When we decided to take our children to Disneyland this past October we were not interested in spending a ton of money. I booked our package through Allegiant Air and we travelled the short distance from our home on Vancouver Island, B.C. to Bellingham, Washington where we caught our flight to Anaheim. The hotel we chose - the Jolly Roger Inn Anaheim, was an excellent budget option for our family. Given that we took advantage of our 5 days at DL, we really weren't in our room that often so paying a ton of money for a hotel didn't make sense to us.The room we stayed in was clean, cool (it was 45 degrees Celcius during our visit!) and the beds were extremely comfortable. We brought our little sleep machine that plays white noise and slept like babies. The hotel was about a 15 minute walk from DL - sometimes we took the bus back as there isn't a complimentary shuttle. The Anaheim DL transit service is excellent and drops off across from the Jolly Roger. Also across the street is a 7-11 where we would stock up on food and water before entering the park - we saved so much money and ate healthy that way. The 7-11 carried fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, milk and a ton of healthy nuts and snacks. The staff at the Jolly Roger were pleasant and helpful and the pool is lovely. We swam several times to escape the heat and met many nice people (many from Arizona) as we all soaked in the water. I would recommend the Jolly Roger to anyone who isn't concerned about luxury and doesn't mind walking a little. Unfortunately, there aren't any extras such as complimentary fridges or microwaves in rooms, or continental breakfast -that would have been nice. But for the price, it is a great option (and it's excellent that it is so close to such a great convenience store).
Room Tip: I would ask for a room near the back away from the road..And on the upper level.
