Brookhurst Plaza Inn

Just three miles from Disneyland the reasonably priced Brookhurst Plaza Inn is close to the downtown sights but away from the downtown traffic. Much-appreciated extras include free parking and complimentary coffee always brewing in the lobby. The three-story hotel northwest of the city center has an expansive lobby area with a staircase that sweeps to the second floor. The 91 rooms have thoughtful touches like refrigerators and microwaves and Wi-Fi is available (for a fee). Outside is an attractive pool and sun deck both shaded by palm trees. Parking is free. You can purchase discounted theme-park tickets at the front desk saving you a little of your hard-earned cash. The Brookhurst Plaza Inn is a 10-minute drive from downtown including Disneyland Disney's California Adventure and Downtown Disney. It's also a 10-minute drive from out-of-town attractions like Knotts Berry Farm and Medieval Times. The closest airports are Long Beach Airport 11 miles west and John Wayne Orange County Airport 16 miles south.
