Return to Question of the Week Highlights If you have stayed offsite while visiting Disneyland at one of the nearby good neighbor resorts, which ones would you recommend and why? Were there any offsite hotels that you would not stay at again? Answers posted to the list: I always stay at the Candy Cane Inn. I LOVE it there. They have the greatest continental (free!!!) breakfast poolside! Rooms are nice. I want to go there now! heh rAIn ----- We have stayed at the Park Place Inn twice and were very pleased with the hotel. It is close, just across the street. The rooms were clean and spacey. There were 4 of us so that may not be a good gauge of space! The price was well over 400.00 less than an on site hotel. We have stayed at the Disneyland hotel several times in the past and found that the Park Place Inn was closer to the entrance of the park than the Disneyland Hotel. We got all the same benefits such as early admission, etc. So it is a good alternative. Donna ----- We have now stayed at the Howard Johnson several times in the last few years and we love it. It is about a block away--we have no problem with the walk--and they have high speed internet in every room that is included in the price. We normally take two laptops with us (my husband is a geek for a living) and have never paid more than $85 a night. Our four-year old loves the pool and we always request a room looking at the pool. The only thing I didn't like was that the two-story buildings don't have elevators to the second floor--only stairs. Wendy ----- I would not recommend Days Inn. It was very dirty when we were there. Susie ----- I have stayed at a couple places in Anaheim, and I have to say that my best experience was at the Tropicana. It is directly across from the Resort,as in 2 min walk. You could watch the monorail from the hotub, and space was visible too. It came with free breakfast and the pool area was not bad. We paid less than 70 bucks a night, you just have to find a travel agent you can barter with! Me and my husband stayed for 10 days for 800 dollars canadian for both of us. I managed to get them down to 500 CDN for beginning of september this year for 7 days. FYI, generally the hotels directly in front of the park, aren't really much more than the ones that you have to take a shuttle from, in fact some of the ones further away sometimes are more, depending on where you stay. That and I love the feeling of waking up in the morning and pretty much I could walk there in my pajamas and bare feet! The only thing between me and Disneyland is a cross walk! Love that. And there is no way I can afford to stay in the Resort Hotels, so this as good as it gets. Also, a neat thing I discovered due to the fact Disneyland was so close, was you can get 1 hour free passes into the park if you buy something while in there. It's a called a shopping pass. You can do it for both DL and DCA. I was so close that walking across the street on the days I wasn't planning to go, for just an hour in the park, was worth it. You can catch a parade or go on a ride, buy something and leave. Just to get a little DL into your day if you are planning on going to the beach that day or shopping. But this is only really worth it if you can walk to DL from your hotel, other wise you have to take the bus there, go for an hour and come back. Ok well, this has gotten long! Time to go! Melissa ----- We like the Candy Cane Inn - clean large tastefully decorated rooms, a nice pool and free breakfast. Bryan ----- Candy Cane Inn. We like the reasonable price, clean rooms, and proximity to DL. A pretty good continental breakfast is included also. It is not fancy, but fine for us. Friendly helpful staff. They also have their own shuttle bus. We found that some of the hotels share shuttle buses with other hotels, and hated the crowding and having to stop at every other hotel along the way.
