Anaheim California HotelsDisneyland Park's "Good Neighbor" HotelsIn the slide show above, you're viewing pictures of Anaheim, California hotels close to the Disneyland Resort. These hotels are some of the closest to Disneyland Park that you'll find. Especially if you're arriving in Anaheim without a car, your hotel's location is an important point. On this page, you'll discover info about Anaheim, California hotels near Disneyland Park, most of which have an arrangement with the Disney folks. These hotels agree to meet Disneyland's expectations; and in return, they get mention on Disneyland's official website, and can call themselves "Disneyland's Good Neighbor Hotels." Anaheim hotels on Harbor BoulevardThese Disneyland Good Neighbor Hotels are the "closest of the close"
Check hotel & attraction package deals! Sometimes, you'll rake in a very good deal! Before you make a decision on the Anaheim hotel you'll choose, you may wish to check out a selection of package plans available. You may use the following link to see current offers on the ARES Discount Travel Co's "Anaheim Package Deals" page, where you can check to see if discount rates are available for the date of your upcoming Disneyland visit.Multi-night stays: If you'd like to check which Anaheim hotels have current discounts going for multi-night stays, you may use the next link to see the ARES Travel "Multi-night hotel stay Discounts" page. End of package discount notice. Anaheim, California hotels near Disneyland Park can be classified 2 ways: those which are close enough to the theme park to walk; and those that are not. Many hotels classify themselves as being within walking distance of Disneyland. Some are truly "just a stone's throw away," as the saying goes. Other hotels making this claim are SORT OF in walking distance...just not a COMFORTABLE walking distance. You're not out to enjoy a pleasure hike! You're coming & going from a theme park where you'll walk all day long...most likely pushing a stroller, holding a toddler's hand, or carrying packages of souvenirs. A distance which would make a fun hiking activity if you were on a campout is NOT going to feel like any fun on your trip to Disneyland!
Amenities at the Harbor Blvd hotels-- ALL of the hotels in this section have the following amenities: On-site, free parking, telephones, air conditioning, color televisions with cable and remote controls. (So, you won't see these items mentioned in the individual descriptions of each hotel. You may just take them for granted.) Public transportation: If you choose a hotel on Harbor Blvd, you'll be directly on the Harbor Blvd line of the OCTA (Orange County Transit Authority) bus route, which is the VERY best bus route in Orange County. The buses on this route run from 5 am -- 1 am, with buses running up to 5 times an hour during rush hour (and at least 2-3 an hour at other times.) If you don't have a car with you, but want to explore the area, being on the bus line will give you a bit of freedom. (However, renting a car is still the best way to explore Southern California. It's a large geographical area which has attractions scattered throughout many miles of terrain.) Anaheim Resort District: The Harbor Blvd hotels are located within an area of Anaheim, California which has special landscaping. Especially after dusk when the decorative lights come on, how beautiful this section of Harbor Blvd. looks at night! This tree-lined street is pretty by day...but it's simply enchanting at night! thousands of tiny lights fill the trees here; you'll want to take an evening stroll just to enjoy the festive atmosphere! Shops and restaurants: All of the Harbor Blvd hotels are within walking distance of a number of restaurants. The new Anaheim GardenWalk outdoor mall is brought many new shopping and dining options to this area in Summer 2008 (and more still continue to open.) MAP OF DISNEYLAND'S GOOD NEIGHBOR HOTELS: You may use the following map of the Good Neighbor hotels discussed on this page to use as a reference guide. (Note: Only the closest hotels are included on this page. However, some readers have told me they'd be interested in staying farther away from Disneyland if they could get a better deal. Therefore, preparations are being made to soon add still MORE Disneyland-area hotels to this page in the near future.)
