Am I blind? Red Lion ? *New ?*

[DisneyMomma81]

I can't find the Red Lion on this *map* The address is 1850 S Harbor ~ is it within walking distance? Would you stay there for $75 per night *that price includes taxes/fees* This price is for the 4th of July weekend....

**ETA ~ see post 4 for my new ?

You're not blind - it's not listed on that map. Here is the map from their site. http://www.anaheimredlion.com/anaheim-hotel-map.asp?cm_sp=area+map-_-interactive-_-homepage

It's definitely walkable, but could might feel like a long walk, especially if you're planning to do it a few times a day (taking an afternoon break, etc.).

The Red Lion used to be the Anaheim Maingate Hotel, so that's what it's listed as on that map.

We've stayed there multiple times and really like the hotel. It's walkable however, if you have small kids, it can be a bit of a walk at the end of the day, so we usually take the ART shuttle.

The cons- They charge a parking fee per night. They don't have a spa. They usually only have one or two people at the check in desk, so you may have to wait a bit to check in.

The pros- The hotel and rooms were renovated within the past 2 years, so they're pretty clean and modern (flat screens, white duvet comforters, etc) The beds are pretty comfortable for hotel beds. They have free wi-fi. They have a large fitness center. They have a hot breakfast buffet that's $10/adults and kids under 10 eat free. It has eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, pancakes, french toast, bagels, cereal yogurt, apples and bananas. So, while it's nothing special or unique, it's hot, basic breakfast fare that's decently priced and ensures everyone has a full belly before you head out for the day.

Hmmm ~ looks as though there'd be an additional parking fee. I'm getting the price from lastminutetravel.com

Has anyone stayed at the Red Lion via LMT? If so did you pay the additional parking fee?

The parking fee is $14/day. I've never stayed via LMT but I've booked via priceline and they charge the fee, so I would assume regardless of who you book through, they're going to charge it.

We were just there a couple of days ago visiting friends who were staying there (we were across the street at the Sheraton Park). The hotel looks really nice and we kind of wished we were staying there instead of at the Sheraton Park, which was getting really worn and tired looking. We had breakfast at the Red Lion, cheap for $10 adult and free for kids.

Our friends booked thru getawaytoday.com which gave them a great rate and included daily breakfast. Only parking was not included.

The walk was just fine. We did it every day with our kids and we saw loads of families doing the same thing. It's like walking a long block.

We stayed at the Red Lion in February and loved it. We gave the front desk a tip for good service and got a room upgrade and free parking for our 5 night stay.

Be sure to check the hotel's website. They were running a deal for $99 per night that included parking and the breakfast buffet. Worth comparing if it's available for your dates.

I have stayed at the Red Lion many times. Always through a discount hotel service (like; expedia, LMT, Priceline,etc...). I have always paid for parking, never had the free breakfast, but have booked many times at $45.00 a night. I have never booked it on a holiday weekend so I would so your $75.00 a night is probably fair.

We just got back from 6 nights there earlier this week. We also booked through LMT. I can't really help you as far as parking goes, since we didn't have a car. It's the third building south of the light on Katella. It didn't feel like a far walk, but we didn't have any kids.
We really enjoyed it and would stay there again. The rooms were nice and the staff was great. We got there at about 11a.m. and they already had a room for us. There is normally a $40 early check in fee, but they waived it.

Its about 17minutes at an average walking speed, but can depend on crosswalks though...
