Though it was just across from Disneyland we were disappointed in the rooms. The photos do not really reflect what it really looks like. The rooms were old and tired looking. When we booked it showed that it was a 3 star hotel. More like a 1 or 2 star hotel. Definately not worth the money we paid to stay there. Only good thing was it was so close to Disneyland.

The bed was uncomfortable, the room was a bit stuffy, but it was a perfect location. we paid 91 bucks with a AAA discount for each of the 2 nights we stayed there. ***The breakfast was surprising: it had plenty of peeled hard boiled eggs, oatmeal, cereal (3 selections) , milk, juices, donuts, pastries, oranges, coffee, tea and lots more. This was included in room price. We ate outside by the beautiful (slightly heated) pool. What a delightful poolside. So many palm trees, beautiful. Sparkling cleanwater. The staff was busy cleaning the pool and spa each morning, and the room was actually very clean, although had a leak of some sort that caused the water from the tap to drip onto the feet while brushing teeth or washing face...definately encourages one to conserve water! ;-). One really nice thing was how they had great music playing over the speakers by the pool. Plenty of pool towels available. Nice fellow travellers. Families galore. There is a coffee house type thing ands undries store that sells a great selection fo items, even beer and wines...again great selection ....onsite. It was so much fun for the kids to swim. we felt safe. We left our car in the parking lot all day while at Disneyland. No problems there. Never had to drive at all till we left!
***The only big problem was the beds. Springy, and well, 'toture rack' is how I described it. If you bring a tranquilizer you will be fine.***
There is a fantasticly affordable buffet spot about 5 doors down called ***Captain Kidd's*** ...it was shockingly low priced. Buffett for kids, 4.99, adults like 8.99. They serve buffett 3 meals a day, adn also have a menu that had many good looking items, but we only had buffett cuz we wanted to do a super cheap trip. We were of course starved after disneyland and swimming so it was great. The service there ws great and the buffett had a good array, from hamburgers to ribs to ham to beans and chips ...desserts galore, even frozen yogurt...all included. 4 of us (2 kids, 2 adults) ate and had sodas/ beer for 41 bucks. Tipped well cuz service was great and ***what a bargain***.
enjoy your time, but really, take your sleeping pills with you to this one so you can sleep well enough. the price was so good, it really is hard to complain. hopefully though new mattresses are on the way at that place.

I selected this hotel based on proximity to Disneyland. It was certainly an easy walk to the main gate for both parks. Our six year old loved the pool. All rooms were close to the pool due to the "U" shaped motel. This configuration provided a feeling of security that I probably wouldn't have felt in a larger more sprawling city property. Yes, it was a little worn and tired, but hey, I just wanted a safe and clean place to sleep as most of our activity was at the parks. Our stay was quiet and uneventful-I like that. Staff were courteous and helpful. We gave the breakfast a miss after the first morning as it really was basically a doughnut and boiled eggs or cereal. The room came with a refrigerator and a microwave. No complaints from me for $88. /night.

The Ramada Inn Maingate is very average in many aspects, but it is hard to beat its great location. Literally, a less than 12 minute walk to Disneyland and California Adventure Park . It has decent restaurants nearby. Once you get there you don't have to use your car until you leave if you are there for the Parks. If you can't stay at one of the Disneyland Resorts this is a good option for a short stay.
