Originally Posted By wonderingalice Nope... According to TripAdvisor.com Camelot was formerly "Park Inn" (no "Vue" in the name), and the addresses are different. Anaheim Camelot Inn is at 1520 Harbor Blvd. and Park Vue Inn is at 1570 Harbor Blvd. The Camelot is, however, ranked better than the Park Vue - #15 as opposed to #28.

Originally Posted By wonderingalice I just checked rates at the Camelot for my stay - $40 more for Saturday night and $50 more for Sunday and Monday nights. They're actually more expensive than we normally pay at the Candy Cane, too.

BTW...I stopped into CCI to show it to my friend....Kim the day manager was there and let me have a room key to show her the room....OMG I was homesick for CCI.... She was amazed at all lush and pretty and clean everything was and how friendly the staff was..... One day you and I will have a mini meet poolside drinking Hot Chocolate

Especially since CCI is now sold out for my visit. Thankfully, none of the 'recent' reviews for PVI sound anything like the horrible experience you and the gang just went through! I would be fit-to-be-tied!! Mr. Alice and I will be back at the CCI on December 4 for four nights - plan now, honey! I've had enough of toasting you with hot chocolate without you being there!

Originally Posted By Moderation Me and the rug rat have 12 off site trips to DL in the last 4 years, so I have really gotten to know the strip motels. Our best experiences have been: 1. The Hyatt Regency. It's a little farther away, but it is really superior to any of the cross the street locations and the price is very low for a Hyatt. Because the shuttle bus only serves the Hyatt, the Doubletree and the Crown Plaza, it is fast and comfortable. 2. The Ramada Sharks Bay on Katella. Also nor tight across the street, but they have thier own shuttle van. The3 pool is nice, there's an on site coffee shop and pub and the rooms were clean and new. 3. The CCI. It's a little farther walk thn the across the street hotels but of a good quality. 4. The Park View. I've stayed there twice with none of the problems others have had. The microwave and frig are very good add ons and the continental breakfast is above average. 4. The carrosel in the new section. Not the old. Never again. The Castle, Ramada limited suites, Anahiem Park Hotel.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 As long as we're talking about "Harbor strip" places, I'll add that we were happy enough with what's now called the Camelot (no frills, but clean), and just plain happy with the Fairfield (a bit nicer, but seems to book up faster and harder to get a deal it seems).
