For walking to the marathon staging area the Holiday Inn Suites on Ball Road is very convenient. It's too far to walk to the parks though. But you can get a free pass for the Anaheim Resort Transportation shuttles (ART) during the marathon weekend. I would think everything in the area would be family friendly. Not really sure what that means.

my personal favorite was the Jolly Roger Hotel. It kinda looked like a dump but it was cheaper. Sadly they've torn it down. 
That being said, I have stayed at the Clarion hotel. It was very nice (though an earthquake hit while we were staying there), and it is within somewhat reasonable walking distance. I think it was a mile or so from the park entrance, so it's a bit of a 20-25 min walk, but not bad. The other place was the Best Western across the street from the Disneyland entrance, but that hotel has suites and so unless your with a big group, it can be more pricey.

Always had good luck with the Howard Johnson. Reasonably priced, free parking and attentive staff. Easy 5 minute walk to main gate and close to many restaurants (Mimi's Café next door)
