Hilton Anaheim
Less than half a mile from Disneyland, it was worth the walk for the safety, quiet, and nice rooms. The amenities were perfect. We had everything we needed. They do offer a shuttle to Disney ($6 per person), but we were happy to walk. This will be my "go-to" hotel when visiting Disneyland.
