Thinking Outside The Park: Anaheim Hotels
When planning any trip, deciding where to stay can be a fairly difficult decision. Planning a trip to Disneyland is no different. One of the main decisions that typically comes up, is deciding if you are going to stay on-resort, or if you are going to stay at an Anaheim Hotel.
There are a lot of people that stay exclusively at Disneyland Resort Hotels, and there are others that exclusively at Good Neighbor Hotels.
Personally, I have taken many trips to Disney parks, and I have stayed off resort more than I have stayed on-resort. I’ve always had a good time, and have never stayed at the same hotel twice.

Take-Aways
There are a lot of different hotels throughout Anaheim, giving a variety of different options to stay at for your vacation.
Throughout all of my hotel stays in Anaheim, I definitely have some favorite hotels that I would go back to in a heartbeat. On the flip side, there are some other hotels that I’m fine with just visiting once.
If you are looking to stay at a Disneyland Resort Hotel for your Disneyland trip, then you can check out this other post on Disneyland Resort Hotels (coming soon!).
This post is going to specifically cover the Good Neighbor hotels of Disneyland in Anaheim. So keep in mind that there are other hotels in Anaheim that aren’t listed here. These are solely those hotels that have that ‘Good Neighbor Hotel’ Disney snap.
Without further ado let’s get started with what makes a Good Neighbor Hotel…
What Makes A Good Neighbor Hotel?
So you may be wondering what a “Good Neighbor Hotel” is, which if you aren’t familiar with Disney jargon it is totally understandable.
Essentially a “Good Neighbor Hotel” is a hotel around Disneyland Park, that has an agreement or partnership with Disney.
When you book a Good Neighbor Hotel (either through Disney’s site or through a Travel Agent), you are able to also purchase your Disneyland tickets together. By doing it this way, it makes it a full package, and a lot easier to manage in case something comes up.
Often in doing so, the hotel gives special discounts that it wouldn’t offer normal guests, or if you book directly through their site.
Some of these types of discounts could be free breakfast, a stay for 3 nights and get the 4th free, or even magical morning access.
Please note that the only thing that I haven’t listed with each hotel is the Good Neighbor Hotel Perks that the hotels offer. These offerings can change at any time, and some hotels might not currently be having those perks due to the pandemic. So it didn’t seem right to list them when it could be inaccurate information.
It really depends on the hotel and the type of deal that they are currently promoting. Keep in mind that they can change until you actually book the hotel for your trip.
Some hotel lobbies even sell park tickets and have a cast member to help with your trip.
However this was pre-pandemic, so I am pretty sure that this isn’t an option as park reservations are also required to visit the parks now. This could change if the world gets back to a different place, but we shall see.
Staying at a Good Neighbor Hotel, and taking advantage of one of their deals could be a great way to visit Disneyland and save a bit of money. Plus these deals you can get when you book with your friendly travel agent too (shameless plug for my travel business).
Many of the Good Neighbor Hotels are within walking distance to Disneyland, and/or offer a type of shuttle or bus service to get you to and from the parks (sometimes for a fee).
How Many Good Neighbor Hotels Are There?
According to Disneyland’s website, there are about 57 different Good Neighbor hotels!
This gives you a lot of different options on where to stay, which is great! It is great because it means regardless of your budget, there is a hotel that should work for your trip!
To help make deciding where to stay easier, I have listed a complete list of all the Good Neighbor Hotels for Disneyland.
They are listed by distance from the park, with the ones being closest to Disneyland first.
The idea behind listing them by location is so that if you are just looking to do a Disney trip, you can find a hotel close to the parks.
And if you are looking to see other things in Anaheim or in Southern California, it might be beneficial to stay at a park a little bit further away from the parks.
Along with the distance from the park, I have included the hotel category, hotel perks, room amenities, parking information, as well as check-in and check-out time.
As all of those things should be considered when trying to decide where to stay.
But first, I have listed the different hotels where I have personally stayed to give some personal perspective of where I’ve gone. Because I will be honest, I haven’t stayed at all the Good Neighbor Hotels in Anaheim. But I can really recommend the ones that I have been to.
Where I have Stayed
Over the years I have stayed at quite a few different hotels. For me proximity to the parks is important.
These are the Anaheim hotels that I have stayed at, that are close to Disneyland, and are classified as Good Neighbor Hotels. These hotels are reasonably priced, and what I would consider within walking distance to the parks.
Keep in mind, with all of my trips, I am splitting the cost between myself and at least 1 other adult. When I travel with friends (as a group) the hotel costs are getting split among 4 adults. This is a great way to cut down on costs.
With that information, what I might consider a reasonably priced hotel might be different than what you would consider a reasonably priced hotel.
These hotels are also listed in no particular order, just the order that I remembered them in.
The Anaheim Hotel
Located within walking distance to Disneyland, this is a great little spot to stay. It is just down the street from the S. Harbor Disney District entrance.
The South Harbor Disney District Entrance is usually where all the busses and shuttles do drop off and pick up.
It is considered right across the street from the parks, and it would be correct. From the front lobby, you can look across the street and see the Guardians of the Galaxy ride.
Additionally, there is a pretty decent pizza place, called The Pizza Press located right next door to the hotel. In fact, the pizza place is connected to the lobby of the hotel, which is super convenient.
I do have a full review of my stay at The Anaheim Hotel. To read the full review, check out the post here.
Best Western Palace Place Inn & Suites
Just like The Anaheim Hotel, this hotel is considered to be ‘Across the Street,’ and it truly is. This hotel is located right across the street from the S. Harbor entrance of Disney District! Literally right across the street!
This is possibly the closest you can stay to the parks without actually staying at a Disneyland Resort! Walking to the security entrance took less than 5 minutes, where the biggest wait is waiting for the light to turn green.
Which makes this Good Neighbor Hotel one of my absolute favorites due to its close proximity.
Not only is close proximity nice in the morning to make sure that you are one of the first people in line through security and to get into the parks. But it also helps out at the end of the long day when you are exhausted from all the walking and eating one too many churros.
Additionally, the rooms were pretty spacious, the beds were comfy, and I liked having a mini-fridge in the hotel room to store water and other beverages for the end of the day.
Another perk of staying at this hotel is that it is close to restaurants. On the other side of the vehicle entrance is a Cold Stone’s Ice Creamery, and about a block in the other direction, there is a McDonald’s and other restaurants.
So for me, this makes this Best Western an ideal stay for staying off Disneyland property.
Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel
Located a bit further from the parks, but still within decent walking distance to the parks. This hotel lobby was incredible.
This hotel is themed with a medieval theme throughout. From looking at some newer photos, it looks like it could have recently been renovated. Still consistent with the castle and medieval theme, but more updated.
The lobby does offer foreign exchange services to guests, as well as multi-lingual staff.
Additionally, they have a restaurant on-site. It was a great place to eat dinner after checking in and getting settled in the room. I was pretty impressed with the food, and would definitely eat there again.
The hotel does also offer a complimentary shuttle service for guests to use.
However, because the shuttle is complimentary, the line can form fairly early in the morning. Which can be longer than actually walking to the parks.
I personally recommend walking to the parks in the morning and then taking the shuttle back to the hotel at the end of the day. It is much more convenient, and definitely nicer after a long day at the parks on your feet.
DoubleTree Anaheim
This was a great hotel to stay at with kids!
During this trip, it was my roommate and me, along with our best friend, her husband, and their 3 kids. We all decided to share one room to help cut costs!
Protip: Usually when you have more than 2 adults, they charge you more per night. However, the cost is still way cheaper than paying for a second room. So if you’re on a budget, this could be an excellent way to save money.
For example, one hotel only charged an extra $30/night for 2 additional adults. Definitely way cheaper than spending another $100+ for a second room.
For my group, the purpose of the hotel is to mainly sleep. We don’t really require fancy rooms.
However, this room fully knocked our socks off with how spacious and incredible it was. There was more than enough room for all of us in this 2 Bedroom Suite (I think) we stayed in.
The room had a total of 4 Queen beds, 2 showers, 2 toilets, and double sink vanity. Which was perfect for our group’s needs.
There was also a separate room in the back (which is why I think it was a 2 bedroom suite). So the layout was room (with 2 beds, desk, and tv), the bathroom area (with full double sink vanity and 2 rooms for the shower and toilets), and then another room (with 2 beds, desk, and tv).
This layout was so cool and great for our group, allowed privacy and separate space for everyone.
Which is why I would highly recommend this hotel if you are visiting with children. Having a separate room, along with enough bathroom space for everyone to get ready is just really handy.
Hyatt House Anaheim Hotel
This hotel was probably about the furthest away from the parks that I have ever stayed, but it is still within walking distance. It is classified as being about half a mile to a mile away from the parks.
But it still only takes about 15-20 minutes to walk to the entrance of Downtown Disney District.
My group ended up scoring a really good deal when we stayed here due to them revamping a large section of the hotel. We ended up staying in a mini-suite with a separate bedroom and full kitchenette.
It really was an incredible place to stay. I wish that our trip was a bit longer than it was so that we could have taken full advantage of the awesome room that we had.
It is definitely a place that I want to stay at again, and it is high on my ‘must revisit’ hotel list.
Another perk to staying here is that there is a Walgreens below the hotel, which is great in case you realize you forgot to pack one or two things that you might need.
There are also plenty of restaurants across the street giving plenty of options in case you go back to the hotel or out of the parks for lunch/dinner.
Additionally, there is a 7-Eleven diagonally from the hotel, which is great for a quick breakfast on the go. Which is almost a tradition for me on Disney trips, go to 7-eleven grab a quick breakfast for the road, and an energy drink.
Full List of Good Neighbor Hotels
As you can tell from the little snippets I’ve shared about the hotels that I’ve stayed at, each hotel brings its own positives to a vacation.
So here is the full list of the Disneyland Good Neighbor Hotels in Anaheim.
Again they are listed by proximity to the parks, with the closest hotels being listed first. As I feel the proximity to the parks is the most important.
Remember that the hotels listed here are just the Good Neighbor Hotels and not all of the hotels that are available in Anaheim.
Across the Street
Staying at an Anaheim Hotel that this across the street from Disneyland is probably the most ideal.
Staying so close means that you don’t have to worry about transportation to and from the parks, as most are within a 5-minute walk away from the gates.
Plus, (let’s face it) it is just really cool to look out your hotel window and see the parks!
Where usually, close proximity to the parks means that they are a bit more expensive but this isn’t always the case. There are plenty of options where the prices are actually reasonable and affordable for a variety of budgets.

Less Than Half a Mile
Anaheim Hotels that are right across the street from Disneyland are usually the first hotels to get booked up for Disney stays.
If that is the case, then staying a little bit further away from the parks is always a good option as well. Typically it can also mean a bit of a decrease in price for the overall stay.
Staying a little bit further away from the parks usually means a decrease in the overall cost of the stay.
Usually at this distance, you need to start to consider transportation to and from the parks depending on group size.
With being less than half a mile away, walking is still a very good option. However, if not everyone in your party wants to walk, most of the hotels listed do offer some kind of transportation to and from the parks.
Transportation provided by hotels can sometimes be complementary and sometimes costs an additional fee. The cost varies by hotel, so this is something to keep in mind when thinking of budget and the overall trip.

More than one mile
These are the Good Neighbor hotels that are the furthest away from the parks, but still doable for walking.
If walking to the parks isn’t something that you are interested in, all of these Good Neighbor Hotels do offer a Shuttle Service to the parks for an additional fee.
Of course, driving to the parks is also an option, but parking at a Disney parking structure not only costs but also fills up fast. Additionally, they only open about an hour prior to parks opening, not giving a lot of time to get through security and get to the parks.is also an option when going to the parks, but remember that parking structures can fill up fast, and only open within an hour prior to park opening.

Take-Aways:
Obviously from the list above, there are a lot of different options to choose from when it comes to Good Neighbor Hotels in Anaheim for a Disneyland trip.
There really is no right or wrong hotel for your trip. When making the decision on where to stay, you have to think about what is best for yourself or your group.
Some tips to consider when making the decision are:
– Distance from Parks
– Cost
– Transportation to and from Parks
– Current promotions at hotels
If you plan on doing more than just Disney while staying in Anaheim, then I suggest staying at a hotel that is slightly further away from Disneyland. This can help cut down on drive time to the other destinations.
Be sure to check out my blog posts on hotel reviews for the different hotels that I have stayed at. I try to do a review for every hotel (but it doesn’t always happen). Also check back to this post often, as I will update it as I stay at more hotels during my Disney trips.
