For a relatively small city, Anaheim boasts a whopping 150+ hotels with more than 20,000
guestrooms, pretty much guaranteeing something for everyone. Almost all the national chains,
both upscale and budget, have a presence here and there are myriad independents. Many
of the chains have more than one location in the area. If you see the phrase “main gate”
in the hotel’s name, it refers to a location close to Disneyland’s main gate. About half
the hotels in Anaheim are clustered around the convention center and are within walking
distance of Disneyland.
You might want to consider a hotel or motel close to the attraction at which you will
be spending most of your time. Also, take advantage of hotel shuttles to the amusement
parks, and save yourself a lot of driving headaches.
Since Southern California has a near ideal climate (high temperatures range from an
average 65°F in winter to 79°F in summer), there is no true off-season in Anaheim. Summer
and holidays when school is out tend to be the busiest times for U.S. tourists. But many
attractions offer special promotional deals to residents in winter, so they can be
thronged with day-tripping locals at that time of year. Additionally, visitors from
overseas come at all times of the year. Booking ahead is advisable if you want to be
assured of getting your first choice of lodging.
