What is Hilary Erickson's definitive guide to choosing the best off-property hotels near Disneyland?

I've compiled a list of my favorite off-property hotels near Disneyland, based on various factors like price, distance, and amenities. Here are my top 10 picks:

1. The Viv: This is my absolute favorite. It's affordable, clean, quiet, and has great on-site restaurants. The only downside is the distance to the park, but there's a shuttle service.

2. Best Western Plus Park Place Inn: This is the closest hotel to the park and offers free breakfast.

3. The Anaheim Hotel: It has great rates, spacious rooms, and is within walking distance of Disneyland.

4. Castle Inn & Suites: This was my family's choice when my boys were small. They loved the hotel theming and it's within walking distance from Disneyland.

5. Camelot Hotel: This one is very close and has a great family suite.

6. Tropicana: This hotel is the 2nd most walkable and the rooms are very adequate.

7. JW Marriott: This hotel is really nice and close to Garden walk restaurants.

8. Cambria Inn And Suites Anaheim: This hotel has a waterpark and is great for large families.

9. Residence Inn Resort Area: You can get large rooms for a good price point here.

10. The Courtyard Anaheim Resort Area: This hotel is very walkable, the rooms are nice, and it has a water park.

Remember, every family has different needs and preferences, so I hope you find the perfect match for your family!
