Why are some Good Neighbor hotels not listed on Disneyland.com?

Take Park Vue Inn and Desert Inn and Suites as a good example. What do they have to do to get on the list on the website? Though I imagine the managers/owners made a decision not to be on it. I've stayed at both. Sometimes I book the hotel separately, but there's times I prefer to book online with a package, as I did for my August 2026 trip.

If it’s not listed on there, chances are they might not be held to high standards.

Good Neighbor is a pay to play system. I wouldn’t use that as criteria in picking a place to stay.

Oh I don't. I was just curious.

By definition, if they're not listed on the Disneyland website, they are not Good Neighbor hotels.

They are Villain Neighbor Hotels.

I think you've hit on an interesting marketing opportunity...

While definitely a neighbor, I don't believe Park Vue has ever had the Good Neighbor designation. To get the designation, they have to pay Disney, and agree to set aside a certain number of rooms for Disney to have on their site. There isn't additional criteria-- no cleanliness standards or such. I've stayed at both Park Vue and Desert Inn and Suites, and both are always clean enough, obviously close, and I'd stay again if it wasn't for their $$$ prices. (I've become a Majestic devotee, where I spend under $150/night even in high season.)

It's paid advertisement, nothing more. The fact that the Clarion Hotel is on the list and PVI isn't should tell you that the only "standard" that matters to Disney is the check clearing.
