I recently stayed at the Ramada Maingate with my three boys for five days. I only paid $98/nt and two of our nights were free. My expectations weren't super high as we've been to Disneyland before and I had seen the outside of the property. This was my choice this trip simply because of location. Check in went smoothly and we bought our disneyland tickets right there. The rooms were older and fairly dirty. The carpets were gross and I made sure that nothing clean ever landed down there. The beds, though old and worn, were suprisingly comfortable. We requested four more pillows on our fist night and they were brought to us in record time. The kids loved the pool and it's good for all ages of kids. The shallow end is large and only 1 1/2 feet deep, the deep end is 8ft. I did step on a rib bone from, I'm assuming, Tony Roma's next door while swimming in the pool with my two year old. Fairly gross. I wouldn't rave about the continental breakfast by any means, it's the traditional unhealthy fare...danish, donuts, dry cereal, etc. There were fresh oranges and the coffee wasn't too bad. The kids loved the short lived donuts for breakfast. Our room keys quit working three times and I would have to haul three tired and cranky kids back to the front desk for a new card key, housekeeping would not let us in our room. The tub was stained and didn't drain well so you had to take a quick shower to avoid standing in nasty water. All in all this is the place to stay if you want good proximity to the park, just keep fairly low expectations for the rooms. If you are planning on spending any length of time in your room you may want to hit the Best Western or Fairfield Inn. I will probably do the same next time as well.

I want to start with the positives -- this hotel is really ideal for families coming to Disneyland. It is literally right across the street and couldn't be more convenient. They've got a nice breakfast set up by the pool and even though it's motel style (rooms face parking lot), it was actually quite quiet.

I ended up here last minute for a convention that was in town, and it wasn't problem-free. The rooms are in need of renovation, both faucets leaked and I could see daylight behind the air conditioner. But it is nice that the rooms have microwaves and refrigerators.

If I'm back in Anaheim on business, I'll definitely go to a hotel that is more suitable for business travelers. Can't rave about the Ramada but they did handle my concerns fairly and I do think it's a good value for families.

The pool was fun, the rooms were ok the restaurants nearby were great and the location was awesome. It was stright across from the Dsineyland main entrance.

We stayed here with a family of 21! Although the rooms were older, they were clean and comfortable with a fridge and microwave. The kids (ages 3-16) loved the pool, and as parents we enjoyed the continental breakfast and snack bars up front to help keep our food costs down. The walk to Disneyland was very convenient, and made it easy to go back to our rooms for a break. We have planned another Disney trip in May and have already booked our rooms!
