I have a question for all of you out of towners! I'll be making a trip to DL on the 19th (2 night stay) and I will have to book a hotel. I want to stay somewhere cheap... But I don't want to end up with bed bugs!!! Where do you stay and what would you suggest? I hope the responses help out other MWers like me! Thanks!

Try the Howard Johnson, it's t the official hotel of MouseWait! Plus if you mention you are a Mouse Waiter you'll get a discount!!! - WaltSentMe  316.9 #540 12:50PM
I would like to try to keep it under $100 a night... Not sure if HoJo can do that or not. I'm sure it's a lovely place! - SassyKittyMeow  358.1 #396 12:52PM
Call hojo directly and and ask about MW and AP discount, also ask about retro rate if available. - donnievegas  1127.5 #73 1:00PM
When available, the retro rate is as low as $59/night! - bluefairy  627.4 #174 1:13PM
Thanks! I'll call tomorrow! - SassyKittyMeow  358.1 #396 12:23AM
I always stay at La Quinta. Use the corporate code LOVES for a discount. Also try priceline's "name your own price" option. - Armenda  994.9 #89 1:03PM
I highly suggest Pricelines name your own price. - mochamistie  272.8 #805 3:16PM
Priceline is the way to go!!! When it's really busy and hard to get a good priceline deal we have stayed at Extended stay America two exits from Disneyland!!! - Rob512  755.1 #134 11:50PM
My fav place to say is the anaheim plaza..right across the street and rooms are like $60 - CM_DJDopey  23.2 #4809 1:04PM
We stayed there in December - GREAT value. Big rooms and very clean. - TonjaC  278.1 #748 3:17PM
We like to save money for the mouse! We usually stay at the Super 8 on Katella for under 50 bucks a night. It's the cleanest one we've found for that price, is about a 10 minute walk to the gate and they have a decent continental breakfast! - cynDOLEwhip  744.1 #137 2:55PM
We jist got back and stayed at Mariot Suites Anahiem. Got room for 60.00 per night friday and saturday through Priceline. Room was 169.00 regular. - BigDave2328  3.4 #18898 3:08PM
can you give me tips on the best way to get the marriott suites off priceline? what area did you pick and star and how much? I heard someone last night got it for 46 a night in April off priceline for those of you not familiar with betterbidding dot com it is a great place to get tips on hotel bidding!!! - Happybrandison  242.3 #1086 3:20PM
I have always had success with Priceline Bid Now. - lostboy20  25.3 #4656 3:44PM
DM me your email and I'll tell you what I did!! - AshleyLynn22  747.6 #136 9:44PM
Did you get my DM back? - AshleyLynn22  747.6 #136 11:16PM
There is a Holiday Inn on Walnut (I think that was the street name....) , behind the Mickey and Friends structure, and I got it for well under $100 a night on Hotwire. It was pretty nice too. I always use those types of websites to find cheap rooms and haven't been disappointed yet. I do not recommend Days Inn on Harbor, just past Ball Rd. The shower was not hot at all.  - Jillian  765.4 #129 11:45PM
The HoJo, call and see if they have retro rates for when you are staying. - lovesminnie  437.2 #284 12:51PM
HoJo - Villescas8(V8)  589.1 #186 12:51PM
All mw'rs stay at the hojo and we get discounts :) - PrinceTeaJack  786.3 #120 12:55PM
I absolutely love HoJo, but also understand having a budget... I recommend Hotel Menage Anaheim Boutique. According to Hotels.com it's available for $99 right now. It's walking distance, and very nice staff. Whatever you do, avoid Ramada!! - KylaShea  533.2 #214 12:57PM
Love - MousekaNinja  335.8 #448 8:05PM
I guess I'll give them a call!!! - SassyKittyMeow  358.1 #396 12:58PM
We stay at the Red Roof Inn in Buena Park. It's about 45.00 a night if you look up the promo code options before you book.... Check around. There's done good deals out there. - Donna1988  194.6 #1706 12:58PM
We just stayed at the Cortona Inn for $79. It's right on the ART route and a really nice hotel. - Mickey82  285.7 #697 1:00PM
Everyone will tell you Hojo, lol. I've never stayed there, but MWers love it. And yes, I believe you can stay for under $100 per night. You'll need to call in-house reservations and ask for the MW discount. Alternatively, my husband and I use Priceline's name-your-own-price option, and for under $75/night including parking, we have stayed at the Convention Center Hilton, both Holiday Inns, Marriott Suites (on Harbor), and Staybridge Suites--all of them were clean (obviously some had better amenities and were closer to DL than others). - Spoonful_O_Sugar  436.3 #285 1:03PM
We always stay at the Plaza Inn and Suites, super close, very clean rooms and we just got two nights for $160! - LisaMouse7531  409.1 #318 1:05PM
We stay at the portofino. Book through orbits and google 10% promo codes. You can use it on any hotel they have listed...... NEVER stay at the red lion unless you want to sleep with cockroaches the size of your palm!!!! No joke! - Tinkertoes83  7.9 #7658 2:43PM
Thanks for all the info you guys! - SassyKittyMeow  358.1 #396 2:48PM
I use priceline and name my own price. I only pick 3 or 4 star hotels. Very nice places within a mile of the park. All of them offer shuttle service, sometimes free cookies or breakfast. I have never paid more than 55 a night. I have done this about 7 times in the past year, and I am always very happy! - ladylikesdisneysmom  267.1 #858 2:56PM
Don't you end up paying a lot for parking at the more expensive hotels and the cost is not figured into the priceline bid? - Polkadobo  372.1 #372 3:18PM
Parking just depends on the hotel, and I've never been charged more than $10/night. It's still a good deal if you get a bid of, say $40/night. We recently got the Marriott Suites for 45/night with no extra fees. - Spoonful_O_Sugar  436.3 #285 3:23PM
I went onto Priceline to try this... It wanted all my info upfront. Is this normal? - SassyKittyMeow  358.1 #396 3:25PM
Yep! They don't tell you what you get ahead of time. It made me nervous at first, too, but we've never had a bad experience. - Spoonful_O_Sugar  436.3 #285 3:46PM
We just stayed at the radisson suites in buena park for $50 a night with priceline. free parking, free breakfast and every room was a suite with a sleep number bed. it was perfect! - mochamistie  272.8 #805 10:43PM
Best Western Stovall Inn usually under $100 short walking distance and REALLY nice beds :) - likethewindbullseye  187.5 #1783 3:26PM
Also check hotels.com - tigntink  179.3 #1875 3:46PM
ItWe are at the hojo right this minute (for the first time). We got the retro rate of $69 for the night and it is SOOOO nice! Clean, friendly, short walk to DL, the a/c ROCKS (its soo hot out today that's important!) And the beds are suuuuper comfy. I'm sold and we're definitely coming back again! There's also a great little market in the hotel! :) - LoveDland  300.7 #610 3:54PM
how do you get a retro rate - Happybrandison  242.3 #1086 7:42PM
@Madbrandsmom...go to the Resources tab to check out when HoJo offers retro rates. Also must have an AP...I think :o) - HadMatter  351.2 #410 7:54PM
@hadmatter resources tab on hojo site or here? I cant find it? - Happybrandison  242.3 #1086 8:08PM
I just went to google and typed in howard johnson anaheim retro rate and it lists all the dates... :) - LoveDland  300.7 #610 9:43PM
Hojo has a MW rate and an AP rate. - SupremeLeader  394.0 #341 8:04PM
I'm going in a week staying at the quality in and suites real cheap and free breakfast. - marinepuma  226.6 #1290 8:10PM
I got a retro rate at HoJo for a kids suite for $129 a night! You can't beat it for the size of the room (2 separate rooms in one) and proximity to the parks! - fanofthemouse2  8.8 #7221 9:12PM
Howard Johnson! - Pintraderswife  458.5 #265 9:18PM
On Priceline, we stated at The Marriott for $80 on a Saturday night! Good luck! - NurseJennJillO  307.5 #574 9:36PM
I love priceline. I paid 70 dollars per night for Sheraton hotel last year. For my upcoming trip, I paid 50dollars for embassy suites north. Not an ideal walking distance hotel but it comes with free parking and free breakfast. Amazeballs! - karshla  68.7 #3440 11:02PM
My boyfriend and I stayed at the America's best inn Anaheim. $56 a night. Newly renovated. Clean. About 2 miles from the park. Shuttle available. free parking. Good cable tv. I booked through hotels.com :) good luck. Have fun! - little_lilo  5.5 #9698 11:08PM
Don't stay at the best western park place across the street from Disneyland I just stayed there during presidents day weekend an they had what the call water bugs but if you ask me they were roaches! Gross never again beware - Mari-Belle  111.5 #2889 11:09PM
Ugh stayed there once...not to be rude but it was sketchy. - AshleyLynn22  747.6 #136 11:15PM
Midnight snacks are free there, cool place! - madsdad  1130.7 #72 11:27PM
