Alpine Inn

It’s a modest little motel, maybe 50 rooms, with simple rooms. Ours was clean and comfortable, and the staff were nice and helpful. It backs up to California Adventure by the Cars ride, so you can hear people screaming on the Incredicoaster. The Convention Center is very close, and Disneyland and Downtown Disney are walkable. Alpine Inn isn’t fancy, but it’s much more affordable. A decent place to crash for a few days if you’re visiting Disney or in town for a convention.

Derek and everyone at the Alpine Inn were wonderful, really helpful, and super accommodating. We enjoyed the stay and the location so close to Disney. Having the extra bedroom was a big help with family. A great place to stay while enjoying Disney or the surrounding area. Thank you.

After a day around big crowds, coming back to Alpine Inn felt calm, cozy, and relaxing. The staff seemed to genuinely care about making our vacation better. They were attentive and patient. The rooms were very clean, with lots of towels, good amenities, comfortable clean beds, and excellent air conditioning. The pool looked great, though we wished we’d brought our swim trunks. We arrived around 8 a.m. and were able to park for free, which we appreciated. Parking can be limited in the morning while guests from the night before are still there, but we found a spot. There was plenty of parking after 2 p.m., and the front desk is happy to call ahead with an idea of availability. Check-in is officially at 3 p.m.; they let us in at 2, which was a nice bonus. Earlier check-in costs extra depending on how early you arrive, and the front desk clearly explains the options and checks availability. We’ll definitely return. A couple of notes for Disney visitors: walking to Pixar Place through the Grand Californian Hotel won’t work unless you’re staying at a Disney-owned hotel. They’ll send you through Downtown Disney instead. They let us through because we had a reservation at Hearthstone Lounge inside the Grand Californian Hotel. And just as a protective person, I’d suggest walking in a group if you’re coming back very late, around 11 p.m. There were some sketchy people on Anaheim streets, although the streets were well lit.

The front desk staff were really nice and personable, and answered all our questions. The room was immaculate, clean, and perfectly made up, with comfortable beds and four pillows each, which was a huge win. The bathroom was small but spotless, with no mold or mildew. The pool looked clean and nice, though we didn’t use it. There wasn’t much noise, but we visited in February during a quieter Disney season. We were on an upper floor, so I can’t say how thin the ceilings are; you might want to ask. There’s no cable, just broadcast satellite, so keep that in mind if you want entertainment in the room. An HDMI adapter for your phone makes streaming an easy fix. Room 202, for reference. Really good for a low-maintenance, low-budget stay.
