Hotel that will allow you to park early morning before check-in

[MalkaR]

I'm planning one day in Disneyland and I'm thinking about possibly getting an off-site hotel for napping/resting and getting to bed as soon as possible without having to drive back to my parent's house in HB where we're staying. I'd like something right by the entrance so we can (hopefully!) park at the hotel early that morning (before check-in time, obviously) and walk into Disneyland. Is this something that a hotel might allow? I just wanted to see if someone here knew about this, but I'd call the hotel directly to find out before attempting something like that.

Both Candy Cane Inn and Tropicana didn't give us any issues about parking earlier than check in time. You will have to check in and get your parking pass and then get your key after the 3pm check in time. No biggie

HoJo is also very accommodating for this issue; in addition, if you arrive with groceries that you need to keep cool, they'll store them in their refrigerator until you come back from the park to collect your room key.

Grand Legacy let me do this and they will even valet for no additional fee beyond the regular parking fee.

Fairfield Inn allows it too

Just chiming in with a previous poster- we've stayed at the CCI 4 times in the past 9 months and have never had a problem parking onsite on the morning of check in( as early as 6:30 am). They'll give you a parking permit and give you a temporary shuttle pass if you want one. 2 of he four times that actually had a room available (we only took advantage of this once because I didn't want the location on one occasion)

Have done this at Candy Cane Inn and Anaheim Hotel( under previous name) too many times to count.

That's great! I thought I was crazy thinking to do this, but it seems it's pretty normal after all!

Anyone have any experience with this for Desert Inn & Suites? We will be arriving about 2 hours before check-in time.
Thanks!

Yep, we've done it a few times at Desert Inn & Suites. Just check in and get the parking pass and then come back when the room is ready.

Not to hijack the tread entirely, but how do you like DI&S? some of the reviews aren't very good.

We like it just fine. It's usually our go to hotel in the area because of the location and the price is usually pretty good. It's definitely not fancy, but the beds are comfortable, the shower's hot and the room is clean. The continental breakfast is fine for getting fuel on your way to the park. I usually grab a bagel and hard boiled egg and I'm good to go. The breakfast room is really small, so we don't usually eat in there unless it's empty. We've never used the pool, but it's indoors and that's just weird for CA.

Thank you for this! All I really need is clean and comfortable! And of course the location is a big draw. Looking forward to trying it out.

I'll tell you where they WILL give you grief for parking/getting there early. Park Place Inn. We were there on March1, a Wednesday, and arrived in the morning. You'd think we'd defected to NoKo! We felt very unwelcome by the front desk.

I'll agree with people about HoJo. They've always been good about parking. Great Wolf Lodge is good about parking, too.
