Candy Cane VS Disneyland Hotel??

[christiii]

Hey there!!
ok, my mom and I care comming to Disneyland on April 11th, and staying maybe 4 nites...I have the disneyland hotel booked for $159 for Fri and Sat, and $119 after that...we always end up back at the DL hotel after trying other ones, but I just hate the $159 price!
Ive stayed at the Hilton, West coast Marriott and looked at a few others, but the the thing I hate a lot about these hotels is the communal bus that has to stop at allll the hotels first...The hilto used to have their own, but now they have had to switch to the mass transit ones too...anyhoo...I know I LOVE the Disneyland hotel, but was thinking maybe I could do a few nites in another one that is really close, and hopefully really nice, and then go to the DL hotel on Sunday for my $119 rate...any suggestions?? How do the others stack up?? Help!!
P.S. Ill also be there on the 8th (Im working in Pomona for the week) for the Pooh preview..so I hope to meet some of you guys!!

I have yet to stay at the DLH, so I can't make a direct comparison. I did enjoy the Candy Cane Inn when we stayed there two nights last week.

Nice rooms for the price, friendly staff, short walk to the parks, continental breakfast. They have their own shuttle that runs every half hour from about one half hour before the gates open until just after Main street closes; though the walk is so short we didn't use it.

I don't think I have ever read a bad reiview of the Candy Cane.

The Radisson Maingate is also pretty nice. A little bit further walk but if you get a room on one of the upper floors you get a decent view of the parks.

Those are the only hotels I've stayed at so far.

thanks so much for the info1! What was your rate for last week?? Id love to know the high and low prices there...so I know If Im getting a good rate or not Eeek Disne

It was, I think $87 per night. It came out to $200.10 after taxes etc..

A few notes, it was mid-week, the hotel seemed pretty full, and we booked the night before the trip directly with the hotel (last minute change of plans). Those factors could affect the rate, up or down, I suppose.
