Do you know how much parking is ? Also if they have a shuttle ? And is the breakfast better then Candy cane inn ?

@@autumn2156 They don’t have a shuttle. You won’t need it. It’s that close to the park. It’s actually a shorter walk to Disneyland from this hotel than from the actual Disneyland hotel. Parking, I’m not sure on costs anymore. Their website should have that info. And Candy Cane’s breakfast is definitely better than here. Candy Cane has a shuttle because it’s a little further away, but Best Western you can see the entrance sign from the hotel.

Thanks for this video. I love staying in the Hotels close to Disneyland. Super practical when you travel with kids😊

We love this hotel! Great review; our family agrees. We were just here last February. The breakfast was an unexpected surprise at how great it was.

We stayed a little further away just last night and found ourselves wishing we’d stayed at the Best Western again. It’s a solid option!

I have a room booked here for the first week in December and I can't wait! I went to Disneyland for the first time last year and I stayed at the Anaheim and really loved it BUT my feet hurt so, so bad at the end of every night that even that short walk to the hotel left me in a lot of pain. The idea of being able to walk directly across the street and be done (and the ease of being able to take a nap in the middle of the day if needed) convinced me to give the Best Western a try.

It was excellent for that for sure! I was so impressed with how close it was at the end of the night. I mean, I knew it was close. Had walked it in the afternoon. But after a long day in the park, it was definitely worth it to be that close.

I was sooo excited to see this review video since we are planning to stay there when we go in November. Originally I had booked the Howard Johnson with the water play area but then realized it would be too cold for our kids to play in the water anyways. Thanks for the review and for verifying that this will very likely be a great fit for our family :)

The HoJo is great, but November is risky. It can go either way. We can still have 80 degree days, but it might be colder. So Best Western is a safer bet if the pool isn't an issue.

Can you take breakfast items back to your room? We are coming from New Zealand in December and are booked to stay 19-25 December. Unfortunately couldn’t get the room you have as they sold out quick for those dates. Have a King bed with sofa bed for me and two teen boys - ages 15 and 17.

Yes! You should be able to take items from breakfast with you. We always stock up on cereal before we leave and put them in a throw away coffee cup and use them for munchies in the park.

Hey, I've stayed there, most recently in late 2021. I'll watch the video in a bit but I'll comment now so I'm not influenced... location can't be beat of course. Parking was a bit marginal. Front desk people were friendly. Room was dated but OK. They know with their location they don't have to really do anything special. But man, walking back after you've closed out the park makes it all worthwhile.

Exercise is good for well being.

The only things that were good about this location was how close it was and the fact that breakfast was free. It was not very clean, and had water damage all over the bathroom and the blankets were really rough & starchy. I would not stay here if you like having a decent quality room.

I would call and ask. If I recall, we didn’t check in until 3 PM. I had to park in the Disney parking garage and move the car at check in. Usually we like to check in early at 7 AM even if the hotel room isn’t available yet. I think they have such limited parking that they don’t have room for early check ins if I remember right.

How do you compare BW Plus Anaheim inn with this hotel in terms of the room look, break fast quality, clean and the entire atmosphere ?

@SoCalDisneyDad

9 ай бұрын

I mean, it’s a really basic hotel with not the greatest appearance. The things it has going for it are proximity (which is AMAZING when returning to your hotel at midnight) and free breakfast which is a huge perk considering most hotels don’t offer that.

how about from that hotel to the adventure park? is it far from the main entrance?

@SoCalDisneyDad

Жыл бұрын

They are the same distance. The two parks are right next to each other. You can see both entrances from the esplanade (area right after security). They are about a minute walk apart (the two parks), but the same distance from the hotel.

Any chance that you’ll review the Best Western Plus Anaheim Inn?

It’s about $300/night as are most of the hotels in that general proximity. We’ve stayed at and reviewed the Grand Legacy at the Park, Howard Johnson, and Fairfield by Marriott. They’re all in that first “block” on the other side of the street from the entrance and all around $300/night.

Around $300/night. Prices vary by day and season.

Horrible hotel if you have anyone with a wheelchair or mobility aids. We just finished a week here and one working elevator (the other has been apparently has been broken for at least 8 months). We made it very clear from booking I have a 9 year old in a wheelchair, they failed to mention continental breakfast is not wheelchair accessible as it’s on the second floor next door, so we had them bring it via room service, Which meant it was cold and soggy. They also refused to move us from our third floor room and the dated hallways are extremely hard to navigate with a wheelchair. The front desk staff was horribly rude and everything I mentioned (including the dead slug in the elevator light) was a huge inconvenience.
