Advantages: Close proximity to Disneyland Disadvantages: Because of this much further away from everything else
...My family chose to stay in Anaheim as part of our trip to California as they believed that this was the best place to stay for families. And having stayed there that is exactly who I would recommend visit here. Anaheim is about 2 hours drive away From the main city of Los Angeles. This journey time would be much less if the traffic wasn't as bad! Its worse than the M25!
MOst of the hotels in this area are based along main streets. Istayed at the Holiday Inn Suites, which was best for us at it was a one bedroom apartment (we are a fimly of four, 3 women and my dad so he doesn't like to share with me and my sister). The road our hotel was on was the main street, and it had a waterpark and the Knotts Landing theme parks just down the road, a short walk away. The Disneyland resorts are about 20 minutes away, and our hotel offered free...

Advantages: great base for disneyland Disadvantages: Was a bit pricey this time
...Last weekend, I returned from yet another trip to Anaheim, California.
Anaheim is in Orange County, and is the perfect base to stay and see the attractions. Orange County is the place where Michelle Pfeiffer won a beauty pageant. The home of The Offspring.
It's about a 1 hours drive from LAX, well that's how long it takes us. We seem to get lost everytime, and this time we got pulled up by the L.A.P.D for being in a rough area.
We didn't even know where we had ended up, it was nice for the cops to be so concerned!!
After 15 minutes of questioning we set off in the direction of our hotel, hopefully.
We were staying at the Castle Inn and Suites, which I will write about when Ciao put a category there.
It's on South Harbor Boulevard, which goes on for miles and this is like International Drive in Florida, if you know it.
Along Harbor...

Advantages: speaks for itself Disadvantages: you have to come home
...as it rarely gets below 100 degrees but in Autumn it can be expensive as climate is pleasant and Californian's visit at weekends. Conversely , Anaheim (Disneyland area) is very Expensive in Summer but relatively cheap out of season. As such , my comments on the respective chains is more in relation to each other rather than a general price you may pay.
Embassy Suites :- www.embassy-suites.com (Expensive but nice)
Fairfield Inn :- www.fairfieldinn.com (Good value - owned by Marriottt)
Hampton Inn :- www.hampton-inn.com (Good value)
Holiday Inn :- www.holiday-inn.com (Cheap to Expensive)
Choice Hotels :- www.choicehotels.com (Cheap to Mid-Price , 5 or 6 different chains to choose from)
Howard Johnson :- www.hojo.inn (Cheap)
Sherarton :- www.sheraton.com (Expensive - you probably guessed that one)
Vagabond :- www.vagabondinns.com (Cheap...

I decided to extend a day trip to london and stay overnight, just me and my 6 year old boy. This was very last minute booking 18.00 hours the night before the stay to be exact.
Searching on the net I found various prices for us to stop for one night. more

I stayed at the Tulip Inn (Trafford Centre) early in August as the Arctic Monkeys were playing at Lancashire Cricket Ground.
When we arrived the car park was quite full but had plenty of spaces, even though the hotel very obviously very busy.
