Disneyland Resort
Clarion Hotel Anaheim Review
March 15, 2024
1 Comments

Are you looking for a value hotel near Disneyland Resort? We love helping families get to Disneyland Resort and understand that staying on budget is everything.

Along with exploring all that Orange County has to offer, including Disneyland Resort, Get Away Today does it all like riding the coasters at Knott’s Berry Farm, “powering up” at Universal Studios Hollywood, and strolling through the Downtown Disney entertainment district. With so much to learn and take in—narrowing down a hotel can be a tough decision.

Luckily for you, our entire team visited Clarion Hotel during our tours in February 2024. We have the entire scoop for you here.

Keeping your budget in mind, we group our hotel listings into three categories:
  1. Deluxe Property
  2. Moderate Property
  3. Value Property
This article reviews Clarion Hotel which falls under the Value category. Below we’ll discuss our favorite things about the property along with everything you need to know to decide if it is right for you.

Clarion Hotel Snapshot

The Clarion Hotel Anaheim is one of our very most popular value hotels near Disneyland, and for good reason. It has all of the features of a full-service hotel, but without the hefty price tag.

What it lacks in fanciness, it makes up for in warmth and service. Plus, when you book with Get Away Today, you get exclusive perks. We've broken everything down by rooms, amenities, dining options and location.
  • Category: Value
  • Corporate Brand: Independent
  • Sleeps up To: Six guests
  • Transportation: Walk to Disneyland
  • Check In/Out Time: 4:00 pm / 11:00 am
  • Get Away Today Perks: Discounted parking, Kids 9 and under eat breakfast free with each paying adult
Location: At Clarion Hotel you'll be close to everything nearby from Disneyland Resort, the Toy Story parking lot with a free shuttle to the parks, Anaheim Garden Walk and more.

As you may be able to tell by now, we love the location of the Clarion. If you're planning on going to the Convention Center, you won't find a better location. If you're headed to Disneyland (which is most likely), you're just over a half mile walk.

Or, you can opt to take the Anaheim Resort Transit system, or ART for short. The Clarion sells ART passes on-site, but you can purchase them with Get Away Today beforehand.

As you can see, the Clarion has many perks besides being one of the friendly hotels near Disneyland.

Clarion Hotel Rooms

There are three room types at the Clarion Hotel Anaheim; standard rooms and studio suites. Both of the rooms feature two extra long double beds, a mini fridge and similar decor. The major difference between the two rooms is that the studio suite has a sofa pull out bed and a microwave.

The studio is also 30% larger than the standard rooms. While the studio suites can technically sleep up to six guests, we only recommend that if you are traveling with small children. The sofa bed is smaller than a standard sofa bed, and would be more comfortable for a family of five or smaller. The standard rooms comfortably sleep four guests.

We also offer a king standard room for couples or solo travelers looking for a larger bed. Although the rooms are nothing fancy, they are comfortable and kept up well.

Clarion Hotel Pools & Dining

Clarion Hotel offers a number of amenities that you'd expect from a higher end property. You'll get free WiFi in your room as well as throughout the property. The Clarion also has a gift shop, game room, fitness center, full-service concierge desk, coin operated laundry service and other services.

The Clarion has a large outdoor swimming pool that is heated year round. It even offers poolside service! One thing to note is that the Clarion Hotel does not have a hot tub. If that's important to you when booking a hotel for your Disneyland vacation, you may want to find another property.

Parking at the Clarion Hotel Anaheim is available on-site. Self park is normally $24 per night (at time of publishing), but when you book with Get Away Today, it's only $10 per night. If you're staying for a few nights, those savings can really add up. It's one of the exclusive perks we mentioned at the beginning of the article.

The Clarion Hotel Anaheim has one in-house restaurant, the Palm Tree Cafe, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. When we get guest reviews about the Clarion, nearly everyone comments on how amazing the wait staff is at the Palm Tree Cafe.

If you're looking for something beyond the Palm Tree Cafe, you won't have to go far. Because the Clarion is located so close to the Convention Center and other hotels, there are tons of options within a few minutes walk.

Book Your Stay at Clarion Hotel

Our most popular package for Disneyland Resort vacations comes with your hotel stay and 3 day park hopper tickets. That way you can explore both theme parks and have extra time to see and do all those extra favorites like shows, entertainment and popular rides.

Overall, we love the Clarion Hotel for its warm people and the value that it offers. If you're used to staying at higher end hotels, the Clarion may not be the best choice for you. However, if you're spending most of your time in the parks at Disneyland, or are just looking for getting the most bang for your buck, the Clarion is likely a good fit.

You can book your Disneyland vacation online or call our agents at 855-GET-AWAY to talk to any of our reservation specialists. Either way, we'd love to help you decide if the Clarion Hotel Anaheim is right for you. And if it is, we'll help you get the most value out of your Disneyland vacation.

We gave stayed with the Clarion 3 times in the last 6 months theough Getawaytoday. The price plus free breakfast when you book with Getaway is the lowest you can get. The clarion is literally right next ti the Toystory parking lot so you can just walk onto a bus and shuttle to and from the park way easier than then the Tram. Antonio G. runs rhe breakfast and dinner at the hotel restaurants and he is WONDERFUL! He is the most accomadating, attentive, kind person on staff!
