Is The Anaheim Hotel Disneyland's BEST Good Neighbor Hotel?

After DOZENS of you recommended The Anaheim Hotel to us, we finally stayed there and here's what we thought.
First impressions? The Anaheim Hotel is impressive, clean, modern, and a fantastic hotel near Disneyland to stay during your vacation.
Unfortunately, it was a dreary and cold day, so we didn't get to enjoy the HUGE patio space outside our room or their massive pool (besides the hot tub). But their facilities look phenomenal and I highly recommend The Anaheim Hotel.
The sleep was fine--average at best--because the bed wasn't all that great, but everything else was fantastic.
No free parking or free breakfast. That was the only real bummer, but it's pretty standard for Anaheim hotels so it doesn't really work as a mark against it.
I'd stay here again no problems!

Thanks so much for your videos! You guys are priceless! For our trip in March 2024 it was a choice between The Anaheim and Candy Cane. We went with Candy Cane for five nights because of the included breakfast and parking and it was wonderful, the Anaheim looks great too! We've been back home for 2 weeks and we're still watching your videos! 😃 Cheers!

Thanks for the review. I was considering this hotel for my next Disneyland trip, and your video helped me with my decision. One small recommendation I'd make to improve your videos is to try to look into the camera more frequently instead of the screen so it doesn't appear that you're looking off to the side. It looks like you were trying to do that in the beginning though.

We stayed here at The Anaheim Hotel last week, during the atmospheric river! The staff is extremely kind and professional. After a stressful drive through the rain and morning rush hour traffic we were able to check in and go right to our room. First floor with a patio. It was really relaxing and so convenient to the park.

The Anaheim is an older hotel, a few years younger than Disneyland itself. I've come across similar roomspace architecture in Hawaii, Texas, Pennsylvania, and a bunch of other places...the build is solid and adaptable -- it was built by guys who were building schools, offices, apartments, and homes after the war. It should last and stand pretty much forever as long as they maintain it. 🙂

Hi! Thanks for all your videos. Currently torn between this hotel and the Howard Johnson. I’ve seen both of your videos and can’t decide bc both look great. I also have 2 boys so I’m looking for kid friendly and a close walk for a mid afternoon break from the parks.

@SoCalDisneyDad 11 ай бұрын

Both are about the same distance away too. The main benefit of the HoJo is the water playground. If you think you’d use that, definitely go there. If not, then go based on price? You can’t go wrong either way. Though I think the HoJo has slightly nicer rooms.

@highdeema 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for the fast reply! Yes, the rooms at hojo look nicer, but, the anaheim hotel looks like they have a better swimming pool and outdoor area to lounge. Hojo is about a $75 difference for 3 nights compared to anaheim hotel. Which one would you go with?

First time trip to Disneyland and am trying to decide on a hotel. So far I've narrowed it down to the Anaheim and Candy Cand Inn leaning more towards the Candy Cane Inn. They haven't opened up bookings for 2024 yet but I'm imagining these places book pretty quick when they do open up bookings??

@SoCalDisneyDad 11 ай бұрын

Candy Cane does as it’s fairly popular. I’ve heard of people struggling to book there. Anaheim Hotel, I booked like 2 weeks before going. But it was beginning of June and a bit off season. If you have your eye on a particular hotel, then I’d book as soon as the site lets you just to be safe and have that off your mind.

On your checkout day, did they allow you to park in the hotel parking lot while you were at DL for the day or did you pay for an extra parking day fee?

I believe we had to pay for the extra day. Yes. It technically would have been cheaper for us to park at the Disney garage (it’s free with my pass level). But we kept our luggage with bell services so I just paid the $20 to extend.

Hi great review thanks! We are staying there next month. Just a question please on that early check in. Is that something you requested?

But if there is a cheaper option then might look at it. Toddler with a skipped nap time can be a menace on the rest of the trip lol! Please and thanks if you happen to see this.

Do you have any experience taking Ubers to/from the parks? I’m betting I won’t want to make that walk at the end of a long day! They have a shuttle from the Marriott too, which may be an option but I don’t know it would be ideal to take a shuttle for rope dropping? Sorry, I have about a million questions and no Disney friends. Right now you’re my best Disney friend. 😄
