A Few Area Hotels I Would Recommend

[Candy Cane Inn]

I have stayed at the following hotels and can recommend them.


Candy Cane Inn
Located next to the Timon parking lot at the Disneyland Resort. It is a very short walk to the park entrance and they offer a free shuttle if you would prefer a ride.

Carousel Inn & Suites
This is located just across Harbor Blvd, from Disneyland. This is just about as close as you can get without staying on property and even then the walk from the on property hotels are about the same distance.  Carousel also has a wonderful view on the fireworks if you decide to return to your hotel before the fireworks display.

Ive stayed at the Red Roof Inn by Disneyland a few times and it wasn't too shabby. I believe they are the Motel 6 Maingate now so you will have to check with them. Its a little walk to the park but in a month it'll be right next to Gardenwalk.

I have stayed at the Clarion Hotel a few times they have very nice spacious rooms. We had a Studio Suite which slept five, two double beds and a sofa bed. Located two (2) blocks from the DISNEYLAND® Resort. Enjoy newly renovated rooms, a great outdoor pool, a seasonal cabana bar, and fun restaurants.
