handling problems and special requests. Our hotel dining rating applies to any on-site
counter-service dining, and the overall rating is the summary for every category.
This year, readers rated Disneyland hotels better than neighboring hotels. (The
same was also true this year for Disney's Orlando hotels.) One reason for this might
be that Disney had the financial resources to keep up maintenance and refurbish-
ment on its properties throughout the recession and slow recovery, while other hotels
struggled to keep the lights on. Another reason may be that for Disney to charge a
premium on its rooms, it needs to have a substantially better product because it's sur-
rounded by competitors.
As far as off-site hotels go, most received an overall rating of B, with the hotel
dining options typically receiving a C rating. However, a wide variety of breakfast,
lunch, and dinner options are available within a short walk, so this should not prevent
you from staying off-site. Among the off-site hotels, the Howard Johnson Anaheim
gets the highest rating from readers.
WALKING TO DISNEYLAND FROM NEARBY HOTELS
WHILE IT IS TRUE THAT MOST DISNEYLAND area hotels provide shuttle service, or are
on the ART routes, it is equally true that an ever-increasing number of guests walk to
the parks from their hotels. Shuttles are not always available when needed, and park-
ing in the Disneyland lot has become pretty expensive. A pedestrian walkway from
Harbor Boulevard provides safe access to Disneyland for guests on foot. This pedes-
trian corridor extends from Harbor Boulevard west to the Disneyland Hotel, connect-
ing Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure, and Downtown Disney.
