be our favorite amenity here though. The spread was amazing. Fresh waffles! Unfortunately we did hear a bit from other rooms but like you said that happens everywhere. Thank you 🙂. We really appreciate it!
Thorough review, reasonable without being too picky 😂 Just subbed🎉🎉
Thank you 🙂. We really enjoy exploring and doing in depth tours of the places we stay at. Happy you enjoyed and we appreciate you subbing!
My family will be going to Disney World for the very first time in a couple months!! Whoot whoot. With that said we have been to Disneyland multiple times throughout my boys young childhood. They are 14 and 17 now. We are from San Diego and even though we could have driven home after a day at Disneyland we always opted to stay in a hotel when we went to Disneyland. We stayed in multiple different hotels throughout the year but the one we would choose time and time again was the Hyatt Regency Orang County. It is just a better price for a bit more upscale experience. When we first started going they had a free shuttle to Disneyland. Unfortunately now it is no longer free. But it is still a good value in my opinion. It is a better price because it is a little further away from Disney but it really is negligible.
Ahhh that’s so exciting! Hope you have the best trip. Oh man that stinks they charge for the transportation now, but if you still think it’s worth it, it must be a great place!
Jay, I love your haircut!! Looking good!!
Thank you! Sam is calling me military Jay 😆
This place looks awesome! The breakfast made me hungry! Also- gotta mention it again, there’s nothing like jay pronouncing water 😂😂
It's such a great cost effective option in the Disneyland area! Haha it's the Lawn-guy-land accent!
If I ever go to Disneyland I might stay here just for the free breakfast!
hahaha no judgement!!!! We think about this breakfast all the time LOL
Great hotel review guys, always very thorough! First vid I ever watched of yours was a Dollywood hotel vid
Thank you 🙂. We really enjoy doing these detail hotel tours and going over all the little details. Can't wait to get back to Dollywood. We may have another hotel tour from there coming out real soon!
@@ThemeParkFoodiesoh yeah she has a brand new hotel now! Heartsong. Looking forward to you guys’ take 👍
Just booked with Candy Cane Inn, this will be a 2nd stay. The Disney package we got with hopper passes also includes a Disney lanyard & Disney pin, and 10% discount shopping/eating in downtown Disney! Your video has us excited!! Great into ❤
That's awesome!!! We think about this breakfast all the time lol Have an amazing trip :)
Hey!! Just had your favorite cheesecake from the coram diner...I agree....it was one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had!!
Jay was so happy to see this! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Oh sweet thank you ❤
Of course 🙂, thanks for your support!
We always stay in a hotel because motels are typically noisier because there’s not that buffer to outside roads, bugs are more likely to come into the rooms, & I feel less safe. You had me willing to give this motel a chance until 25:34 that’s a deal-breaker for me; I’m a light sleeper. GREAT review though!
Totally understand and thank you 😊
Aww such an amazing hotel - does it live up to its name at Xmas time? That breakfast was legit amazing - fresh waffles wow! Great review guys 😊
Haven't seen it in person but I've heard they decorate nicely for Christmas. Definitely an amazing hotel. Sam and I still talk about the breakfast 😆 so good! Thank you 🙂.
I have always loved the Candy Cane Inn and have been staying there since 1964. I have watched it grow and change through the years. But this last renovation and the price hikes have priced me out of staying there. $379 a night is not something I want to pay for a motel type property, which is what they quoted me for September 2024. At that price my 3 night stay would be 1121.61! Yes. They advertise and brag about no resort fees, no parking fees, free breakfast and having a shuttle to and from Disneyland, but I can get the same thing at a hotel a little farther away, WITH no parking fees, no resort fees, free breakfast and I can park at the Disney parking lots, go back and forth 7 times a day for what the Candy Cane is now charging. To say I am disappointed is not even accurate. They took a nice place for an average family and priced us out. What a lovely way to treat your original customer base. Glad you guys were able to enjoy, but I would rather have more money to use at the park than pay their ridiculous prices.
Understand where you’re coming from. Thanks for sharing your input.
sweet hotel with a great complimentary breakfast almost as good as disney club room so 250 including breakfast blows Disney's club room out of the park💕
😆 so true! The breakfast was phenomenal too. The walk was probably quicker than Grand Floridian to the Magic Kingdom. Overall an incredible value.
Please try the clementine….it is fabulous.
Thanks for the suggestion 🙂. It'll be on the list for future vacations!
Thanks for the comprehensive video tour/review! We are planning a trip to Disneyland and this is one of the hotels we are considering. One quick question: in the last minute of the video you mention the only issues is security. Could you please elaborate? Are there safety/security issues with the hotel itself or were you referring to another aspect?
Hello! Thanks so much for watching and hope you have the best trip 🙂. Candy Cane is definitely an exceptional option in our opinion. To clarify, when we spoke about security what we were referencing was having to use Disneyland's Harbor Blvd. Security gate. Due to there being numerous hotels on Harbor Blvd. It can take up to 20 min to get through security during busy times. We felt completely safe during our stay.
I live close enough to go home (40 minute drive in Riverside) but I’m looking for options to stay and not have to drive 😅. Thank you, definitely best option thus far.
I think about the breakfast often LOL
This one looks like a great option. It had been sold out every time I looked to book it, so we ended up at the DLH last time.
It's a gem for sure!
That’s where I stayed as a kid in the ‘60s ,no trolly then and it was very affordable.. Where’s the giant candy canes, miss the old decor.
We never saw the older decor 🙁. It's so nice you got to grow up coming here. Incredibly convenient and scenic.
My name is craig Dennis me and my mom and my dad are doing fine today are both haveing fun at Disneyland you both have fun on rest of your trip and both take care and you both be safe👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙂🙂
Hi Craig 🙂, happy to hear you and your family are well. We're actually back from Disneyland but it was so much fun! Thanks again for all your support. Have a great day and take care friend.
For years, my sister has said she'll only stay at the Candy Cane inn when visiting Disneyland. Now I understand why.
It definitely has a following- we met people on the trolley who have been staying there for years. It's very charming, convenient, and the refurb looks great!
Hi! I read in a guide book that the TVs only have streaming channels, not broadcast TV. Is that true? Unfortunately, that's a deal breaker for me.
Honestly, I don't remember and can't find any information on it online. We barely used the TV on our trip and when we did we put on UA-cam. I'd definitely recommend calling them and asking! Sorry I couldn't be more help 😬.
Where else can I make reservations besides the main website?
disneyland.disney.go.com/hotels/good-neighbor/candy-cane-inn/
Thank you for this review! Is it worth it for $320 a night!? The rates went up!
You're welcome. Oh wow! It depends- if you have a family and are taking advantage of the breakfast each today, I'd say definitely.
How your stay at candy Lane 🍬 inn?
Perfect!
First
🙂
