Last year we stayed at the Ramada Maingate, right across the street. Next year, we will probably stay at the Anaheim Plaza, on the corner of Disney Way & Harbor. Both are an easy walk through Downtown Disney to the starting line and both have fridges and microwaves.
The rooms at the Anaheim Plaza are huge compared to Ramada and much cheaper. I already made our reservations for that weekend for only $59/night.
