How To Get Cheap Hotels Near Disneyland Under $100

Last Updated on August 9, 2026

Anaheim has a reputation for pricey resort hotels, but there is a real cluster of budget properties within a mile or two of the gates that regularly come in under $100 a night.

You will not get a Disney branded room or a monorail, but you will get a clean bed, a short drive or shuttle ride to the parks, and a lot more left in your travel budget for park days and dining.

Here is a current snapshot of what is actually available under $100 right now, plus a handful of other reliably budget friendly names worth comparing before you book.

What “Cheap” Actually Means Near Disneyland

Most of the sub-$100 options sit along Harbor Boulevard, Katella Avenue, or a few blocks off the Anaheim Resort District, generally somewhere between a five and fifteen minute walk from the Disneyland esplanade, or a short ride on the Anaheim Resort Transit shuttle.

Rooms tend to be smaller and more no-frills than the Disneyland Resort hotels, and amenities vary a lot from property to property, so it is worth checking what is actually included before you book rather than assuming every budget motel has the same basics.

Live Price Picks Right Now

Hotel prices near Disneyland shift daily based on demand, so treat the numbers below as a snapshot rather than a guarantee. Here is what came up under $100 in a recent search.

Bposhtels Anaheim

A 3-star hotel rated 3.7 out of 5 across 253 reviews, currently showing at $43 a night, which the listing flagged as a great price for a 3-star property in the area. It includes free breakfast, free parking, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a bar, an outdoor pool, a restaurant, and full service laundry.

One recent reviewer specifically called out the staff and the breakfast spread, including the yogurt and muffins, as a highlight.

Anaheim Maingate Inn

A 2-star hotel rated 3.0 out of 5 across 647 reviews, listed at $69 a night, marked as 21 percent below its usual rate at the time of the search. It includes free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, kid-friendly accommodations, a smoke-free property, breakfast, and paid parking.

It also comes up as accessible, which is worth knowing if that matters for your group. A recent reviewer praised the price, location, and service together.

Kings Inn Anaheim

A 2-star hotel rated 4.2 out of 5 across roughly 1,600 reviews, listed at $72 a night with no flagged discount, meaning that price reflects its standard rate rather than a temporary deal.

It includes free Wi-Fi, free parking, an outdoor pool, a hot tub, air conditioning, breakfast, accessible rooms, and kid-friendly accommodations.

With the highest review count and rating of the three, it is a solid pick if you want more reviews to base a decision on rather than a newer or smaller property.

Other Reliable Budget Names Worth Comparing

Beyond whatever happens to be discounted on any given day, a handful of Anaheim properties have built a longstanding reputation for landing near or under the $100 mark outside of peak season.

It’s worth cross-checking these against whatever comes up live for your dates.

Castle Inn & Suites

Less than half a mile from Disneyland with free on-site parking, making it a solid pick if you are driving in and want to walk to the gates rather than shuttle.

Desert Palms Hotel & Suites

A consistently well reviewed budget option sitting close to the Anaheim Resort District with suite style rooms, which can be useful if you want a little more space than a standard motel room without paying resort prices.

Anaheim Camelot Inn & Suites

A steady budget choice in the Anaheim Resort area that regularly shows up on value focused lists for Disneyland trips.

Motel 6 Anaheim Convention Center

Recently renovated rooms with a heated outdoor pool and jacuzzi. It is a no-frills stay, but it is also one of the more dependable names for staying well under $100 even during moderately busy stretches.

Days Inn & Suites Anaheim

Free breakfast and free Wi-Fi, plus a Mickey Mouse shaped swimming pool that tends to be a hit with younger kids even though the hotel itself has no official Disney affiliation.

Tips for Actually Booking Under $100

Rates near Disneyland swing hard based on the day of the week and time of year, so flexibility helps more than almost anything else.

Weekday stays and off-peak months like January through March or September into early November tend to run noticeably cheaper than weekends and the stretch around major holidays.

Booking a couple months out generally beats booking last minute, since last minute rooms near the resort tend to skew toward whatever is left rather than the best deal.

Always check whether parking is included before you compare prices head to head. A $69 room with paid parking can end up costing more per night than a $79 room with parking built in, depending on how long you are staying.

It is also worth checking whether a property is on the Anaheim Resort Transit route if you are not renting a car, since that shuttle makes a lot of these budget properties feel a lot closer to the gates than they actually are on foot.

What You Give Up at This Price Point

It is worth setting expectations before you book. Rooms at this price tend to run smaller than what you would get at a Disneyland Resort hotel, and you will not get perks like early park entry, character theming, or a walkable path straight into the esplanade.

Walls can be thinner at older motel properties, and breakfast, when it is included at all, usually means a continental spread rather than a sit down meal.

None of that makes these properties a bad choice, it just means the savings come from cutting extras rather than cutting corners on cleanliness or safety at the properties listed here.

Free Perks Some Budget Hotels Still Include

Even at under $100 a night, a lot of these properties throw in more than you would expect. Free continental breakfast, free parking, and free Wi-Fi show up across most of the list, and several also include an outdoor pool, which matters more than it sounds like after a full day of walking.

A few, like Bposhtels Anaheim, even include a bar and full service laundry, which can be genuinely useful on a longer trip where you do not want to pack for every single day.

Is It Worth Upgrading to a Disneyland Resort Hotel Instead

For some travelers, yes. Staying on Disneyland Resort property gets you early park entry, walking distance to the gates, and Disney theming throughout the hotel, and that convenience is worth the price jump for plenty of families.

But if your priority is spending more days in the parks rather than more time in the hotel room, a clean budget property a short shuttle ride away lets you put that price difference toward park days, dining, or a longer trip instead.

Final Thoughts

A sub-$100 hotel near Disneyland is not a myth, but it does take a little bit of comparison shopping and some flexibility on dates. Check live prices close to your trip, cross-reference against the reliable budget names above, and put whatever you save toward a park day.
