What Are Off-Site Disneyland Hotels?

Off-Site Disneyland Hotels are hotels that are mostly not owned or run by Disney but are near enough to Disneyland that a lot of their custom comes through it. These can be what are known as Good Neighbour Hotels, which are off-site hotels that Disney endorse as good hotels.

The area around Disneyland is saturated with hotels and motels and holiday apartments so that everyone going to Disneyland has somewhere to stay that fills their needs.

What Benefits Do You Get From Staying At Hotels Near Disneyland?

More often than not, hotels near Disneyland are cheaper than Disney Hotels and due to the size and layout of Disneyland can even sometimes be closer to the park than Disney’s own hotels.

They also often offer more amenities such as large pools and restaurants that you wouldn’t always get at an onsite Disney hotel. A lot of hotels near Disneyland also offer free parking so you can drive your own car there and not have to worry about paying to park it.

Are There Downsides To Staying At Hotels Near Disneyland?

Staying at off-site hotels near Disneyland can mean that you are further away from the parks but there are a large amount of off-site hotels that are within easy walking distance of the Disneyland entrance.

You would also miss out on the Extra Magic Hour that on-site hotel guests have access too, however depending on the type of ticket you buy you may still have access to the Magic Morning that Disneyland offers.

Hyatt House at Anaheim Resort/Convention Center

Located around half a mile from the Disneyland entrance, Hyatt House is within easy walking distance of the most Magical Place in the World. Hyatt House is tastefully decorated and is stylish and comfortable, all for a very affordable price, making it one of the best hotels near Disneyland. There is an outdoor pool and a large fitness center so you can burn off some of those turkey legs when you get back to the hotel.

A breakfast buffet is included in the room price and its location a little further from the parks means you are closer to more outside amenities, bars, and restaurants. One drawback is that you do need to pay for parking on-site if you have driven to the resort, and the large family suites are suitable for up to 4 people so larger groups would struggle to find a room here.

Complimentary breakfast is served every morning and then it is just a 10-minute walk to the Disneyland parks. However, parking is only available offsite for a fee. Despite this, Holiday Inn still makes a good offering when you are looking for where to stay near Disneyland.
