Do you read the ones on TripAdvisor? Sometimes a hotel (or someone hired by them) will post positive reviews about themselves, posing as guests. Be wary of reviews that read too much like an advertisement. biddingfortravel.com has information on using Priceline.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I helped DD find a hotel yesterday. She chose Quality. They have stayed there 3 times now and find it pretty good.

They have stayed there 3 times now and when she saw it was available for $54 plus tax on a weekend she jumped on it. They don't use the pool and like she said just use it to sleep, maybe for a rest in the afternoon and they might turn on the TV. Parking is free. This is a thumbs up motel from 2 in their early 20's with no kids and just want a place that is walkable. Try using Kayak. There was one rate of $47 but she chose to go with the Quality website as they may have to cancel a night and she wanted the flexibility of calling the hotel directly. Good Luck!!

Originally Posted By sjdimon I know that this will sound weird - but check out the Anaheim Hilton. They are having an online deal this year for $89 per night per room.

We've already stayed there twice this year, and will be back in December.

DD has also stayed at Fairfield and HoJo's. Quality is a step down from those two according to her but they are perfectly happy with Quality and find the walk about the same as the rooms they had at HoJo's and Fairfield.
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 LOL! Come to think of it, DD has stayed at Hilton too (Priceline) and they used ART. Suggesting Hilton isn't weird We love their Rewards points!
Originally Posted By sjdimon Sorry - I just meant that it was a little weird in that you would not expect a good deal there (or at least - I didn't until this year).
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I knew what you meant The deals are out there you just need to look for them, right?
Originally Posted By Minnie1955 We always do priceline and the deals I guess depend the time of year that you're going and on the day of the week that you're staying. We recently got a deal for $46/night at the crowne plaza for sat thru tue in december, which I think is pretty cheap. I checked biddingfortravel afterwards though and it looked like someone got crown for even less at $39. Crowne is not walking distance, but it is clean and they do provide a shuttle. We've stayed there twice before and were very happy with it.
Originally Posted By ctp09 We've stayed in at least 7 moderate to high priced around the resort and like Howard Johnson the best. We're early-40s couple, no kids.

Call the hotel direct {714.776.6120}, ask for in-house reservations, then ask for the "Laughingplace.com discount". Have a super trip!
Originally Posted By dlkozy and the most important question to ask (in regards to Howard Johnsons) is if they have the entertainment rate available for ANY of the nights that you will be staying there. The E rate might only be available 1 night out of your vacation-but those savings really add up and 1 night is better than nothin'.
Originally Posted By tashajilek if you are looking for really cheap go to the motel 6. Cost 44 a night for one adult had a king seze bed, flat screen tv and was newly renovated. Very nice room for the price i payed.
