Rebel Challenge will be my first west coast race. What Good Neighbor hotels are best to stay at for a Disneyland race weekend?
I've stayed at Best Western Stovalls on Katella (corner of Disneyland Dr.) numerous times and it's such a great location. Only a block from the start/finish lines of the races and a nice hotel for the price. They do tend to book up quickly too...
A lot of people like Tropicana.
I suggest Anabella (or Stovalls though I've never stayed there) because of the proximity for the race events. I looked at the GPS, and walking from there, to the staging area, and to the start lines is shorter than walking from the "across the street from the entrance" places on Harbor.
Now this does depend on your priorities. For us, we want to be closer for the races so we can sleep in just that much longer. Others might want a shorter walk to and from the parks. Depends on what you want!
we'll also be coming from the east coast so we're not as worried about time since we'll have quite the advantage there.
For race weekends we've been doing Stovalls since we can't afford PPH.
For our normal family vacation we do the Hojo on Harbor which I do prefer over Stovalls. This year for RC I'm undecided which I'll end up going with. I'm going to make reservations at both for now and decide later.
And I find Stovalls breakfast room to come in very handy on race weekends also!I've always heard good things about HoJo, but we won't have kids with us as it's just my friend and I so I'm unsure if we need what HoJo's offers. I'm thinking the proximity to corrals might trump things.
