Have you checked Trip Advisor for reviews yet? Also try Hotels.com and such for good rates - I have found booking hotel and then buying tickets is usually a much better deal!
Originally Posted By Pollyana I was a die hard anaheim plaza fan until our last visit there. I will no longer stay there, our room smelled like a wet diaper. It was gross. We always got great deals and enjoyed paying less, but now I will spend the extra bucks. If you know your dates, check into hojo entertainment rates. We got a Disney view room for 75. per nite. But that is early March and early June. Good luck in your price hunting.

Originally Posted By dan1964 I've come to rely on the Anaheim Plaza Inn and Suites as the "MOTEL" (note it's not a HOTEL) to stay at while I'm there. Sure, it's a tad bit dated .. OK .. the 80's motif in some of the rooms has got to go .. but for what you pay (between $55 & $75 a night .. tho I have never paid more than $70 a night) I did have trouble one time I stayed there, they gave me a room that had not been aired out properly after they cleaned the carpets ... PHEWWEEE!!! Anyhow, I went down to the desk and (I think the key here is ...) asked nicely about a room change. The very quickly took care of the problem, gave me a much nicer room at no extra cost. Again, it's no Hyatt ... it's a motel on Harbor Blvd. I really don't know why more folks don't make use of this motel.

We would need to make our trip no later than Aug.9 since my dh is a teacher and has to go back to work. I will keep checking back. Was told probably in May they would have the rates.
