Fodor's "The most opulent of Disney's Anaheim hotels, this Craftsman-style luxury property has guest rooms with views of the California Adventure park and Downtown Disney." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The price tag is a bit steep at this 751-room resort designed in richly wooded Craftsman style, but standard rooms sleep up to two adults and four kids."
Frommer's "Disney didn't miss the details when constructing this enormous version of an Arts and Crafts-era lodge... hiring craftspeople... to contribute one-of-a-kind tiles, furniture, sculpture, and artwork." Full review
Jetsetter "Disney's Grand Californian is the first hotel to be built inside a Disney park, and the American Craftsman hotel combines luxe amenities with family fun — and function." Full review

If you want to avoid lines, book The Magic Morning package offered to guests of the three Disneyland Resort hotels that lets you into the park an hour before the official 8 A.M. opening.
Lonely Planet "Soaring timber beams rise above the cathedral-like lobby of the six-story Grand Californian, Disney’s homage to the Arts and Crafts architectural movement."
Travel + Leisure "Disneyland's choicest digs, done in traditional Craftsman style. In addition to kid- and adult-friendly fare, California Adventure Park is just a turnstile away. Everybody wins." Full review
Time Out "This Disney hotel aims to blur the lines between luxury and fantasy: the 745-room property is effectively an extension to Disney's California Adventure." Full review
Michelin Guide "Built in early 20C Craftsman style, this hotel is reminiscent of the great national-park lodges."
Star Service "Service is friendly, but ebbs and flows like the tide. Nevertheless, effort is always on the table, and there's nothing the staff won't do to please." Full review
Gayot "This luxury hotel redefines the Disneyland you know and love by providing top quality, even lavish accommodations for discerning theme park guests."

Frommer's "The CBS Studios across the street recommends the budget motel to its game show fans, but I recommend it just because I dig this chic little lodge." Full review

Request a room facing the alley -- the view is terrible, but you don't get the 24-hour road noise off Fairfax Avenue.
Concierge "You won't find actual farmers here, but the famous Farmers Market is just a short walk from this cute, family-owned hotel."
Fodor's "A favorite of The Price Is Right and American Idol hopefuls... this motel has a tongue-in-cheek country style: rooms are upholstered in blue gingham with denim bedspreads." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Denim bedspreads and rocking chairs give this flirty motel a groovy farmhouse vibe." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The “price is right” at this motel opposite the Original Farmers Market and CBS, which explains show contestants taping at the TV studio."
Rough Guide "Conveniently located across from (naturally) the Farmers Market,this is a newly renovated boutique property with internet access, DVD players, flat-screen TVs and elements of Midwestern kitsch."
Travel + Leisure "Straddling the line between Hollywood and West Hollywood/Beverly Hills, the Farmer’s Daughter Hotel offers travelers a bit of Southern hospitality in the City of Angels." Full review
Time Out "You can tell instantly that this was once a basic motel. It's a credit to the new owners of the gingham-giddy Farmer's Daughter that it feels pretty fresh." Full review
Star Service "Solo travelers will fit comfortably into the single rooms, but the larger double rooms are best for two travelers. Rooms with glimpses of the Hollywood sign are popular." Full review
Gayot "In a city where facelifts don't always work out the way one hopes they will, this family-owned motel has nothing to worry about."
