BEST WESTERN PLUS RAFFLES INN & SUITES, Anaheim

The hotel is about 2 km (a 15-20 minute walk) from the Disneyland main entrance, and the Toy Story parking lot-where free Disney shuttles run every few minutes-is just 2-3 minutes on foot. The Anaheim Convention Center is a 5-minute walk across the street. Several restaurants are within 0.5 km, including Denny's, Mi Casa Mexicana, and Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles. The ART shuttle bus picks up next to the hotel for $6/day (adult) and $2.50/day (child 3-9), providing direct service to the parks. Driving to South Coast Plaza Mall takes about 15 minutes. The area is well-lit and feels safe for walking, even at night.

There is no on-site restaurant or bar for lunch or dinner. Several casual dining options are within a 5-minute walk.

The fitness centre offers standard equipment and is free to use. A spa/wellness centre is listed as available but its status during construction should be confirmed at check-in.
