Help me out guys! - budget hotel near disneyland

[pixiewings71]

From what I've experienced, the closer your stay is to the time you make your reservations, the higher the rate is. Usually if you make your reservations at least a month in advance you can get some really good rates! I paid $49 a night for a room in the first part of December, but then I made my reservations like 3 months in advance. My stay included a weekend, so I'm not quite sure how the prices are calculated!

This isn't the first time this has happened though. We went so many times last year (7-07 to 7-08) that I wanted to try all different hotels/motels. Every time I tried API it was at least $89.....and I would check 4-8 weeks in advance.

Where did you book it? Over the phone? Their website?

I searched hotel rates for the Anaheim Plaza for January, months and months ago and they were the same as they are now.

Yup, this was my experience as well.

I booked my room on their website. The first time I made a reservation, the person I spoke with on the phone said to just make the reservation online, because it's $10 cheaper that way.

That's how I always search, online. Nothing under $89 ever, no matter how far out I'm searching. Oh well, I'll just stay at my timeshare and at HoJo for now.

I'm surprised and just a little disappointed that nobody has mentioned the Carousel Inn & Suites. It is very close to the entrance, the staff is friendly and responsive, and they offer a complimentry continental breakfast. Add to that the fact that there are both view suites and a rooftop balcony for fireworks viewing and I think it is the best non-Disney hotel in the area.
