I keep hearing over and over again that the DLH is so much more money, I just do not see it to be true all the time, yes, there is times that I believe it is way overpriced but they do have times when it is reasonable. I will tell you next week if it is worth it.
We have 2 rooms for $119, military rate for next week. When we looked around, we looked into our first choice, Residence Inn, which both hotels would have been over $150/room, yes it includes breakfast (which is not huge in our family anyway, my granddaughter will eat some and I will eat some leaving 3 people not wanting anything, even coffee) but it is not really within walking distance. Yes the rooms are bigger, but if you have to spend money parking and taken a bus is it worth the extra money.
Second choice was the other marriots, both of them were higher also, Fairfield was $139, Anaheim Marriot Suite was over $169/room. No breakfast, I don't think and again one not real close. None of them have military rate and the rates I am quoting was for state employers not rack rate.
I checked into HoJo's, I could not get that special rate everyone talks about so it would have been $129, the rate has dropped down to $106 now, but I still would have had to walk, no monorail, no charactors, so for $13 more is it worth it, I will let you know. Several other hotels were in the same catagory, they may have been a little cheaper but not much.
Maybe if some of the other hotels offered military or state employee discounts I could compare them better but they don't so I am stuck with DLH is cheaper than many of the hotels people keep saying they can get for 1/2 the price of DLH and it is closer than most of those hotel. Most of those people also say it is better walking distance, but the monorail at least I can sit down on and if going monorail it is closer walking, and someone on this site even came up with the walking distance and there really is not that much difference, we are talking only Best Western being even with DLH I think and to me that does not really compare to the hotel.
