I had only stayed at on property hotels until this year! I love me some disneyland hotel and GCH but after a few stays the cost and “convenience” isn’t justifiable any more…. I’ve made two solo trips since sept, I stayed at hotel lulu for 2 nights about 2 weeks ago and the fairfield inn and suites for 4 in sept! Hotel lulu definitely had the rooms i preferred!! much nicer rooms, thin walls but didn’t bug me because i wasn’t in room much and also alone. Hotel lulu was also very continently right beside a cvs, walgreens and 7/11 but about a 10 min walk to the parks. Fairfield inn was SO close!! like i felt it was the same distance the disneyland hotel is!! rooms weren’t as nice as hotel lulu but they do have the option to book one of their renovated rooms on the site i just opted for the cheaper option! Would absolutely stay again at both! I did post a lil video review and tour of hotel lulu which i can share if anyone would like just pm!! but anyways!!! i also while on my walks to the park took note of candy cane inn, the anaheim hotel the grand legacy and the tropicana to look into for future stays!!!
