Hotels near Disneyland within walking distance

A list of the closest hotels to Disneyland including the walking time for each – plus honest reviews from our Disneyland Facebook group

Finding a hotel for the family to stay in during your Disneyland vacation is sometimes like finding a needle in a haystack. We usually start off searching according to our priorities – location, food, pool… but sometimes it can be really hard to find the hotel that ticks all your boxes. Not to mention in the price range you want!

Most of all we want to know if that Disney hotel really is as good as they say it is – but who do you believe when it comes to reviews? Are they real reviews by real people?

Luckily, my Disneyland California Holiday Planning Facebook Group is packed full of real Disneyland Park frequent visitors who aren’t afraid to tell it like it is about the hotels surrounding Disneyland!

Here you’ll find our Disneyland Facebook group member’s hotel experiences, reviews and comments all gathered together for each hotel – so you can make a more informed choice about where you’ll be spending your precious Disney accommodation money!

So, without further ado, here is a comprehensive list of the hotels within walking distance of Disneyland California.

Disneyland surrounding accommodation and hotels FAQs…

Which are the closest hotels to Disneyland?

The following hotels are closer to the park turnstiles than the Disneyland Hotel, and are a few minutes walk across the road:

About the 3 Disneyland Official Park Hotels

Disneyland Hotel
Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa
Pixar Place Hotel

The 3 official hotels are great if you plan to spend a lot of time at the resorts, in the pools, dining there, etc. Otherwise, the 30 minutes of early entry alone really isn’t worth the extra cost.

Official Disney hotel or hotel across the street?

The properties across the street are a very short walk but are not comparable to the Disney properties really in any way, especially to DLH and GCH. Across the street they are lower end motel-style properties with few amenities.

The Disney properties are full on resorts, with significantly bigger and better pools, multiple restaurants and bars, shops, their own security entrances and early entry, valet and concierge services, etc. People who spend down time at the resorts generally feel that the extra cost is worth it to not leave the Disney “bubble.”

People who simply need a place to sleep at night are very happy to save the money and stay across the street

Which is the best hotel to watch the Disneyland fireworks?

We stayed at the Suncoast and stayed in a regular double queen suite, room 340 and had an amazing view each night. We did not stay in the more expensive room that you pay extra for to see the fireworks.

Desert inn and suites they have a viewing deck on the roof

we stayed at the desert inn last week and had an amazing view from our room

Light sleeper? Hotels with highway noise issues

Element – You can definitely hear the freeway if you’re on that (the freeway) side.

if road noise is an issue for you you’ll also want to avoid some of the newer hotels along Katella Ave (Hyatt House, Springhill Suites, Residence Inn, etc), unless you get a room facing south. But then you can’t see the parks.

Larger family accommodation

For larger suite-type rooms that might fit all of you but are a little closer, you might also check out (Springhill Suites) and Hyatt House

Alamo Inn and Suites reviews

There is the Alamo that is older less expensive and doesn’t charge for a vehicle. It is right at the end of the parking lot for Downtown Disney.

We stayed at Alamo inns and suites, 10/15 minute walk. Lovely room and staff. We could see the parks from our room.

Alpine Inn Anaheim

Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 10 minutes

Alpine Inn Anaheim reviews

We stayed at Alpine Inn recently for about $150/night and it was basic but nice and clean and about a 10 minute walk to the entrance. We would stay again especially if we planned to be in the park most of the time!

America’s Best Value Anaheim Astoria Inn & Suites

Maps estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 19 minutes
Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: “…not too far of a walk“

Astoria Inn & Suites reviews

hello! we did end up staying there and even doe the hotel wasnt the prettiest, it was what we needed, we went to the walmart nearby( yes we walked ) and managed to save money buying snacks and food for not only disney but in the hotel and we did walk to disney everytime! it wasnt too far at all. i think if u can get it for a cheap price its totally worth it:) considering its just a place to hold ur items and sleep at night

Astoria Inn & suites, not too far of a walk to Disney & Walmart is a bit up the road 

Anaheim Desert Inn and Suites

Maps estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 7 minutes
Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 5 minutes

Anaheim Desert Inn and Suites reviews

Anaheim Desert Inn is across the road from the main entrance. Also has a viewing deck for fireworks. Don’t think it’s fancy – has a continental breakfast included but also a great price. Location is everything.

We always stay across from the Disneyland Bus Station at The Anaheim Hotel. Just a 5 minute walk into the bus depot and the entrance to Disneyland . We travel from New Zealand and always stay there. It’s close for me to go back to the hotel for a nap during the day lol

Another vote for the Anaheim hotel across the road from the parks. Very easy 5 minute walk – super convenient, we just came back from there and would head to the park in the day, come back to the hotel about 4ish for the kids to have a breather and then walk back to the park in the early evening to continue on. Super close and very convenient

Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 25 minutes

Best Western Courtesy Inn Hotel reviews

It’s probably a 15-20 minute walk – down a busy street – to the security entrance at Downtown Disney. From there, once you’ve cleared security it’s another 10 min to the actual park entrance

Second closest Best Western hotel to Disneyland entrance

Best Western Plus Park Place Inn & Mini Suites Anaheim

Maps estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 6 minutes
Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: “right across the road“

Best Western Plus Park Place Inn & Mini Suites reviews

We are from Isle of Man and did a trip.in December. We stayed at the Best Western Plus park place which was great! Large rooms and so easy to walk and did 3 days with park hopper and LL multi pass and was perfect. We are 2 adults

There is also the best western park place which do queen rooms with sofa bed. This is right across the road from the park walkway and Camelot.

Best western in front of Disneyland

Best Western Plus Stovalls Inn

Maps estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: minutes
Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 10 minutes

Best Western Plus Stovalls Inn reviews

The Best Western Stovalls inn or pavilions. (Stovalls is a bit nicer) (but with the pavilions the breakfast you get included is for Denny’s next door which is also quite handy! )

Best Western Plus Stovalls Inn,right across from the Adventure Park, about a 10 min safe to downtown disney, breakfast, clean and comfortable, pool, washing facilities

Stovalls best western plus directly opposite Disneyland and a nice hotel to stay at

We stayed at the Best Western Stovells and it was great. Breakfast included was amazing.

Stovells best western plus directly opposite Disneyland free breakfast pool it’s great

We stayed at Best Western Stovall.. just great across the street from Disney..breakfast was included,rooms cleaned daily. Stayed there last month highly recommended

Best western Stovalls Inn was great

BW Stovall is a super easy walk. We stay at the Westin right across the street all the time.

You just go right up Disneyland Dr and enter security in front of the Disneyland Hotel. It’s a very safe, very nicely landscaped walk. There will be plenty of people doing the walk at all times of day. Including cast members who park nearby.

On your way home from the parks you can cut through the Grand Californian to cut off some steps. You can’t go in that way in the morning if you’re not a guest, but it’s easy at night.

Best Western Stovall Negatives

the beds are very small though

Candy Cane Inn

Maps estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 12 minutes
Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 5 minutes

Candy Cane Inn reviews

Enjoyed the Candy Cane Inn a few years ago. Literally occupies the southeast corner in the block mostly filled by DCA, and a pretty easy walk to the gate (without needing to cross Harbour Blvd). There are closer places along the road, but I haven’t tried them

We just stayed at Candy Cane Inn and loved it.

Candy Cane is smaller, mom and pop operated, and newly renovated.

We just stayed at the candy cane inn which is on the same side of the street as Disneyland and it was great, comfy beds, breakfast was very good and many options. It’s motel style so you don’t have to wait on elevators etc. They also offer a shuttle every hour

Candy Cane inn is super close and really nice.

We LOVE Candy Cane Inn. We are just trying for a little closer and less expensive. However, we all loved the breakfast, the friendly staff, the newly renovated rooms

We just checked out of Candy Cane Inn today and I would highly recommend it. 5 minute walk to Disneyland and the hotel is beautiful, clean and staff super friendly. Breakfast and parking included. You can see the back side of Radiator Springs from the hotel, that’s how close you are.

Candy Cane Inn Negatives

Unfortunately, that’s 970$ for the 3 nights so too much for us! (March 2025)

Castle Inn and Suites Anaheim

Maps estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 12 minutes
Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: “Super easy walk“

Castle Inn and Suites Anaheim reviews

It’s a pretty basic hotel, although I think at least partially renovated in the last couple years. Super easy walk, and also a couple random places to eat right next door. The best part are the owners – it’s family owned and they’re super nice people. Usually really good customer service there.

Castle Inn and Suites Anaheim Negatives

There would have to be some major improvements before I stayed there again. There was one morning we didn’t even have hot water!

Courtyard Anaheim Theme Park Entrance reviews

We stayed near the HoJo (Howard Johnson), at the Courtyard by Marriott Anaheim Theme Park Entrance. My kids were 5 & 8 and the walk was no problem, even after the fireworks

Courtyard by marriott would be awesome for them but its a bit more expensive (than Howard Johnson)

Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa

Maps estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 17 minutes
Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 5 minutes

Disney Grand Californian reviews

if cost doesn’t matter I would 100% stay at the Grand Californian. If that’s a little too pricey I’d drop down to the Disneyland Hotel. Those would be the best overall experience.

The Grand Californian is the closest in the resort area, and reflects in its price with convenience and beauty.

we’ve randomly had Donald (Duck) walk into the lobby at GCH

Disneyland Hotel

Maps estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 12 minutes
Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: “you walk across a pedestrian street and right into downtown Disney“

Disneyland Hotel reviews

If that’s (Grand Californian) a little too pricey I’d drop down to the Disneyland Hotel. Those would be the best overall experience.

Disneyland hotel is nicer in terms of amenities like restaurants and bars and pool.

DLH you walk across a pedestrian street and right into downtown Disney.

When we were there in December we saw all the characters randomly I the lobby next to Goofy’s kitchen

Element Anaheim Resort Convention Center Hotel

Maps estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 19 minutes
Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 10 minutes

Element Anaheim Resort Convention Center Hotel reviews

Element Hotel, walking distance (11 mins/0.9km) and amazing breakfast. The rooms have a dishwasher and cooker top. Some rooms also have theme park views so you can watch the fireworks at night.

it took us about 8 minutes walk

I like the Element just fine – big comfy rooms and a good breakfast. But I’d probably take that extra money and spend it on snacks and merch in the parks instead.

Stayed at Element in December. It is a great hotel and the rooms are very spacious

We stayed at Element from April 13-15 and loved the spacious rooms. We were upgraded to a room with a king bed, 2 bunk beds, a couch, and a kitchenette with a microwave and utensils. It was only a 10-minute walk to California Adventure and Disneyland.

We stayed at the Element and loved it, the hotel is spotless, the breakfast is amazing, free cheese and wine mon to thurs, some rooms with fireworks views and the pool was like a bath, we were there in winter, also it was an easy walk to the park. We would 100% stay at the Element again, also family of 5, 3 big kids, 21,18 and 15.

you could hear the road noise at the pool but it wasn’t too bad. We couldn’t hear any road noise from our room (not freeway side). I’m a really light sleeper, I can’t have a room at a lift shaft or doors etc and I slept great at the Element. You will love it. we were on the other side from the motorway the rooms with the parks views.

Element Anaheim Resort Convention Center Hotel Negatives

You can definitely hear the freeway if you’re on that side. I’m a fairly light sleeper and hated it. But, the park view rooms all face due west into the park and are much quieter, so when we stay there – and we do, bc it’s quite nice – we only do park view.

The Element is a nice Hotel but is a bit of A walk to the parks. It also doesn’t have a spa pool but the included breakfast is good.

Embassy Suites by Hilton Anaheim South

Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: ART Bus stops at hotel

Embassy Suites by Hilton Garden Grove Anaheim reviews

Embassy Suites Garden Grove South, they had 3 laundry rooms.

We stayed at Embassy Suites Garden Grove South and there was lots of reasonably priced eateries close by. Bucca di Beppo had huge portions and Joe’s crab shack is always a good option. Target nearby too.

Fairfield Anaheim Resort

Maps estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 11 minutes
Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: “Almost opposite the entrance“

Fairfield Anaheim Resort reviews

We are at Fairfield right now. We stayed at Disneyland hotel earlier this month. This was is actually faster than Disneyland hotel.

Almost opposite the entrance and just as close as the Disney hotels.

We stayed at the Fairfield. McDonald’s and Panera in the parking lot.

The best view of fireworks is probably from the Fairfield Anaheim Resort. It’s a high rise building, has exterior walkways where people can stand and watch on every floor even if your actual room doesn’t face the parks, and it’s one of the absolute closest hotels to where the fireworks actually launch.

All that said, I wouldn’t pick a hotel for that reason – if you’re concerned about not making it to the end of the night I’d just pick something close where you can take a midday break and then go back in the evening to watch the nighttime shows from inside the park.

Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim

Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim reviews

We stayed at Four Points by Sheraton Anaheim…..it was a very easy 10-15 min walk to Disney

We stayed at Sheraton Anaheim took about 15 minutes to walk to the park

Four Points by Sheraton was affordable, close and well taken care of.

Grand Legacy At The Park Hotel

Maps estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 8 minutes
Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 5 minutes

Grand Legacy At The Park reviews

We did three days (2 at Disneyland and 1 in DCA) and stayed at grand legacy at the park. I highly recommend the hotel. You just cross the street and you are at the parks. We loved going back in the hot afternoon for a swim and then head back to the parks when it got cooler.

Almost opposite the entrance and just as close as the Disney hotels.

Grand Legacy is a 5 min walk from the park, was affordable and the facilities were great. The room are small but you are only there to sleep! We are a family of 5 too. It was great to be close to the park

Homewood Suites By Hilton Anaheim maingate reviews

We stayed at Hilton Maingate resort! It was an apartment style but they had a communal laundry! But never had an issues

Not sure if it’s your walking distance, but for us, Homewood Suites by Hilton Maingate, breakfast included, kitchenette, separate living and bedroom rooms with TVs, pool and hot tub, Aud $209, USD cheaper. (April 2025)

Also the Main Gate 6 Anaheim is good and really affordable, also close walk to DL.

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel and Water Playground

Maps estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 11 minutes
Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 8-10 minutes

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel reviews

The Howard Johnson is around an 8 minute walk to the security entrance of Disneyland. It’s a great option and is across the road from the parks, close to lots of places to eat too. Can highly recommend (stayed there in November and walked back in the dark as a group of females and felt safe).

The Hojo is just a 10 min walk to security. There are closer properties but lower end motel types. The Hojo was recently renovated and has a great water park. If you’re doing any rest days between park days it’s great for kids.

We stayed there last November and it’s around an 8 minute walk. If you cross over the road (not Harbour Blvd) and walk through the Marriott car park it’s quick.

We stayed at the Howard Johnston probably 10-15 min walk, not far at all.

We stayed there and the walk was fine me and my 9 year old

It is a nice walk

Staying at Howard Johnston now with 3 kids and honestly the walk is 7-10 mins. Hardly anything at all. I would def stay here again

Howard Johnson is a very manageable walk to Disney we were there last year and no complaints from my sons walking youngest was 7 

Hojo is a bigger property. also has some – but not all – newly renovated rooms, and a fun water park

If you’re going in warm weather and would have a day or afternoon at the hotel taking breaks, I’d go with Hojo. 

10 minutes tops

My 3 and 4 year old walked just fine to Disney from the hojo. And they loved stopping at McDonald’s on the way back.

Howard Johnson- nice walk and grab coffee/smoothies from McDonald’s on the way.

10 mins walk to the gate, I have a lazy kid and it was fine 

We were just at the Howard Johnson. It was great the walk wasn’t too far and we had our 3 year old with us. The room we had was great and spacious there were 5 of us and the water park was good too.

We stayed at the Howard Johnson in November, it wasn’t really a long walk at all. Would absolutely stay there again, super clean and friendly staff.

It’s not a long walk at all! Stayed there before and booked there again for July.

This hotel isn’t far at all from Disney have stayed twice 

HoJo is 8 mins to the security entrance at Disneyland. It’s a really straight walk down one road and easy to do.

Last month we stayed at the Howard Johnson which was 8mins walk to Disneyland and we walked to Walmart which was about 20mins walk. We just did a big shop so we only had to do it once.

It’s not a far walk 

 we stayed there 2 years ago and took us max 15 minutes! Even with a 5 year old at the time it was easy 

My kids coped fine with ho Jo walk

Howard johnson is awesome.

Only stayed the once but we really liked the Howard Johnson. Great having splash park and regular pool and the walk to the gates is maybe 10 mins max

I would do Howard Johnson for the water park and proximity to the Disneyland parks

Howard Johnston but I don’t think they do breakfast but there is a few restaurants you pass on the way. Has a splash park. Walk isn’t far and you can see fireworks show from your hotel if your baby is sleeping and can’t last that late. Not sure they have a shuttle though. Also not sure on price.

just back from HOJO. $255 a night plus taxes and a $25 fee for a roll away cot. No breakfast. Great pools and a 10 ish min walk (April 2025)

there’s a little store there too! We bought some cereals to have for breaky

Howard Johnson had a laundry room

If we’re talking one of the renovated rooms at Hojo, then great option. If you plan to have downtime at the pool, the Hojo has a great pool and water park

We stayed at Howard Johson. Comfortable, under 10 mins walk.

I can recommend the Howard Johnson. Easy 8 minute walk to parks, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Comfy bed, safe, fridge, coffee maker, microwave. Just make sure you go for a newly refurbished room.

Refurbished rooms in Bld 1 & 2

We stayed at Howard Johnson. Good rooms spacious. Pool open late. Comfy beds. Double queen beds

We stayed at Howard Johnson! Loved it, location was great and rooms were spacious and clean

Howard Johnson has a sweet water park & is literally across the street from the main entrance

Howard Johnson Negatives

First time in 2013 was fantastic went again last year and was not impressed- there was no AC and we had a bed bug scare. . Hotel was really good about it all, if you do stay here make sure the travel agent books the “deluxe” more expensive room buildings near the pool (these ones have elevators the basic ones don’t)

HoJo is farther than I like to walk after a long day

All the people saying it’s not far, less than 10 minute walk…I’m with the OP, at the end of a 12 hour day being in your feet all day at Disneyland, another 10 mins is torture.

Howard Johnson is a good hotel but after a big day at Disneyland you don’t feel like rhe walk up the slight hill.

Kings Inn Anaheim reviews

We stayed at Kings Inn and it was perfect for us. Close to the parks (10-15 min walk), had a Walgreens more or less opposite and other good food options nearby for when we didn’t want to eat in the parks.

Stayed at Kings Inn recently and was super close.

The kings inn. Budget, walking distance

Recently stayed at Kings Inn and it was great – 10ish mins walk but super easy

We like kings inn, it’s about a 10 min walk and it clean and well Maintained and not expensive

the garden walk is next door which has a bunch of restaurants

The Kings Inn, i have stayed before, clean, nice hotel staff and a 10 min walk to Disneyland.

Only downside was no bathtub if that’s a need!

No breakfast – the garden walk is next door which has a bunch of restaurants

Pixar Place Hotel

Maps estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: 13 minutes
Guest estimated Hotel to Disneyland front entrance walk time: “Easy short stroll into downtown Disney“

Disney Pixar Place Hotel reviews

We stayed at the Pixar Place and had a really lovely time. Such a cute hotel and clean. Easy short stroll into downtown Disney and can catch the monorail into Disneyland.

Best onsite is Pixar Place! Large rooms, themed, splash pad, waterslide, pool, outdoor viewing with fire pits for fireworks.

I agree Pixar if on site. We stayed at the grand as well. But Pixar was amazing for our large family.

But Pixar is a new renovation so the rooms are nice and fresh, albeit smaller. PP it’s fastest to just walk across Disneyland Drive (long light, tons of people crossing) to either go through the Grand to DTD or DL, or through the private entry into DCA

If you want to stay on site I’ve heard Pixar hotel is the best on site cost wise.

We love it!! We stayed this past September with my family of 7. We enjoyed being close to the parks the pool!! But it just depends on your budget. We are staying there in November with my parents. With my parents my dad needs a scooter and it makes so much easier for us to access everything for him.

Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort

Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort reviews

we had a 4 day hopper park ticket and stayed at Sheraton Park Hotel, perfect location for the park about 10 minutes from parks with a lovely pool area and rooms are fantastic with a view of the parks- you can watch the fireworks from your balcony! the area is lovely with lots of restaurants close by and mostly everything as walking distance.
Definitely have a look at the hotel it really was a great location and the rooms were super modern and clean.

Sheraton is a bit further down the road (from the entrance to Disneyland), probably a 15 min walk but if you cross the road you can use the shuttles in the Toy Story parking lot for free!

I have stayed there every trip (5) and found it a pleasant walk also

Not far from park can see the guardians of galaxy from hotel

Springhill Suites At Anaheim Resort Convention Center reviews

Springhill suites – Resort convention center location.

We are at Springhill Suites at convention centre and my 4yr old managed the walk to the parks…

Looks like a similar distance from Howard Johnson

We stayed at Springhill suites near convention centre and could see the fireworks from the roof

For larger suite-type rooms that might fit all of you but are a little closer, you might also check out Springhill Suites

We’ve been at Springhill all week. It’s a nice Springhill. Close walk to the parks (like 15 mins). Breakfast is not a great selection. The pool is small. The price per night plus $30/night parking isn’t great. But can’t complain for what we’ve paid. We’ve used uber a lot to get home from the parks and it’s like $5

Suncoast Park Hotel Anaheim Resort reviews

Suncoast was great! Could see the ferris wheel from our room!

We’ve booked the sun coast Hilton – according to reports it’s about a 15min walk away and you can see the fireworks from there. For us as a party of four it was also reasonably priced.

We stayed at the Suncoast and stayed in a regular double queen suite, room 340 and had an amazing view each night. We did not stay in the more expensive room that you pay extra for to see the fireworks.

The Viv Hotel Anaheim reviews

We stayed there and had a park view room on the second highest floor and the fireworks was awsome.

We stayed at the Viv. Loved it. Drove and parked to the parks each day but they have a bus or a 20minute walk. Great place for families to stay

The Westin Anaheim Resort reviews

Currently at the Westin Anaheim resort: 10 minutes to security walking (and I’m a slow walker!). Would recommend it & would stay there again.

We couldn’t fault the Westin!

The best 2 off property hotels are the Westin (and the JW Marriott) and will be a fair amount less expensive than the 2 above (Disney Grand Californian and Disneyland Hotel)

Wyndham Anaheim reviews

Have just got back from staying at Wyndham Anaheim & had a fabulous stay. Didn’t have a car but was offered a car park if we decided to hire one. We did a shop & made our own quick breakfasts on park days &/or grabbed something from the Starbucks down in the foyer. They had potties of cereal & yoghurt which a couple of times I ate on route to the park. The staff were fabulous & went out of their way to know our names & couldn’t do enough for us. The hotel has a bus stop literally right outside that takes u to the park or the free Toy Story bus was right across the road from the hotel that u could walk to. Great location with the garden city walk being next door. We would most definitely stay there again.

Accommodation: Wyndham Anaheim – 2 double beds + cot for our daughter. Great location, 10-minute walk to the parks (very stroller friendly route). Optional breakfast (we ate at the parks). Close to Walgreens, CVS, pizza places, IHOP, Denny’s, and Cheesecake Factory – super convenient with a toddler. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Wyndham Anaheim Negatives

Wyndham Anaheim is currently top in my list. Only sad part was the higher cost and no breakfast.
