I have the same question.
We are planning a DL trip also! Even though I live so close to WDW, I am really looking forward to re-visiting DL.
We were there once, just a few months after DCA opened.
DH registered for the DL half marathon.
Now I need to set up room ressies.
Rather than stay on-site (although it is a real temptation) I rather spend less on a room stay so I can spend more on pins!
We are not resort people. We spend most of the time in the parks.
Our main criterias are close, clean, safe, and a place to sleep and shower.
On our previous trip we stayed at Anaheim Desert Inn & Suites, and had no problems or issues at all.
We are considering staying there again.
But I am wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a Harbor Blvd motel close to the DL Main Entry Plaza.
Suggestions?
I don't need CHEAP. Reasonable, yes.
I have also looked at the Candy Cane Inn website and Howard Johnson Hotel in the Anaheim Resort.
I am wondering how close the HoJO really is. I know from our previous stay that many hotels made it sound like they were close, and they really were not. We liked the location of the Desert Inn for the nearby convenience.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Keep 'em coming.
