Good Neighbor Hotels

[BDBopper]

I am wondering if you can help me. Some people have recommended staying at a "Good Neighbor Hotel" instead of one of the resort hotels, especially since the Good Neighbors are cheaper. I know and have heard that the Candy Cane Inn is one of them and is very good. What are the other Good Neighbors and is there a site that compares them so that I choose the one that is right for me?

Thanks! :)

I don't know about comparing them - maybe Expedia or Travelocity does that - but the Park Inn (it may have changed it's name)directly across the street is a decent hotel. They have large rooms that are almost suites.

There is a link on the Disneyland.com page, when you click to hotles there's a link to the Good Neighbor ones. Trip Advisor usually has some decent reveiws.

Thank you very much!

I think the benefit of the Good Neighbor hotels has something to do with either transportation or cheaper tickets.

It all depends on what you are looking for- we've stayed on and offsite and they all have their pluses and minuses. For instance- the Best Western Park Place Inn and the Camelot motels are both much closer to the entrance than any of the onsite hotels. (The Camelot is right next to McDonalds, which thrilled my kid more than the fact we were in DL). They're reasonably priced and relatively clean, but they also have very small parking lots and no room service, etc. I like the Sheraton Anaheim because it's got it's own shuttle system and as a hotel it has the usual amenities: room service, a decent restaurant and lounge, a great deli and gift shop, an arcade, a heated pool, laundry area near the pool, etc. The shuttle is very efficient and it only takes a couple of minutes to and from the Resort. Best of all, it costs less than half of what you would pay for a basic room at the DLH, and considerably less than the Grand. If you stay at the Sheraton, be sure to sign up for their Starwood program- it's free and you earn upgrades, get morning papers, etc.

I have heard great things about the Candy Cane, but I just can't get past the silly name to actually stay there.;)
