STANFORD INN & SUITES ANAHEIM, Anaheim

The hotel sits on Harbor Boulevard, 2 km from Disneyland's main entrance - an easy 20-minute walk or a quick ride on the ART shuttle, which stops directly outside and runs every 30 minutes. The Anaheim Convention Center is a 10-minute walk, ideal for conference attendees. Within a block are Joe's Italian Ice, Carl's Jr, Pho Ha Plus, Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles, and several other casual eateries. A Target store is two blocks away for supplies. For airport transfers, John Wayne Airport is about 20 minutes by car; no hotel shuttle is available, but rideshares and the EVE app provide options.

All rooms include a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Standard rooms offer two queen beds, while family suites feature a separate room with a twin-over-twin bunk bed plus two queen beds and two bathrooms - comfortably sleeping up to six. Rooms are spacious but basic in style; some have a carpeted floor and safe. There are no balconies. The property is a two-story motel layout with exterior corridors. Light sleepers may want to request an upper-floor room away from the road, as street-facing rooms can be noisy. Cleanliness is generally consistent, but a few rooms have reported musty odours - quickly reporting any issues to front desk usually resolves them.

Breakfast is included for all registered guests. The buffet offers a rotating selection of hot items (eggs, sausage, potatoes), Belgian waffle makers, toast, muffins, bagels, cereals, oatmeal, yogurt, fresh fruit, coffee, juice, and milk. The dining area is small, so peak times can be busy with limited seating. For guests wanting a wider variety or earlier meal before park opening, many fast-food options are within a five-minute walk (Carl's Jr, Jack in the Box, Denny's) and a Target for groceries is nearby. There is no on-site restaurant or bar.

The pool and hot tub are open from 9 AM to 11 PM year-round, with pool towels provided at the front desk. The fitness centre contains a few cardio machines and free weights; note that equipment availability may be limited. The pool area includes outdoor furniture and a picnic area, making it a pleasant spot to relax after a day at the parks. There is no spa on site.

Parking is private on-site and costs $17.55 per night (plus tax); no reservation needed, and you can leave your car after check-out. A $100 deposit is required at check-in (credit/debit) or $200 cash. The front desk operates 24 hours and can assist with early check-in (fee applies), luggage storage, and setting up the ART shuttle app. Daily housekeeping is included; laundry (coin-operated) and free fax/photocopying are available. Business amenities are limited, but the work desk and free WiFi support light tasks. The property has no elevator - all rooms are accessible via stairs, but ground-floor handicap rooms are available.
