Top hotels in Central City
Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel
Good location. Nothing included however, from breakfast to the parking so be aware of that extra cost before travelling here. There was no microwaves in the room either, water was several floors down in a workout room cooler and it had rather dated amenities such as basic cable on t.v, no other media ...

Tropicana Inn and Suites
The place was good. Great location right near the main gate of Disneyland. The kitchen was a great bonus and laundry was available but very expensive

Hotel Maya
Room was spacious with nice view of the water. The staff was very friendly. We also ate at the Fuego restaurant. The service, food and drinks were delicious. The only downside was the shower had a leak. It would leak onto the bathroom floor.
