We booked a room at Econo Lodge North in Anaheim because all the hotels near Disneyland were full or extremely expensive due to a large convention in town. The Econo Lodge was affordable, had what we needed, and was an easy fifteen minute drive to the Disneyland Resort via local roads. The five freeway is shorter, but we used local roads to avoid any freeway and convention traffic.
The motel is an older, remodeled building that has two floors and rooms accessible from the outdoors. Parking spaces are adjacent to the rooms and surrounding a pool. We stayed for seven nights and there appeared to be many empty rooms on the weeknights while Friday and Saturday the motel seemed full.
The room had the basics plus a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, and hair dryer. The room was clean and functional with only two minor exceptions. The lamp shades were stained and the sink and tub did not have drain plugs so they could not be filled if one wanted a basin or tub full of water. Other than that I can think of no complaints. In fact, for the price we paid ($50/night with AAA card) I was pleased with the comfortableness of the room, and I feel we got a fair deal.
The staff was friendly and conversational when we visited the office in the morning for a bite to eat before heading to Disneyland or California Adventure each day. Coffee, Sunny Delite, toast, muffins, and danishes were provided from 7-10 am.
This is simply a basic motel with a few nice extras and it delivered what it advertised. It's an Econo Lodge, not a Hilton, so my rating of "Above Average" is with that in mind, but I do feel it was above average for an economy motel, and I would recommend it to those on a budget.
