A Brief On Choosing Anaheim Hotels

By R.C Davis

Most trips to Anaheim take place for one reason: the amusement parks. Disneyland and the others nearby offer a lot of fun that many families feel the urge to check off from their list. To describe all the Anaheim hotels in detail would take forever (and there are websites made already that would do it better anyway). I will give you some ideas to look out for, however, as you consider amongst your many, many options.

If the parks are indeed your priority, then you definitely want to think about the hotel's ease of access to the parks. The hotels owned by Disney that are right on the park are an obvious choice for convenience, although they can sometimes be pricey without a deal of package to help lighten the burden. If that won't work for you (or you just don't want to be right inside the park), then you will want to consider the transportation the hotel provides (or doesn't) to the park. Some will advertise a short walk instead, and you will have to consider how easy it will be to transport your group in this way.

Also look out for any packages or deals the hotel offers. These hotels have a lot of competition, and they want to make all those nervous dads feel better about their expenses. Look for free or discounted food and extra amenities. The amusement park itself will likely be a similar price no matter which hotel you buy tickets at, but parks are expensive so try to save where you can elsewhere.

Some parks are also all decked out for the family. Some of the resorts and hotels owned by Disney will have all sorts of cartoon-themed decorative touches and actors to make the kids feel special. Other parks might not have the right to do this, but they will often offer amenities and facilities that are very kid friendly.

Don't forget the hotel and room amenities. The theme park is very stressful, and it may pay to have a relaxing place to return to at the end of the day. Make sure that the home-away-from-home you return to is a place where you feel comfortable. Extras like Internet access and media players prove beneficial here (you'd think that a hotel seeing so many family vacationers might have a DVD player, but not all of them do!).

Disneyland isn't the only destination--you will arrive at your hotel as well. If you can't afford much, you might not get the best pick among the Anaheim hotels. Just make sure you look at reviews and find a comfortable, affordable place among them. - 29954
