Thanks to Priceline, I was able to enjoy a comfortable room at the Crown Plaza in Garden Grove, just across the street from the Hyatt Regency.
Convenience is the name of the game. Located across Harbor Drive is TARGET, so you don't have to go out of your way for odds and ends.
Further East, of course, is the Krispy Kreme near the crystal cathedral, so that's nearby as well. Joe's Crab Shop and an Outback Steakhouse is located nearby, and a CoCo's diner for breakfast..
The neatest thing about the Crown Plaza, though, is the "universal resort fee". The Hyatt, the Hilton, you get charged $11.00 or $12.00 just for parking. Then another couple of bucks for the internet..
At Crown Plaza, it's $9.00 for everything. Parking, gym, internet use at the business center. A very pleasant surprise.
I think it would be the cheapest parking anyway, but add three internet computers on the lobby floor without additional fees helps those of us with issues deal with problems and communicate with the outside world while at the Happiest Place on Earth!
