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: Close to disney,tourist friendly Disadvantages: well spaced out,Car definately required
...I have travelled to Los Angeles many times on business and quite a few with my family for a holiday.We have always headed for A Motel/Hotel in the Anaheim Area {30 miles south of LA}
After a long flight from the UK I would recommend an overnight stop near Los Angeles airport for the first night [hotels from about 30 pound per room per night} this review is based on a family holiday 2 adults 2 children 8,15 so you will not find any real nighlife info here.
Travelling down to Anaheim is a doddle,finding your accomodation unless it is on the same road {Harbor Boulevard}
as Disneyland can be frustrating, get your hands on a good Anaheim Guide.
I will recommend the Candycane Inn next door to Disneyland
if you want to be close to the action,excellent Motel,large rooms,
good size pool and spa,plus a free comprehensive breakfast
Not bad for 95...
