Questions about the Best Western Park Place

This will be my 2nd Disneyland trip ever and I was wondering if anyone here had any opinions about the Best Western Park Place across the street from the Esplanade? The location is obviously wonderful and I was able to get a AAA discount for $108 a night and it looks decent enough. Can anyone compare this hotel to the Howard Johnson that is a little bit up the road from this? I hear great things about the HoJo, but it is a decent amount higher and isn't as close. I plan on literally just showering and sleeping, but I still don't want to stay in a total dump either. Thanks!

I haven't stayed there but I've heard from plenty of people that it's just fine and clean. Since you're not looking for something big and just need a place to sleep and shower then you should be good!

I stayed there for Disneyland's 55th. Nice enough room, comfortable bed.

You can do FAR better (like less than half that price) if you use Priceline.com's 'name your price' service ... I have frequently and will be for my upcoming trip.

Check BiddingForTravel.com and BetterBidding.com. ... Just a personal, but highly educated, opinion, but I think your price is absurdly high versus what can be had.

Twice! And I'll be there again next year for the D23 Expo and some park time.

My personal preference in the something stronger category is Louis XIII... If you have any. :cool:

I would value paying $25 or $30 a night for the location of Park Place. Especially since I won't be renting a car and will be walking to the parks.

That was the Anaheim Inn, Mr. Monty. :p BW Park Place is basically right at the crosswalk, with BW Anaheim Inn like two hotels down the way.

In my experience, Anaheim Inn is usually a tad cheaper. I haven't stayed at Park Place, but I have stayed at Anaheim Inn a few times and have always had a fantastic stay. The difference in distance isn't a problem, it tacks on like an extra minute of walking, heh.

OK, so I remembered a BW across the street... **Sigh**

At least I had good neighbours... :cool:

I looked at them, but the price is less than $10 difference from what I could tell. Basically the same thing. Thanks for the heads up though.

I'm shocked, Monty. ... Pleased too! ... When were you last out?

And, no, I don't even have any cheap wine let alone Louis XIII ... but you rich Canadians can afford it all. I should be nicer to you and maybe I can get you to buy me a cheap Dole Whip one day!:D

Everyone is different. I don't need to be across the street.

My point was far better values exist. Yes, you may have to take a 5-minute bus ride, but there are so many options.

For my visit in January (sorta an unplanned one since there was a death in the family) I wound up at the Fullerton Marriott (a very nice hotel with no parking or resort fees) for $50 a night. Yeah, I had a 10-minute drive up Harbor Blvd. to DL, but I didn't care because the value for the hotel was well worth it ... and 10 minutes may be what it takes just to walk from your room to a bus stop at a WDW value or moderate resort!

LOLz! No need to be "nicer", if we ever happen to meet I'd be honoured to buy you a Dole Whip. While we trade barbs on occasion, I think we'd get along just fine in person. :cool:

I first went to DL in 2004, then for D55 and planning is under way for next year's Expo. After I retire, I'll attempt Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai and Paris, just not all on one trip.

No, just wasn't paying enough attention to realise there were two Best Western hotels in spitting distance of each other.

Stayed there July 18-23, had a blast. Got the same AAA rate and being directly across the street was amazing! You get what you pay for; the beds were not amazingly comfortable but I slept fine after doing the parks all day. There aren't crazy amenities or anything, but the location can't be beat and I would definitely stay there again.

What is the parking situation here? Looking to go next June and we will have a car. Are there a lot of spaces? Are they tiny spaces?
