I am trying to find an inexpensive but safe hotel close to disneyland. this will be the first trip without my husband so I would really like indoor hallways if possible. the kids are 5, 12 and 15 so walking a couple of blocks is not a big deal.

I have been surfing the web and found some great deals but just not sure about the quality/safety of a $60 a night 2-3 star hotel. anyone have any luck with budget properties?

we will spend most of our time in the parks so we dont need much, just safe, clean and fairly close.

Hoping for the best...

Have you looked at Hojo's at all? I've never been to DL yet, but lots of people around here rave about it, and if you can get the Ent rate so much the better.

I am looking at august and last I looked there was no ent rate available then, I have not stayed there either but have heard great things also. I am really trying to stay under 100 a night if at all possible.

Has anyone stayed at the quality inn on manchester? the reviews look okay but cant tell if they have int corridors or not. also says it is walking distance but not sure where manchester is in relation to ped entrance.

thanks Smedly for the recommendation:)

If SAFETY is the concern, I suggest using priceine.com and ONLY choosing a 3* hotel. If you offer $50, you should still be under $60 total. These will always( I think) have indoor hallways, and transportation to DL.

Otherwise, Hojos is about a block away. I think the tower portion of the hotel has indoor hallways. I bet you could request being in the tower. They are very easy to work with. Tell them you're from LP. They are LP sponsors.

Ok I just spoke to my friend who is a regular who suggested trying the Fairfield Inn, Desert Palms and the Holiday inn on walnut. She also suggested maybe the Crowne Plaza or Hyatt if the rates are good, too far to walk but with their own shuttles.

"Has anyone stayed at the quality inn on manchester?"

Had to stay there a couple of years ago right after Quality took it over. Never again! The corridors are outside, but I felt safe. It was just tiny, shabby, buggy, etc.

I love Priceline and have always had good luck, but with your size group it could be harder. Stick with Fairfield or something like that. If you call HoJo directly you may have more success--they are always great!

I have never stayed but a quik search on Expedia brought up Comfort Inn Maingate at $57 or the Ramada Limited Main Gate North at $67. Does anybody know about the new Hotels by the Garden Walk? Do you have AAA or AP's? If you call HoJo and tell them you are LPposters w/AP they will give 15% off their discount rate maybe? Good luck

Here's a link to a website that shows the location of the hotels around Disneyland and has links to the hotel web page.

This is where I usually start when planning a trip to Disneyland.

The Holiday Inn on Walnut Ave has indoor hallways. In the past we have been able to get rates around 60-70 per night.
All times are Pacific Time (US)
