Cheapest hotel within short walking distance?

[BurnsideMommy]

We are wanting to go end of July or early August. I know about the HoJo ent rate (and we also have AAA) but they don't have the Ent rate for all the days we would want to go (5 days in the park, 6 nights).

What is the cheapest hotel across the street from Disneyland (HoJo is about as far as I'd want to walk with 3 munchkins)?

Also a pool + free breakfast is a plus.

The Anaheim Plaza is about an 8 minute walk from the esplanade. It offers a $9.95 breakfast buffet with one free kid per paying adult. There's no continental breakfast, but it often runs $30-40 cheaper than the other places that are maybe 5 minutes away from the esplanade instead of 8. And it has a pool.

The Anabella hotel also offers very reasonable rates and its a really nice hotel.

Seconding the Anaheim Plaza suggestion, and adding that you should book online through their website, rather than over the phone, as it'll be about $10 less a night.

Here's their website: http://www.anaheimplazahotel.com .

Their pool is HUGE (half Olympic size, IIRC), and heated, and surrounded by palm trees

Candy Cane Inn is close, on the same side of the street as DLR. They have a pool and a decent free breakfast. They have a AAA rate which takes it down a few dollars per night.

I've also stayed at the Carousel Inn across the street. It also has a free breakfast, although it wasn't as good as CCI's IMO.

I would check on www.hotels.com to get an idea of where everything is and prices. Use Disney's California Adventure as the location. If you look at the map view it will give you an idea how close it is to the crosswalk over to the parks.

Keep in ming the extra fees. Parking Fee, Resort Fee and sometimes a Safe fee. Also if breakfast is included or if you will have to buy it elsewhere.

This is my favorite map to show which hotels are nearby. You can actually see where the pedestrian entrance is.

The Grand CA is close, but since the OP is looking for least expensive I don't think this one qualifies!

Here is another good map and it is interactive:

And here is a way to calculate walking distances:

I have stayed at the following:

Quailty Inn & Suites - clean, cheap, small pool, free parking, .7 miles walk, nice continental breakfast (had make it yourself waffles), linen quality is good. I have stayed there 4 times.

Motel 6 - clean, really cheap, small pool, free parking, .95 miles walk, no free breakfast, linen quality is a little low (regular for motel6). Stayed there once.

Best Western Stovall's Inn - clean, reasonably priced, two pools, was free parking ( i heard it is now $8), nice continental breakfast, .75 miles walk through the Grand CA, linen quaility is good, I stayed there once.

Desert Palm Inn - Stayed here with my parents in a suite that fit 7 and price was good for all of us, very clean and nice, good linen quality, nice little pool, nice continental breakfast (had scrambled eggs), I think it was about .7 miles walk, free parking, I stayed there twice.

Travelodge Anaheim - dirty, priced a little high for what you get, kind of a long walk, free parking, free breakfast, I stayed there once and won't ever again.

Paradise Pier - very clean, very nice, no free breakfast, free parking, very nice pool and water slide, very nice linens, I don't recall the walking distance but not too bad. I liked it but I can get two nights at one of the cheaper places for what I paid to stay there and that is what I do now.

Those have been my experiences.
