We stayed at the Best Western Park Place Inn in April and really enjoyed it. It is located right at the crosswalk for the pedistrian entrance to the park.
Our room was verry very clean and spacious. When you walked into the room there was a desk and chair to your left and to the right there was a big window, sofabed and coffee table, seperate from the beds by a half wall. There were two queen beds, night stand, armoire with three large drawers, large frig, microwave and closet. There were two sinks outside of the bathroom, which made it easy to get ready in the morning. There was a space in between the fridge and closet that was perfect to put the stroller at night and not interfere with walking space.
The pool was smallish but fun and we had a complimentary continental breakfast at the restaurant next door, Mom's, it was a basic meal, coffee, juice, bagels, toast, danish, milk, fruit and cold cereal.
The staff was wonderful and very helpful when my little brother lost his lanyard full of pins(never found it we think he lost it at the park)
We have also stayed at the Desert Inn-clean spacious room,same breakfast also has a fridge and microwave
Carousal-Clean but run down looking and horrible breakfast, but this was 5 years ago and it's better now so I hear.
Fairfield Inn-horrible customer service, horrible rooms(broken toliets, door locks windows etc etc) wouldn't stay here again
Castle Inn and Suites-horrible customer service, rooms not clean, light bulbs constantly going out wouldn't stay here again
Desert Palm-so so. Rooms clean and okay but an eh type of motel. They are undergoing big time rennovations right now.
Embassy Suites-not within walking distance but a beautiful hotel and free hot breakfast and a managers reception nightly and large spacious rooms
Hilton Inn and Suites-same as Embassy
I always always hear very good things about the Hojo's! Never heard anything bad about them.
Have also read good reviews on Park Inn International and the Candy Cane
