Whether you’re visiting California’s Disneyland or watching the Los Angeles Angels play baseball, choose from these family-friendly, cheap hotels in Anaheim for your next trip.

Southern California is home to some of the world’s most glamorous lodgings. But if you’re coming to Anaheim, your main agenda likely includes visiting Disneyland – and spending most of your time (and money) in the park. Alternatively, you might be a business traveler bound for the Anaheim Convention Center or a fan of the area’s professional sports teams. All you really need is a comfortable, wallet-friendly hotel to crash in at night – here’s our pick of the best budget hotels in Anaheim.

It has 371 large two-room suites with living rooms and separate bedrooms, so it’s ideal for groups of friends or families traveling with kids. When you’re not snapping selfies with Mickey, relax in the sparkling pool – or work off some of those Dole Whips in the fitness center.

The pool complex also features a hot tub and splash zone for the little ones.
