Agreed! I’d rather hear ALL about it and decide for myself which things are deal-breakers, and which are not a problem for me.

Wow! The Westin looks like a lovely hotel to stay in. Not a bad distance from the parks either to get an uber from. It really does look like a great convention hotel option too if anyone is there for a convention. Fantastic room tour. It looks like a great place to stay. Westin bubble to Disney bubble, love it! Awesome review as always :)

The Westin is a fantastic choice but it is a little ways away. Uber is probably the best bet to get to the park. We are at Disney World this week and we took your advice and stayed away from the shakin Jamaican today

This is one of the hotels that really grabs by attention, it looks great. The distance might be an issue for some but the ART shuttle is such a great service.

We have stayed 3 times and book a Park view. It is so worth it. I don't even remember much noise from Katella. but we did hear our neighbour the one time we had an adjoining room. I think even the "pool view" would be quiter.

So sorry for the late reply! Really good to know! We for sure want to stay again and check out the view rooms. Will make sure to request a room without an adjoining door. We really enjoyed our stay at the Westin and are looking forward to staying there again. Thank you for watching☺️

Looks like a really nice option. Good tip on the uber because that seems to resolve the only downside I saw (the walk). 👍

Sorry for the late reply, we have been on vacation. Thank you for the kind words. We have stayed at the Anaheim hotel, but we didn’t have the greatest experience. We stayed there during the summer in 2020 and the whole area had issues at their hotels. The particular room we had was in a little bit of dis-repair but nothing major. We stayed in building 5 and thought the walls were very thin. We have had friends stay since Disneyland reopened and they have had good stays there. It is a no frills place that has a good lobby bar and pizza press. The grounds are nice and has one of the better pools. If you are super sensitive to noise, you might want to pack ear plugs as a precaution. We are looking to stay there again on one of our future trips.

Hi Jim and Crystal. Question in November I'm sure they will be decorated for Christmas. Do you think there will be much of the 100 celebration decorations up still. Thanks Becky

Hi! So sorry for the late response. We are on vacation. That is a great question. I reached out in the app through the chat feature, and the cast member said they have not been given an end date for the 100 celebration as of right now. Hopefully they will still be there during that time! Thank you for watching ☺️

I’ve stayed at the Westin twice and had noise issues as well with the room that faced the back - noise from the parking structure and also jackhammers in the construction zone just next door (to the west) of the hotel. The other time I was in a room in the west wing that faced the courtyard with a peek of a park view if I stepped out on the Juliet balcony and looked to the left. There was traffic noise from Katella at all hours and one night after midnight I was awakened by what I found out later was a “street takeover” or “sideshow” that was happening in the intersection of Katella and Disneyland Drive. This was mid June 2022 and I was on a solo trip and that incident was pretty scary (although it didn’t make the news because nobody died). I found out later that the street takeovers are a “thing”. I’m not sure where a good quiet room location could be more or less guaranteed at the Westin, maybe in the main section high floor park view away from elevators and no adjoining doors. I want to love the hotel but… after staying at the Disneyland Hotel it’s hard to go back outside of the bubble. There are intangibles that are worth money to me.

We heard about that sideshow from one of our viewers. That viewer stated it was pretty scary with everything that went on and the noise. Disneyland hotel is our favorite on property hotel and it is hard to beat. The main drawback is the price. At least this hotel is more protected from street noise. As far as Westin, we will try it out again ourselves at some point and we are hoping there isn’t a lot of noise. Thanks for leaving a comment about your experience and sorry for the late reply. We are at Disney World right now.

First, I want to thank you for all of your hotel reviews. They helped me a lot when I picked a hotel for my family’s first visit to Anaheim in June 2023 ( We went with Candy Cane and loved it. You can’t beat free breakfast and free parking and free transportation to and from the parks). Second, We want to go back next year and I see the hotel prices are considerably higher than this year. Is there something going on in Anaheim next June that I am missing? Third, Is there a hotel that is a favorite of yours that you would stay at with no hesitation whatsoever? Thank you so much!!!

Phil, The hotel prices are getting crazier and crazier in the Anaheim area. Just when you think it is topping out, the ceiling goes higher. The only thing we know on the schedule is a two day convention and grad nights again. Candy Cane does offer a discount for returning guests. So we were just trip planning for our final trip for this year. I (Jim) have to have surgery here shortly and we were looking for reasonably priced hotels that were close to Disneyland. We settled on Alpine Inn and Howard Johnson. We have stayed at both in the past and like them quite a bit. The 1 bedroom suite was fantastic at Alpine Inn, it was perfect for a family at a reasonably price (this video is posted). We are staying in a standard room later this year. Desert Palms has a variety of room configurations and this tends to be a reasonably priced hotel. This is located next door to the Alpine Inn and Candy Cane. They offer a free breakfast. I didn't care for the beds but Crystal didn't mind them. Home2 Suites was one of our favorites as well. Newer Hilton Hotel that offers a hot breakfast. Wyndham Anaheim -Their prices have been tracking high when we looked last. Westin- We think this is probably the nicest hotel in the area. I would suggest a park view room as the back can get a little noisy if you plan on sleeping in. Sheraton at The Park- This hotel was fantastic, it was quiet and it is an easy walk to Disneyland or walk to the Toy Story lot. There is also an ART stop right on property. This is one of my favorites. Cambria- This is a bit further away but you can walk to the Toy Story lot or take the ART shuttle. Just take into account that if you have to park, the parking fee and the resort fee do run high. The hotel does offer free breakfast and there are a number of restaurants located in the same vincinity as the hotel. Grand Legacy - This might be a good option but we would recommend staying in the luxury room and requesting a room on a lower floor. We had a fantastic night sleep here. We would not pay for a view room, our room did not face harbor and it was very quiet. Howard Johnsons- This has always been one of our go to hotels. We love it if the price is right. We will be staying in a view room on our next trip. My hunch is, that the Sheraton and Cambria will probably have the best pricing. I personally loved the Sheraton even though it was a bit further away. I hope this is a good start and we have zero issues helping you out more if you need more recommendations. We are getting ready to do some traveling tomorrow and there might be some delays. Also thank you and we are so happy our videos help out.

Thank you so much we appreciate the kind comment! I am happy we aren't the only ones that though the back of the hotel was a bit noisy. It is probably worth the upgrade to get a theme park view if the noise is too much. For us, it only bothered us one morning since we were planning on sleeping in.
