The HoJo on Harbor! You won't be disappointed. - LaPearleNoir  621.4 #180 9:44AM

I love the HoJo, but another rec is the Sheraton on DL Dr. They have a free shuttle, it's a fairly nice hotel, and if you have AAA the rates are often around $100 which is cheaper than the HOJO. - mouseprincess  307.9 #585 2:59PM

I did an entry on saving money on hotels on my blog: themagicisfree.wordpress.com. I confess, when I'm at DL, I'm not the least bit picky about my hotel. All I need is a bed & shower, since I spend all my time in the parks. As long as the ac works, there are no bugs, and I can walk to the park, I'm a happy camper. Having said that, I've gotten rooms for about $40/night, including taxes through an app called cb travel. I like to stay on katella and cut through the Grand to get to the park. Hope this helps! - LittleAprilShowers  500.8 #241 3:28PM

I use Priceline and bid $50 for a 3.5 star hotel..always get a very nice place to stay. All are within a couple miles from the park and offer shuttle service. - ladylikesdisneysmom  267.1 #874 3:38PM
