I know the BW is a bit closer to the park but CCI has a little better reviews.

We want comfy beds, a decent breakfast, wifi, adequate size room, (2 adults 2 kids 11 yrs and 13yrs) pool isn't important to us, TV isn't all that important.

TIA!

Can't speak to BW, but CCI is fantastic. Rooms aren't especially spacious though, sounds like that may be important to you, so maybe take a look at layout/dimensions and compare? Have a magical time!
 
Candy Cane is definitely a higher quality hotel OVERALL but best western is definitely a lot closer.
 
We are currently planninga trip and between these two hotels. Would love some feedback........
 

We haven't stayed at anything there besides the Candy Cane and the Fairfield, so take that for what it's worth :)

Candy Cane has three room sizes: standard (264 sq ft), deluxe (308 sq ft) and premium (350 sq ft) - we found standard one a bit small given the amount of stuff we brought, but found the deluxe really spacious. We had a stroller, several laptop bags, large suitcases, etc, and still had room for my toddler to play on the floor.

The wireless internet is useable. I was able to do some work from the hotel room (checking email, browsing websites) without any issues, and we were able to stream some kid's shows as well. It's not lightning fast, but if all you're looking for is browsing the internet, it'll work.

They have a continental breakfast - cereal and milk, pastries (croissants, bagels, muffins, etc), fruit, cheese, coffee, tea, and juice. We brought Nutella from home to supplement :) It's pretty much the exact same stuff every day, so if you're staying there for a while it can get boring.

We love the Candy Cane. They do also give you a coupon for, I think, $10 a night off your next stay. For the time period we went, it covered the price difference between the standard and deluxe room rates.

Other things we like about Candy Cane: the front desk staff is very friendly, free parking, they always seem to be doing refurbishment around the hotel, the bathroom sink area is very spacious (we set up our own coffee maker and snacks plus we have to wash bibs, kid placemats, etc), the walk to DL only crosses one road (which is only used by the Disney buses and other shuttles), plus the walk is right along DL property. When we walked to DL from the Fairfield we had to walk past a lot of other hotels and, frankly, sketchy people trying to sell us timeshares/concert tickets/random junk toys, plus cross Harbor Blvd.
 
I haven't stayed at the Candy Cane Inn, but I have stayed at the BW Anaheim Inn. I enjoyed my stay at the BW and wouldn't hesitate to go back. The rooms were clean and it was a short walk over to the parks. When I stayed there they had a grab and go breakfast bag in the mornings but we only took one the day we actually left to go home (basic granola bar, apple, and some other stuff). We liked that there was a Denny's next door and we ate a quick breakfast there a couple mornings, it was cheap and fast.

The only problem I had with the room was that the air conditioner was a little loud, but most nights I was too tired and it didn't bother me that much but if you are a light sleeper (which I am not, I live next to active train tracks) it might bother you. I have stayed at the HOJO and the BW Stovall's Inn before and they were okay but the BW Anaheim Inn did have better customer service and location.
