This was actually a really helpful video. Other Disney vloggers drag on and talk about irrelevant information so thank you for making this easy to follow and comprehensive.
Great suggestions. Keep them coming ❤
Thank you for this video!🎉
Yay! You made the video! Great job…thanks so much❤❤❤
I did! Thanks for suggesting it.
Thank you for letting us know where else we can stay near Disneyland. Great deals.👍
Great video! Some I didn’t even know about. I booked at the Candy Cane Inn right after seeing your review video! Looking forward to our stay, I wish they knew you were bringing in customers so I can let them know!
You’ll have an amazing stay there I’m sure.
Perfect timing. I’ve done soooo much research with packages with getaway today and Costco. My wife and I, my sister, and her husband are all going the last week in September. We want a 5 min walk with breakfast included. Seems like best western might be the best option.
It’s one of the only ones with free breakfast. And with it being the literal closest hotel, it can’t be beat.
We enjoyed our stay for the most part. It’s not going to rock your socks off with quality, but it does the job when you spend most of your time in the park.
Phenomenal job! Great video
Thank you!
Best Western and Candy Cane Inn are my top favorite. Plus, with the free shuttle Candy Cane has, its a plus. I have stayed at Castle Inn and Suites. It was a while ago. I think I liked it. Glad you and Amy are going and doing a review. You can refresh my memory.
I am looking forward to it. After seeing the pictures for Tropicana, Amy really wants to stay there sometime too.
@@SoCalDisneyDad I liked the Tropicana. Stayed there in January. Very nice and the staff were so helpful and friendly.
Thanks for this video, we are planning a trip to DL & trying to decide where to stay and this was super helpful!
Hope you have a good time!
This is so helpful. Thank you for all your research, video & info. Good choices for folks for a long-term stay or a weekend getaway.
Would love your thoughts on the Knott's Berry Farm Hotel. Want to stay there sometime & visit Knott's and Disneyland. 😊
If you check out the playlist in the description of this video, the “Disneyland Area Hotels” playlist includes the Knott’s Berry Farm hotel as well as Great Wolf Lodge (if you’d ever consider staying there p.s. it’s awesome).
Stayed at the Camelot with my five wild grandkids! Even after feeding the Koi fish raisin bread ( a big sign posted but the littles couldn’t read yet! And the teenagers ignored it! ) They did not throw us out! Also clean linen anytime you ask! Fun place!
I’ve never been to Disneyland and not stayed at Camelot, it’s great you can even see the fireworks from the hot tube on the roof and the rooms are excellent
We love Anaheim Majestic Inn. They have a great shuttle, super cute at Christmas, and the rooms are all updated.
Was the shuttle really full
Are the rooms still big
We are staying at the Fairfield in April when we visit. Haven’t stayed there before, it was the best deal when we booked. Thank you for your great videos.
We enjoyed our stay there, however limited the amenities might have been during the shutdowns.
We got a chuckle over our Disney room having pictures on the wall of Walt Disney World instead of Disneyland though. 😂
We just stayed there. Very quick walk to the park. No breakfast. Nice customer service. Beds were a bit hard but it was fine. AC was loud which I preferred so I couldn't hear the kids in the pool or anyone else.
Candy cane inn was the go-to hotel when I used to go annually to disney!
Ours too! Now that we are reviewing hotels for the channel, we’ve only stayed there once in the last two years. But before that, it was our preferred hotel.
Try the Ramada. I stayed there last week during Labor Day. And I liked it. It is under a mile from the park, so fairly walkable. Free parking and free breakfast. Valet parking was free too. Rooms were fine. And they had rooms with bunk beds plus a coach. My group was 5 people and so we were all able to have our own beds in one room
On our last Disneyland visit we did stay at the Courtyard by Marriott and it was very nice. It is quite popular and gets booked up fast, so we reserved our room several months in advanced. We were fortunate enough to have enough Marriott reward points to be able to cover our entire stay-otherwise it would have been very pricey to stay there (especially with no free parking or breakfast). We had a park view room, which gave us the view of Space Mountain, the Matterhorn, and the monorail going around (and the Guardians of the Galaxy tower in the distance). It would have been perfect for watching fireworks-if they had had them during our stay. The bathroom had 2 showers (one glass door enclosed and the other was a tub/shower combo with a fabric curtain). The room also had a mini fridge, microwave, and a corner table for eating our breakfast (we had brought our own drinks, protein bars, and mini muffins to eat before rope dropping each morning). My daughter had her own little nook that had a bunk bed and window, which gave her the view of the water park below. We enjoyed being able to just walk down Harbor Blvd, among the many other park goers, and head straight to security/park gates so easily by 7:30am and then leave the parks whenever we wanted to head back. Not having to worry about Disneyland parking, trams, buses, monorails, or hotel shuttles was so nice. We also grabbed a quick meal at their cafe one night (the table we sat at had a mini TV screen that showed cartoons). The food we had was delicious and really hit the spot. They had a small gift shop that we did look through, but didn’t actually purchase anything from there. Instead on the morning of our check out day, we walked to Downtown Disney with no crowds and picked up our souvenirs there, walked back, and then checked out. Having such comfortable beds and a positive hotel experience really made a huge difference in making our whole Disneyland trip really memorable. If given the chance, we would definitely stay there again.
Thank you for sharing this! I am so happy to hear you had an amazing trip. 😃
Florida Disneyland might be the better place for reasonable Hotel prices then.
The Courtyard Marriott is great for larger families and teens! We have stayed here for our last 2 trips. We have 3 teenage daughters and it is difficult to find hotels to accommodate us. The kids refuse to sleep on a pull out chair/couch now that they’re older (I don’t blame them!) but don’t mind the bunk beds at this hotel. We stayed in the 2 queen suite the first visit, but found the 2 rooms not really necessary. We stayed in a standard room the second time and it was great! The two showers are especially nice. Although this hotel is on the expensive side, for us it’s much cheaper than booking 2 rooms or a suite that can fit us elsewhere.
i stayed at castle inn last year. and while the hotel wasn't the greatest, the water pressure was AMAZING!!! lol my favorite part of the anaheim hotel was the little outdoor patio or balcony area you get with the room.
I look forward to trying them both. Eventually it’s my goal to hit all the hotels on Harbor within the 1-2 block radius from the entrance.
Great video
I would love to see Hyatt House and some of the newer hotels on the far side of these ones in your reviews too! We’ve stayed at the resort hotels in the past and are branching out.
I found that Candy Cane Inn's prices have really gone up. (You have a comment about it to someone else.) I hope you do more hotel reviews, it's really helpful!
Fun to watch these different hotels but I live like five miles from Dland 😊

This is the best video of the anaheim hotels!!!!
omg my family loves the Howard Johnson we've stayed there both times we've been to Disneyland
The Camelot has a pool on the second floor, which is nice for watching fireworks if you're not in the parks :)
Oh, nice! We will probably make it a point to stay there before the end of Summer.
The candy cane inn is the place I’d like to stay the most it’s just unfortunate it’s not with getaway today. The cost really adds up when buying tickets and hotel separately.
I hear ya for sure.
The grand legacy was horrible. There’s that rooftop bar above and it’s ridiculously loud until 11pm or later… the walls were shaking as if we were literally at the club! Horrible! Good video thanks! Love the candy and hotel, love that it’s floor and not carpeting!
We didn’t have trouble with noise. I don’t even really remember why we didn’t like it. I think it was just bad customer service.
But I literally see so many people rave about it, so I included it on the list as a “fan favorite”
I am going to Disneyland for the first time in May and I can’t wait to stay at the Best Western Plus Park Place Inn!!
It’s a good one! The ease of going to bed after leaving the park with how close it is was by far the best perk. You can’t get any closer unless you book the GCH. 😂
@@SoCalDisneyDad yeah and no way I have the money for that lol. I’m traveling from NY so this will be such a different experience!!
I got lucky I didn't buy my tickets last week for my summer trip. I will be using your code to save a few more bucks for some summer souvenirs
Thank you! We earn a small commission with the use of our link/code (at no extra cost to you). So it’s much appreciated.
Have you stayed at the JW Marriot Anaheim Resort? What are your thoughts of it? Is very far or is it still walkable? Thank you for all the great content! Cheers!
It’s a bit further away, but not terrible. Maybe a 10-12 minute walk?
We’ve stayed at the Clarion before which was a 20 minute walk and we did it several days. Only stayed there once though.
Get Away Today really loves the Clarion. Or at least they always have really great deals for there.
I’ve heard a hack is to walk across the street to the Toy Story Parking Lot and take the Disney transportation to the resort to avoid the walk.
But that has nothing to do with what you asked. I have never stayed there, but looking at its location it’s doable. You’ll just have a few traffic lights to cross.
Stayed at Courtyard Marriott very nice 👍
Can you rank all of the California Adventure rides please?
I went in march 4 points sheraton had a shuttle
You missed our favourite, Desert Inn & Suites!!! It's as close as any, has a free breakfast and has suites for larger families!!!
Yes, I had skipped over it and two others that are right there. Primarily because I’ve never stayed there and they aren’t with Get Away Today.
I do intend to visit all of the hotels that are right there close eventually. We stay overnight about once every 3 months or so. So it’ll take me a little while to get to them, but each time we do we stay somewhere else.
Hey is the drain in the second sink on the left in the men’s bathroom outside the exit to space mountain a hidden Mickey?
I have no idea. But I can have a look on my next visit.
Maybe add some Information on the handicap rooms
i’m a little late to this video, but i was wondering if you’d ever stayed at the VIV?? me and my girlfriend stay there every time we go to disneyland and we love it. curious on your thought?
Can you do a list of hotels on Katella?
how about Suncoast Hotel by Hilton?
What are your thoughts on the Alpine Inn? It’s next to Candy Cane Inn
I'm not sure. I've never heard of it before now. A quick glance shows free parking, so that's good. It's about $25 cheaper there than Candy Cane for a random date I checked, but I don't see free breakfast at all. I'd probably still book Candy Cane, personally. But it's worth a consideration.
Is this in Florida or California
Have you reviewed the Travelodge by Disneyland?
I have not.
We will be staying at the Park Vue in April.
That’s pretty close there too. I don’t think they are associated with Get Away so I didn’t list it. The only one I listed not with Get Away was Candy Cane just because we love it so much.
I haven’t ever stayed at Park Vue. Hope it’s a good experience for you!
@@SoCalDisneyDad We have stayed at the LuLu a couple times. Might not be get away but we like it.
I am looking into booking a Disney vacation. I am stymied on transportation from the airport. LAX is a bit far. How are Uber prices from the Orange County Airport to the Disney area?
The cost to Uber from LAX is $75ish. The cost from John Wayne will be maybe $30ish as it’s about a 1/3rd of the distance away.
Often flights to LAX are cheaper so if your flights are more than about $50 to John Wayne, then you might as well go to LAX, unless you just don’t want to deal with LAX (which is a valid reason all in itself).
@@SoCalDisneyDad Yeah not my first rodeo with LAX. Been to LA many times over the years. But my first time, I was 18 ( 1988) I found a deal and stayed at the Disneyland Hotel. With my job at the time, and savings I was able to pay for me and a friend to go. The taxi's wasn't bad back then either. Heck we took a taxi one night just to go up to Sunset Blvd. LOL. I still have a ash tray from the Disneyland hotel. The Disneyland Hotel now is bit more pricey. Will the Haunted Mansion be open by October? It's either Land or World. I have found a good deal for World, but I would real like to go to Land cause they do the Nightmare before Xmas at Haunted Mansion, and a couple other things that World doesn't have. We went to DisneyWorld in October of 2021.
Hi! Just curious if it’s safe walking in the area at night. We’re actually staying at the Anaheim Marriott with my husband’s points. We’ll be staying at least 2 nights in the park after dark watching the fireworks and then world of color. I’m just a little concerned about safety walking back to our hotel.
Yes, down to that hotel is perfectly safe. I mean, the whole area is safe. But going over the bridge north on Harbor feels sketchier. Whereas the portion you’ll be walking is just fine. I’ve gone a lot further down before to the Clarion without issue.
No one ever does parkvue since it’s not getaway Yet closest.
When I went looking on each hotels website the prices you were showing were nowhere near the prices you were giving, are prices cheaper for people who live there?
No, the prices listed are the lowest rates that I found over a 3 months period.
Many of the websites allow you to look at their rates on a calendar view of the whole month.
Some of those hotels also offered AAA discounts or a “book early and save” rate so I included that discount as the “lowest” rate.
This is just to give you a baseline comparison cost for the hotel compared to the other hotels on the list.
Costs vary by day. Booking on a Tuesday will cost either more or less than booking on a Wednesday. And holidays and weekends will always be more expensive, sometimes significantly so. So there’s no possible way to provide the exact cost for any given person, so I opted to choose lowest rate in a 3 months time period.
Most of those are sometime in May, but each hotel varied as to when their lowest rate was available. They didn’t all follow some easily recognizable pattern.
The Clementine Inn and Suites is awesome too. Better for groups. Free parking, free breakfast.
Most of the ones you have reviewed are motels not hotels. I have stayed at a couple of them. Not really impressed.
Can you go to the water park if you aren’t a guest at the Marriott?
No. Their website specifies it’s for guests only.
Do you know anything about Staybridge Suites at the park? Or could you add that to your list of hotels to explore :)
That’s right across the street from the Anaheim Majestic (on this list). That one is probably going to be a tad too far away for walking. Not impossible, I walked it twice when I stayed at the Majestic, but it wasn’t the easiest.
I can consider this place, for sure, but no idea when I’d get around to it unfortunately.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Thank you I will go back and review it. We are a couple years out from our trip, but my husband has IHG points that would cover our hotel stay. Hoping to hop on the tram at Disney and Friends Parking garage. We appreciate your advice and videos!
@@mauracarr You should be able to do that, though it may be a bit convoluted on how to get there.
I don’t think there’s street access to Mickey and Friends, so you might need to walk down to the bridge that connects Pixar Pals to Downtown Disney and go up that way into Pixar Pals, then down the escalator to the tram loading.
That’s still going to be about a 10 minute walk to the trams. FYI.
There is a Holiday Inn Express just off Harbor by the HoJo and Courtyard (in this video) that you’d be able to use points on, but it may be too expensive? It’d be a lot closer though. That 10 minute walk would have you in the park instead of just at the trams.
What is your opinion on the Hyatt house ?? We’ll be staying for a week soon, and I hear pros and cons 😅
I've not stayed there before, but it's just on the opposite corner of the street from Candy Cane Inn, which is a pretty easy walk. It just includes 2 more traffic lights because you'd have to cross both Katella and Harbor just to get to Candy Cane.
By the looks of it, you'd have to pay for the ART bus if you wanted a shuttle. It's not super expensive, but it's not a free shuttle, from what I was able to quickly dig up. You may find this to not be the case if you call and talk to them.
@@SoCalDisneyDad I heard the walk isn’t too bad, hopefully! It also has breakfast but Parkin is $28/day. I was reading some of the comments and we have six in our family so the value, overall satisfactory and a free breakfast is a must for us! I’ll let you know about our stay at the end of April 👍🏻
@@jennfranklin2015 Please do!
Have you stayed at Alpine Inn or desert palms? Planning a trip in Feb with me and 2 friends.
I have not. I think the only hotel I’ve stayed at since this video is the Anaheim Hotel, which was pretty solid and would recommend.
Maybe you can get to one or both before our trip in Feb?
I really wanted to stay at candy cane inn bc of all your praise but $300+/night is not in our budget.😔
@@kristiburton3834 Yeah, unfortunately they have upped their price since we stayed last February ($199/night).
And also unfortunately is the next hotel review I have planned is Pixar Place at the beginning of February and that ate all my budget for hotel reviews for a few months.
@@SoCalDisneyDad oh bummer. 😔 I look forward to watching it even though I don't expect I will be able to afford it. 😉
@@kristiburton3834 Yeah, that one is a doozy. And it’s the cheapest of the Disney hotels.
Cascata
Hello! Since this video have you stayed at the Tropicana?!
@@Tanyanicm Not yet. No. I almost booked it for tonight, but opted for no hotel and just heading home. Hotels are getting expensive. All $300+ for the most part.
It’s hard for us to justify that cost unless we have a 2-day visit.
@@SoCalDisneyDad thanks for the reply! Everything is so expensive so that is very understandable! Thanks alot!
I think their price went up. It’s not $199 my husband just book us two nights and he paid $600+ 😢 I understand price always change. Depends on the months.
Yeah, I looked around and found the lowest rate over a 3-4 month period. The average, though, is around $229/night (plus taxes and fees) so the $600 for two nights sounds about right.
@@SoCalDisneyDad I should’ve gone those days!!!!😩
You skipped over Park Vue Inn. We have stayed there 6 times and it has always been good with free parking.
There were a few hotels in there that I specifically left off the video. All clustered right there near the Park Vue. To my knowledge, they aren’t associated with Get Away Today, and we were trying to point out those hotels since Get Away offers awesome packages that help save some cash over booking everything separately on your own.
I only included Candy Cane, which is not on Get Away, because it happens to be our #1 personal choice for a hotel. It’s a bummer they aren’t with Get Away, but they are a phenomenal little privately owned hotel with amazing quality and perks (free breakfast and parking).
I just had a quick glance at the rooms at Park Vue and it looks like a great place! We will have to give it a try some time.
They aren’t with Get Away Today but it is so close and the staff has always been exceptional. Last year our room key wasn’t working and it was really hot so they let us wait the hour it took to fix in another open room so we could rest and watch tv.
The best hotel is one that is close enough with a free shuttle, free breakfast and no parking fee! $$$$
That’s basically Candy Cane. 😂
Im from Australia and the exchange rate is very poor to stay in Katella Ave or close to Disneyland Hotel costs are between 160.00 US and above per night to stay a week well over 1,000 US dollars how can the average American afford this.Unless you stay at Hotels 5klms away can get a better deal well at times depends.And then the Quality of the Hotel they all have a problem or many issues with the Hotel on the money you are paying you want a good Hotel that is clean,Housekeeping must be spot on the Front Desk must be efficient in there duties,also the condition of the room and how it is maintained has anyone come across a good Hotel for the right price at all.
When I went to Hawaii earlier this year for our vacation, we were there for a week.
Our first hotel, for three nights, cost $1,100.
Our second hotel, for 4 nights, cost about $2,200. This was the Disney hotel, equivalent to staying Deluxe at Disneyland or Walt Disney World. But there’s no theme park so the hotel is your experience.
We are planning our Walt Disney World trip for next year right now and 7 nights there will cost us $1,700. And two nights at Universal will cost us $800 (now we are staying at a very fancy hotel there because it includes express pass, which makes up a huge portion of the cost. It’s actually cheaper to stay at the fancy hotel with free express than get a cheaper hotel and pay for express separately). But our total hotel costs will be $2,500 for 9 nights, and Florida tends to be cheaper in hotel costs than California by far.
The best close hotel to Disneyland to stay at for the most affordable prices that still has a free shuttle is the Anaheim Majestic (in my opinion).
2500 US you paid that will be 3,500 Aussie my money touch over the top.They just charge what they want it's wrong.
Maybe best but decently NOT price smart!!!
There’s a range of both affordable and moderate hotels on the list.
The only one that’s really really expensive is the Courtyard. While the lowest price I found in the next 3 months was around $300/night, I tried to book it for April 14th and it’s $700. 😵💫
I’m sure there are significantly cheaper hotels. Ones that are further away, or aren’t as nice.
Despite that, all of these hotels are cheaper than staying on property.
Does it matter? All the hotels, including Disney's, are turning into the same old boring Marriot design. It is all starting to feel the same, no authenticity.
Perhaps. Perhaps not. When I pick a hotel, it's usually purely for cost to value ratio. And what you value is entirely up to you.
For me, the top hotels are:
---Candy Cane Inn (free parking, free breakfast, proximity, excellent service, affordability, appearance)
---Howard Johnson (water playground, excellent service, proximity)
---Best Western Park Place (proximity, free breakfast)
---and Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel (affordability, overall appearance)
A hotel is ultimately a place to sleep so you can enjoy the parks. Which is why I tend to avoid expensive hotels (like the Disney hotels) or ones without many perks (breakfast being a huge perk that not many hotels in the area offer).
