Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel
Seaside vibes abound at Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel! Although further out from the parks than the other Disney resorts and even some of the off site options, Paradise Pier offers guests Disney perks and a slightly lower price point. Although the corridors and common areas still seem like a cookie cutter hotel, the rooms are absolutely adorable and may be the right choice for a beachy abode during your next Disneyland vacation.

Lobby
There’s not much of a lobby at Paradise Pier. This is where it falls short of the other Disney resorts, in my opinion. This property was not originally a Disney owned hotel, so the bones were already there. It looks very much the part of a chain hotel in many of the common areas. Disney does attempt to add a little magic, but it is what it is.
Standard Room
All standard rooms feature 2 queen beds or one king bed and a queen sleeper, desk/table and chair, vanity area. Standard rooms offer views of Disneyland Drive or parking areas (standard view) or California Adventure (premium view).
*Note that all suites do NOT automatically include club level services as they typically do at the Walt Disney World Resort. It may be requested at check-in and granted if available.
