An old Anaheim favorite has returned after the pandemic, refreshed and looking better than ever. Today, we’re rebooting our series of Disneyland-area lodging reviews with a look at the Candy Cane Inn, one of our top budget-friendly hotel picks from the upcoming Unofficial Guide to Disneyland 2024.
The Candy Cane Inn (1747 S. Harbor Blvd.; 714-774-5284), conveniently located near the northwest corner of Harbor and Katella, has a charming homespun style, with grounds that are always lined with beautiful flowering plants.
The service here has always given the place some seriously loyal customers, and an extensive pandemic-era renovation has bumped it up even higher on our list of favorite motels.
Guest rooms are clean and cozy with big bathtubs and fast Wi-Fi, but the HDTVs only receive streaming services, not broadcast or cable networks.
The Candy Cane Inn’s pair of pools and hot tub are wonderfully warm, as are the waffles at the free breakfast.
This has long been a top pick for parties wanting California boutique-hotel charm.
At 0.6 miles away from the Esplanade, the 11-minute walk from here is slightly farther than that from other hotels across Harbor Boulevard, but you can reach the parks without having to cross the road, and a free hourly shuttle is available for those wanting to save their feet.
Here’s a look inside a refurbished room at Anaheim’s Candy Cane Inn:
We rate the Candy Cane Inn (and its pool) as 3 1/2 stars in The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland, and we consider it one of the area’s best values with an average nightly rack rate of $229.

I like it. The room looks quite nice, especially the slatted window treatment and in the bathroom, the lighted round mirror and the whimsical flower growing out of the toilet! Little touches I noticed. Still seems on the high end, but I guess location, location, location. Good video, Seth!
