Looking for a great hotel near Disneyland and California Adventure? This ranks & reviews the best & worst hotels in Anaheim, including pros & cons, room photos, and a numerical score based on walking distance, prices, room quality & size, and amenities.<\/p>\n
Disneyland has seen a hotel explosion in the last few years, and several of the accommodations reviewed here are brand new! With over a dozen new properties and thousands of rooms added, you can often find some great deals, especially during California’s off-season or when events aren’t scheduled at the nearby Anaheim Convention Center.<\/p>\n
Our rankings are based upon firsthand experience<\/em> doing actual stays at all of the hotels–many multiple times. We have stayed at 75+ hotels near Disneyland and this is the only resource ranking so many Anaheim hotels from the perspective of one individual. Every other comprehensive guide or list is inconsistent due to crowd-sourcing.<\/p>\n Scoring is based upon important objective details that will matter most if you’re planning a vacation to Disneyland Resort…plus some of my opinions. You can also read our overall comparison of the benefits of staying in Disney-owned hotels versus third party accommodations in\u00a0Off-Site vs. On-Site Disneyland Hotels: Where to Stay<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n We update this list regularly thanks to monthly (at minimum) stays at hotels near Disneyland. Although we’re locals, we also have a toddler. Getting out our door, driving and parking and into the parks in time for rope drop is impossible without booking a hotel and walking (which, not so coincidentally, is also why we only recommend staying within walking distance).<\/p>\n Several hotels have bounced around the rankings thus far in 2026, but the biggest change to which we want to direct your attention is that Disney Ended 2 Hotel Perks, Cutting On-Site Advantage at Disneyland.<\/a> Specifically, these perks are\/were the private entrance from Pixar Place Hotel into DCA and Early Entry. These are big negatives for the Disney-owned hotels, PPH especially. Conversely, they’re mild positives for the dozens of third off-site hotels, several of which move up as a result.<\/p>\n Rankings are determined by best total scores, which are out of a possible 30 points in 4 categories. There’s a maximum of 10 points for distance, 8 points for room quality & size, 7 points for cost, and 5 points for amenities. Those odd numbers might seem, well, odd, <\/em>but they were chosen with careful consideration after a lot of reader feedback.<\/p>\n Location, room, and cost are the big factors for most visitors to Disneyland, which is why they’re weighted. There’s a possibility what you prioritize in a hotel near Disneyland and Disney California Adventure will differ at least slightly from our scale. In that case, you can glean the selling points of each hotel from its summary, pros & cons, and the sub-divided numerical scores.<\/p>\n We recommend booking a discounted hotel + ticket vacation package via Get Away Today to save money<\/a>. In addition to the package discount, some hotels have ‘4th night free’ promos, and there’s currently a ‘5th day free’ promo on park tickets. Save an extra $10 by using code TOURIST<\/strong> at checkout (valid on 2-night and longer stays). Click here to check out the package discounts available<\/a>. This is in addition to any package or bundle savings on tickets and hotels.<\/p>\n One thing to note before we get going is that Anaheim has a lot<\/em> of hotels and this list was starting to get unwieldy. Below is a list of hotels that previously ranked below #44, but we’ve decided to cut due to their proximity, price, lower quality, or some combination of the three. This isn’t to say that they are bad options. Some are just fine!<\/em><\/p>\n However, they’re not hotels we’d book or actively recommend, especially when considering the alternatives. Ending the list at 44 instead of 40 or 50 might seem random, but we determined each of the final 4 filled important roles and were worthy of inclusion. Everything that didn’t make the cut brought nothing unique to the table that warranted making the list.)<\/p>\n Anyway, here are the now unranked options at which we’ve stayed:<\/p>\n As for the list below, we’d be comfortable staying at any of these–which we’d recommend depends upon your budget, priorities and preferences. They all have something to offer and are safe options. (If a hotel isn’t on the list above or below, we haven’t stayed there.)<\/p>\n Now, on with the Anaheim\/Disneyland-area hotel rankings! Clicking on any hotel name (that’s clickable) or links to the reviews will open the detailed review containing additional photos, info, and thoughts on that hotel in a new window. Let’s check out the rankings…<\/p>\n Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel tactfully balances what could be a kitschy castle theme with high-end amenities and modern rooms. The biggest downside is location, back by Mickey & Friends parking structure, but there’s a shuttle.

Price is the wild-card; sometimes it can be under $100 per night. You won’t regret your stay here…you just won’t remember it, either. It’s a very forgettable hotel.

Click here to book discounted rates at Cortona Inn & Suites<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Scoring<\/strong> Total Score<\/strong><\/em>: 17.5<\/p>\n Nestled between Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse and the Anaheim Convention Center, this Courtyard is pretty nondescript from the outside. Heck, the main entrance doesn’t even have a marquee. However, the rooms are fairly modern and nice (and not <\/em>cookie-cutter), and it’s convenient for both the parks and the ACC.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/strong> Price; well-designed rooms; convenience to ACC & Disneyland Click here to book discounted rates at Courtyard by Marriott Anaheim<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Scoring<\/strong> Total Score<\/strong><\/em>: 18<\/p>\n Desert Palms Hotel & Suites is an okay hotel, with nice advantages like indoor hallways and an inviting lobby that make it seem superior to the hotels directly on Harbor Boulevard. The location is close enough and the rooms are fine, but prices can be a bit high. Read and see more in our full Desert Palms Hotel & Suites Review<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Pros:<\/strong> Location; nice ‘pluses’ over other hotels; breakfast Click here to book discounted rates at Desert Palms Hotel<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Scoring<\/strong> Total Score<\/strong><\/em>: 18<\/p>\n This Hampton Inn is brand new, and follows the formula of all recent ‘big box’ hotel chains in Anaheim. The rooms aren’t as interesting, but the biggest downside is proximity to Disneyland. You’re looking at about a 25 minute walk to the parks; if not for that, this would be much higher up the list.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/strong> Solid amenities & rooms Click here to book discounted rates at Hampton Inn Anaheim Resort<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Scoring<\/strong> Total Score<\/strong><\/em>: 19<\/p>\n Anaheim Portofino Inn & Suites has great bones and unique advantages, such as spacious suites and interior hallways–a rarity for motels at its price point. The problem is that the guest rooms are stuck in the 1970s, and dated even by Anaheim motel standards. The location is pretty good, minus having to cross Katella, and the price is usually right. If you don’t mind extreme datedness, it’s a solid option.

Click here to book discounted rates at Portofino Inn & Suites<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Scoring<\/strong> Total Score<\/strong><\/em>: 19<\/p>\n Candlewood Suites is another newer, family suite-centric hotel in the Anaheim Resort area. Its rooms are nice, but more compact than other options. Its amenities are not as impressive, thanks to a smaller pool and lack of a free breakfast, but it’s still a solid option. Pricing is often more attractive than its family suite competitors, too.<\/p>\n Pros:<\/strong> Newness & room size Click here to book discounted rates at Candlewood Suites Anaheim Resort<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Scoring<\/strong> Total Score<\/strong><\/em>: 19<\/p>\n Very much a mixed bag. This is the oldest hotel in Anaheim…and it shows!<\/em> While the lobby has been overhauled, amenities enhanced, and some rooms upgraded, it simply feels old and tired. Some rooms are dark and dingy, effectively in a “basement” of outer buildings.

Rooms are satisfactory–good enough for those who will be in the parks all day and only need something for sleeping and showering. If you can score a deal here, it’s a fine option.

The walk to the parks isn’t terrible, but rooms are basic and it can be pricey. We still like it as a budget hotel, but you can generally get more bang for your buck.

The grounds are nice and it’s within walking distance of both the Anaheim Convention Center and Disneyland. (This hotel was recently refurbished and we haven’t revisited it since that occurred–this ranking could be outdated.)<\/em>\u00a0Read and see more in our full Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort Review<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n Pros:<\/strong> Major label amenity set; large rooms with balconies; very good location.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.disneytouristblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/family-suite-element-anaheim-resort-convention-center-hotel-near-disneyland-disney-california-1543.jpg\")
