Scene
Large but quiet hotel that caters to Disneyland-going families
Opened in 1988, the Fairfield is a large hotel that caters to Disneyland-going families. A Mickey Mouse doll sits atop a Disney tickets kiosk in the lobby, and there's even a play check-in kiosk for kids close to the real registration desk. Despite the hotel’s size and steady influx of guests, the lobby remains relatively quiet and peaceful, though the pool gets a bit more action, particularly in the late afternoon after guests return from Disneyland.
Location
Within walking distance of Disneyland and a brief drive to the convention center
The Fairfield Inn is conveniently located directly across the street from the main entrance to the Disneyland Resort, about a seven-minute walk to the entrance of Disneyland Park.
