We wanted to stay where we could walk and not use a shuttle. We have stayed at the Park Vue the past 2 years, but it is not a Good Neighbor Hotel and therefore not on the map on the Disneyland website. I wanted to know the names of the adjacent hotels. The Park Vue is right at the crosswalk on Harbor. I know that the Best Western Park Place Inn (as mentioned above by MOLLYSMOM) is right at the crosswalk as well. My husband's coworker stayed there last week and really enjoyed it. Happy trip planning...

Originally Posted By nemopoppins Well then I'd recommend the Anaheim Plaza. It's not too far to walk but it's not directly across the street. It's actually across from the driveway, on Harbor. You can get a "suite" there which for us was actually just two connecting rooms, but that gave us four queen size beds and two bathrooms. Kind of roomy too. It was a little over $100, like 120, I think. They have a lot more going on there than a lot of the motels on that street. They have a restaurant (even though there are many close by), nice grounds, an arcade, I think a gift shop, and a very nice pool and pool area. The only thing is I've seen a few complaints about that place on these boards. It is kind of old and can seem a little dumpy. I'd only stayed at two other places on Harbor, Park Vue Inn, which was fine but I didn't like as much, and Desert Inn, which I liked the least of the three. These two are just right across the street though and they both have little suites and are pretty cheap, but a not as cheap as the Anaheim Plaza.
Originally Posted By gaston lives If you stay at the Ramada Maingate, it's a 5 minute walk to the Hub in DL. If you get their premiere room, it's like a mini-suite, and you can get two rooms with adjoining doors. The cost for the larger room is only like $7-$10 a night extra. We just stayed there and it was very clean and very close. Their breakfast every morning could be bigger, but it wasn't bad. They even leave a newspaper for you every morning. I'd recommend it, and it's cheap!

He finally sat down and helped me plan, something he never does, just so I would feel better about having a "date" to look forward to. Have I ever mentioned what a GREAT guy I am married to? Hey, and I don't know about the blind fold --- when in my top condition, I can be pretty darn quick ---

You start at the HOJO, and I'll saunter over from the BWPPI...carrying a cinnamon mocha in the hand NOT tied behind my back, and I'll sing the POTC song as well. Give it your best shot, sister!!! Oh, and being the good sport that I am, I'll give you a 2 minute head start. Now go start dinner...it's 4:30!!!
