Everything near DL is very pricey this year, except Castle Inn & Suites - is there a good reason for that? :-D

All rooms were clean and well kept, and the staff were really accomedating for us as we were also traveling with a lot of equitment (this was a band trip)and comming in at strange times due to preformances and travel times. I guess we were there at a good time, but based on our experience I would definatly go back.

Originally Posted By LuLu My followup is that I found 6 hotels with a room near DL for $60 - $85 for Saturday night. Of the ones I found reviews on Trip Advisor, all had a couple of very low reviews, including an LP fave, BW Park Place Inn, which was dissed for having serious parking problems, among other things. Since free parking is a big reason for me to stay near DL, I guess I'll either not spend the night, or stay with the tried-and-true $40 BW in Buena Park. It's really hard to find any place without some bad reviews, it's very frustrating!

I've never had a problem finding a space. Did you try kayak.com. You can actually move the bar to only show motels in the area in your price range. Or SideStep.com.

They also overheard someone checking in who couldn't get a spot, the staff had no alternatives. :-/ Thanks, I'll try those 2 sites, I'm curious to see how they compare to the one I use!
