I would take Standard View at the DLH over any view at PP.

Just my personal preference.
I haven't stayed at either one, but I have checked out both of them and PP is...like you said...a little "ehhhh". I'd rather look at a rooftop or a parking lot at DLH than look at the PP's pool. (Which isn't much of a pool anyway! LOL)
I don't think you could have a very bad view at the Disneyland Hotel, especially if you try and request a room on one of the higher floors. Everything probably looks pretty good the higher up you get!
