You can not beat the location or the price. The hotel is very lovely and I felt that it was an excellent value. Even provides wonderful landscaping all within walking distance of the Disneyland Resort. We stayed one night and moved to Grand Californian for several days based on years of Disney World experiences - staying at a Disney hotel is an entirely different experience in Florida. This was a mistake and waste of money. We should have stayed at the Candy Cane Inn for our entire trip!

We stayed at the Candy Cane Inn for 6 nights in early July. This was our second stay, having stayed here two years ago. Despite travel all over Los Angeles during our stay we chose to spend all six nights in this hotel because it is so clean, safe and beautiful. You are staying in a clean flower garden. The walk to Disneyland is only 10 minutes (if that) and there is a shuttle. The breakfast is wonderful, and the staff are friendly. The rooms are well maintained as is all of the property. I will return here again just as soon as possible. The other traveler photos are accurate. There is a nice souvenir/convenience shop next door, a grocery store about a mile away and a Subway across the street. We watched fireworks from our balcony. The only downside is that the internet is not very powerful in the rooms, but worked on the balcony.

Earlier this year we stayed (once again) at the CCI for our annual trip to DL. This time we decided to splurge and book a premium room which included some additional amenities. We had 2 adjoining rooms on the second floor at the back of the property.

Things I like about our stay in the premium room:
-It was slightly larger then a deluxe or standard room.
-Free video check-out. You can help yourself to a bookcase of available movies in the lobby.
-Delivered breakfast.

Things I didn't like:
-We were ALLLLL the way in the back of the property. Between 2 families we had 4 toddlers and it would have been nicer to be towards the front of the hotel, closer to the shuttle. BTW, if I would have mentioned this earlier they probably would have accomodated our request. Staff

-Although it was fun and convenient to have the breakfast delivered.......PLEASE CCI improve the menu. It's all starch/carbs of mediocre quality. It would have been nice to see more fresh fruit (cantaloupe, strawberries) and maybe some cheese wedges or slices (like those individually packaged ones that come in cheddar, swiss etc), how about some boiled eggs, ham and cheese croissants instead of just regular? Maybe you can send someone out by the pool to cook up some mickey mouse pancakes on a griddle. My kids would be over the moon. And can't there be a breakfast bonus for booking the much more expensive premium rooms. Like a small basket of bakery quality goodies (specialty breads and spreads).

I look at it like this though. Tourists are flocking to the shiny, new, big hotels. CCI can't really become shiny, big, and new......BUT CCI can become known as the quaint family owned motel with a darn good breakfast.

Ok, back to the room. Would I choose a premium room next time? Probably not. At the end of the day for us the amenities just didn't make up for the additional cost.

Bottomline......
Do I plan to stay at the CCI again? Maybe. Really it comes down to the food. It's very tempting to go somewhere a bit further that offers better breakfast options in addition to seperate sleeping and living quarters.

For the most part though, I am one of those reviewers that loves CCI for what it is....a charming, above average motel close to the park. CCI.....If you could just meet me 1/2 way on the food, I'd be a fan forever.

I stayed here over the 4th of July weekend and it wasn't what i expected from what i read about. I was dissapointed because the staff seemed to be very rude and disrespectful when confronted with issues i had there.
The pool they talk about is very small and when you get 10 people in it thats when you feel very cramped. They say they have 2 pools (1 regular and 1 Kids)...The kids pool is no bigger than a hot tub and they regular pool for size of complex is way to small.

The shower seemed to have issues, but thats probably because of age of unit.

They have a continental breakfast they serve but thats overrateed also as its just about bagels, muffins, fruit and watered down coffee with not a whole lot of room to sit.

Only positive thing i felt was good is its about a 5-8min walk to Disneyland entrance, but their shuttle stops at 8pm so if you stay at park past 8pm you will find yourself walking back after walking around all day.

I will defintely stay somewhere else next time with better customer service and the amenities i expect when traveling.
