Originally Posted By tiggerdis_ It's quite close to the main gates, about a block away. I didn't have the greatest time there last time I stayed.

If you're just looking for a place to sleep, it should be okay - for the price. Good luck

Originally Posted By quincytoo We stayed there yen years ago and lasted two nights out of 7.

We phoned the Sunquest rep who came down and was disgusted by what she saw. She instantly transferred us over to The Jolly Rodger. That said, some LPErs have stayed here and had nice clean rooms and loved it. I would suggest checking out the room before hand. Also the staff wasn't great.
Originally Posted By Lady Yo Ho I have stayed there and not had a problem. The room is no frills. Bring a hair dryer-there are none in the rooms. However, my room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the refrigerator was large. I stocked up on bottled water in the gift shop. I know other people have had problems with cleanliness but I did not. I have stayed there twice and will be staying there again in late Oct. I got a $55 rate. Can't beat that.

Originally Posted By love DL HoJo's is actually closer than the Anaheim Plaza. The Anaheim Plaza is on the other side of the overpass that crosses I-5. HoJo's is a nice to place to stay. We stayed here this past April for 6 nights. If you can get it for a good price that is what I would do.
Originally Posted By tiggerdis_ No, love DL, I'm not sure which hotel you're thinking of, but the Anaheim Plaza is very close to the cross walk. It's actually at the light where you turn into the parking lot, one light away from the main entrance.
Originally Posted By quincytoo ^^^^So was I....The one we had the bad stay at was the one located across the street.....Location was good .....pool was huge....The rooms and the rat were nasty, but it looks like I was the only one who had a bad exprierance...plus it was 10 year ago maybe they "cleaned up their act"
Originally Posted By nemopoppins Ah, you can't scare me, I have a mouse in my kitchen! I have no idea how it got there but I haven't gotten rid of it yet because my youngest doesn't want me to kill it. I'm waiting for one of my older kids, the one that's the imagineer type, to come up with a contraption that will contain it so we can put it outside. I know there are such traps on the market but the homemade solution will be so much more satisfying.

Anxiously waiting to hear about this place from nemopoppins!
