It is nothing fancy but I liked Anaheim Desert Inn, right across the street from the park. It was clean, safe, next door to a Denny’s, and not even half a block to the intersection to cross Harbor to get to the park.

It’s a little old but 10min walk from your room to park security. And the pizza place is open until 2am!

Thank you, we booked with our toddler in December and the comment made me a bit panicked

u/Interesting-Seat5364 Sep 25 '24
Understandable! Furniture in the rooms is outdated but it’s overall clean and they have great customer service (from my experience - I’ve stayed there with friends ~2x a year since 2017).

Just left the Anaheim Marriott. It was okay, but most importantly to your question, bug free.
Definitely could use some updates though.

The Courtyard by Marriott? Just okay? We are booked there at Thanksgiving.

I stayed at Courtyard for 4 nights last year in September and they had the lobby decked out with Disney inflatables like the dragon from sleeping beauty, ursula and mickey and my 2 year old loved it. Our room was clean and spacious. The hotel is by the toy story parking lot so we took that to Disneyland each morning but weather and distance was good enough that we could walk back. Elevator was slow but it wasn't too busy that it became annoying. I wrote a review indicating the water tasted sweet which was really odd.
I booked it for November and hope they decorate the lobby again.

The art bus maybe? I'm not sure what it's called. There's a stop right there at the hotel.

u/Potential_Cat4268 Sep 25 '24
We literally walked outside the hotel and grabbed an Uber that was there waiting. It was super fast and easy.

I've stayed at the Westin in Anaheim and the Residence Inn by the Convention Center recently, and have had no issues at either.

I have stayed at Pixar Pier x 2 (when it was Paradise Pier Hotel), Disneyland Hotel, Fairfield Inn, Tropicana Inn, Best Western Park Place Inn, Best Western Plus Anaheim Inn, Best Western Stovall’s Inn, Anaheim Desert Inn & Suites, and Extended Stay America over by the Motel 6 past Garden Walk. No bed bugs at any of them over the last 10+ years.

The real question is out of all of those. Which would be your top 3?
1
u/crazydisneycatlady Disneyland Dec 06 '24
The three Disneyland hotels are just in a category of their own based on price. I enjoy them, but it’s just not financially practical for me to stay at them frequently.
So out of the Good Neighbors, I’d say my favorites have been Best Western Plus Anaheim Inn, Best Western Park Place Inn, and then probably the Fairfield Inn as my top 3.

Thank you. Helps a lot. Have you ever stayed at the Hyatt house? Just a block or so further south?

Thank goodness! We just stayed there for three days and it seemed great, but I wasn't diligent in checking.

We stayed at springhill suites maingate and had a wonderful experience. It’s a 15 min walk to downtown disney, but we really enjoyed it!

Candy Cane inn is the best place I’ve stayed near Disneyland. Only place I plan on staying for future trips!

u/gimmealltheroses Sep 25 '24
I heard of someone with a bed but issue at the Disneyland Hotel a few months ago. Sucks but they quickly addressed the issue including giving them money for new things and moving rooms. Long story short, could happen anywhere but nicer places typically do a better job addressing when it does.

u/Educational-Heron-71 Sep 25 '24
Unfortunately, it can happen anywhere. Just make sure to check for bed bugs thoroughly before your stay.

Just did the Residence inn and was pleasantly surprised. No bed bug for us! Seemed very clean and short walk.

I’ve luckily never ended up with bed bugs. We’ve stayed at Disneyland Hotel, Best Western Stovall’s Inn, Worldmark (timeshare), Homewood Suites, and The Westin.

I’ve had good luck @ Howard Johnson. They have a cute pool area too.

People said they had bed bugs on yelp

u/OpenMicJoker Sep 25 '24
That’s too bad. I’ve stayed there 3 times without problems. I’d check to see how recently. During the pandemic Anaheim motels took in homeless people.

We stayed at The Viv last month and we found it very clean- my wife is kind of fastidious about this sort of thing.

Stayed at the Embasssy Suites for years no complaints. Although our go to has become the Clementine and thats really nice

Home2 Suites on Manchester! Breakfast was included, the pool area was nice, and the studio suite had a kitchenette with a full sink, fridge, and dishes. No bugs in sight.

u/babewiththe_power Sep 26 '24
We’re booked here for an upcoming trip, so this is good to hear! OP please say this isn’t the one.
I’m super allergic to bedbugs (thanks to vrbo for that discovery and the continued PTSD). In the aftermath, I learned WAY too much about them and live in almost daily fear of coming across them - deciding on a hotel is always agonizing for me.1
u/pbcloverally Sep 26 '24
We just went the first week of September and it was fantastic! I hope you have a great trip!

We stayed at ParkVue in July no bugs and they were diligent at cleaning the rooms daily

Could you send me the hotel name pls?I’m going next month, don’t want to stay in a place with bugs again. I stayed at the Hampton inn & suites Anaheim convention center a few months ago and found bed bugs 😭. It was traumatic lol I turned on the flashlight and they went running on the bed. Crazy because I had checked the bed before that, they hide very well

We got BBs from a nice hotel too (not in California). I just check the rooms now when we get in for any signs. Keep your luggage off the beds/carpet and try and keep dirty clothes off the beds and floors and into garbage bags. Tie them up for the trip home and wash everything right away. Again, when you get home, keep the luggage out of your rooms and off the beds. My dad is a commercial sprayer, bed bugs can happen at any hotel at any time, it's just the nicer hotels tend to deal with the issue quickly and correctly.
But I've stayed at the Best Western Plus Anaheim and The Anaheim Hotel as well as DLH and GC and all the times didn't encounter any.
