Along S Harbor Blvd on the border between Garden Grove and Anaheim, the full service Crowne Plaza Resort is an upscale hotel occupying a quiet, spacious site set back a little from the main road. Leisure travelers appreciate the proximity to Disneyland, 1.4 miles north, and have use of a large, palm tree-lined pool/hot tub, in a sheltered garden area at the rear. Shuttle to the parks is provided for a small 'resort fee' which also covers parking, internet access and entry to all amenities. The hotel has 372 well presented, newly renovated guest rooms, in three wings of a handsome 9 floor building, next to which is a large conference center - one of the top places for meetings in Anaheim, this includes over 80,000 sq ft of space, and can cater for up to 1875 guests at a single event.

The Anaheim Suites is the larger but slightly cheaper of two adjacent all-suite Marriott hotels in Garden Grove along Harbor Blvd, 1.2 miles south of Disneyland; a large and impressive 14 floor building of 371 luxurious rooms (accommodating 4 guests, or 6 for the King Suites), equipped with refrigerator, work desk, 2 TVs and dual telephones. There are two restaurants on site, both open for breakfast (not free), lunch & dinner, with plenty more a short walk away. The Anaheim Shuttle stops right outside the hotel, transporting guests to Disneyland and other nearby Anaheim attractions such as the Convention Center and the Angel Stadium. Additional amenities include free parking, an outdoor pool, fitness center, business center and nearly 10,000 sq ft of meeting/event space.

The Holiday Inn Express hotel in Garden Grove has quite a central location, midway between the centers of Anaheim, Santa Ana and Orange as well as Garden Grove, and it is well connected to nearby locations via the 22 Freeway which runs past one block away, and links with I-5 a short distance east. The hotel presents a particularly elegant frontage, and has a nice pool area at the side; inside, the 98 rooms & suites are equally smart and well maintained. Free hot breakfast is served, and there are a couple of restaurants close by though a better choice can be found along Harbor Blvd, half a mile west. This is the road that leads to Disneyland, 2.6 miles away.

Right next to the Holiday Inn Express at 12901 Garden Grove Blvd stands another well reviewed IHG property, the Candlewood Suites North Orange County, which caters more for the long stay traveler; the all suite hotel has 133 large rooms that all contain a full kitchen including stove & dishwasher. Other guest amenities are a convenience store, 24 hour fitness center, free high speed internet access, complimentary laundry, and bbq grills, though no pool. The nearest major shopping/restaurant center is The Block at Orange, 1.3 miles west.

1.2 miles south of the main gate at Disneyland, the all-suite Residence Inn Anaheim Resort Area/Garden Grove has 200 spacious and well equipped rooms plus many family-friendly amenities, including a large swimming pool set amongst palm-lined gardens, a children's wading pool, a Kids theater and a number of Kid Suites, which contain bunk beds and a games table. All accommodation features a full kitchen, two-person sofa sleeper, the extra comfortable Marriott bedding and complimentary internet access; half have views over the pool and gardens. Hot breakfast and evening reception are both provided free of charge. Surrounding the hotel are many shops and stores, including Target just across the street.

The 22 Freeway runs right past Econo Lodge Garden Grove, enabling east travel to Long Beach/Los Angeles in the west, and Orange/Santa Ana in the east. Rates are low and facilities limited to free continental breakfast and a small outdoor pool, but the 50 rooms all contain a microwave & refrigerator, and the motel is very close to several shops and restaurants. Rooms with a whirlpool bath are also available. For those here to visit Disneyland, the resort is an easy 2.9 mile drive due north along Harbor Blvd, half a block west.
