Looking for a hotel near Disneyland with free parking AND free breakfast AND a free shuttle ride to the parks?
Located less than a mile away from Disneyland, the Days Inn Anaheim is a budget-friendly hotel offering lots of free perks and a comfortable stay close to the parks. Some people say the Days Inn Anaheim is the best cheap hotel near Disneyland, and considering the bang you’ll get for the buck, I tend to agree!
When considering where to stay near Disneyland, there are lots of options ranging from luxury resorts to cheap motels. Days Inn Anaheim falls comfortably toward the cheaper side, but it offers an array of amenities you literally won’t find anywhere else. It is one of the only (if not the only!) hotels near Disneyland with free shuttle and breakfast, and free parking too.
We have stayed at numerous hotels near Disneyland, and recently had the chance to try the Days Inn Anaheim. While not super fancy, it is clean and comfortable, has a nice pool that gets the job done on a hot day, and a continental breakfast that will fill your family’s bellies before a fun day at the theme parks.
If you are traveling on a budget, this is a great hotel to consider for your Disneyland vacation! Keep reading for some of the great features that make the Days Inn Anaheim one of the best budget hotels near Disneyland.
Here is everything you need to know about the Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Anaheim at Disneyland Park.

Rooms at Days Inn Anaheim
The Days Inn rooms are bright, clean and fairly spacious, with all the basic room amenities you would expect to find. You can choose from a king room or two queen beds.
All rooms are located off exterior corridors, which I don’t normally love, but is on par for this style of lodging. And it sure makes it convenient to park right near your room or by the stairs if you are staying on the second floor.
All the rooms include coffee makers and a fridge. Bathrooms provide all the usual amenities and are a decent size.
Days Inn Pool
Days Inn Anaheim has an outdoor pool and hot tub.
One thing we didn’t love (but might not bother you) is the motel-style layout puts the pool right in the center of the parking lot, meaning you have to walk between cars and watch for traffic to get from your room to the pool.
But the pool itself – if not huge – is a nice size and has spots around it to sit in the shade. No lounge chairs though, which honestly is fine. This is really not the kind of hotel where you’re going to want to lounge around in the sun all day.
Dining Options
Days Inn Anaheim offers a free continental breakfast daily. The offerings are not grand, but they do include the usual spread of pastries, waffles, juice and coffee. You can take the food back to your room or eat in the small lobby.
The food was fine, but if you prefer something more elaborate there are honestly nicer hotels near Disneyland with free breakfast to check out. However, if you just want to grab something quick before heading to the parks, it will do just fine.
Aside from the continental breakfast offered daily at the Days Inn Anaheim, food offerings at the hotel are limited (though there are vending machines if you get desperate for a midnight snack).
Days Inn Anaheim does not have a restaurant on site. However, the hotel is located right next door to one. There are also many restaurants just a short walk down Harbor Boulevard toward Disneyland, including Panera, Mimi’s Café, Shakey’s, and even a McDonalds. And of course, you will also find tons of fabulous dining options in Downtown Disney, adjacent to the parks.
Disneyland Hotel with Free Shuttle, Breakfast and Parking!
Perhaps the best thing about this Days Inn hotel near Disneyland is all the freebies they throw in with your stay.
There are (unfortunately!) only a few hotels in Anaheim that offer a free shuttle to Disneyland – and the Days Inn is one of them! Most hotels charge for shuttle service. When you factor in that this hotel also offers free parking and free breakfast, you can see why staying here is one of the best deals in Anaheim.
With parking rates at other area hotels costing as much as $30 per night or more, this perk alone is huge.
Taking the free shuttle to Disneyland will save you even more money – another $35 per day for parking on-site.
How often does the Days Inn free shuttle to Disneyland run?
The shuttle runs several times throughout the day, making its first run from the hotel 20 minutes before the park opens, and the last run back 30 minutes after closing. The times and number of runs in between varies throughout the year, so ask the front desk for the current shuttle schedule when you check in.
If you are going to catch the first shuttle of the day, get to the shuttle stop (located right by the hotel’s main lobby) early and line up, as the shuttle is small and typically fills up.
