About the Theme Parks

Los Angeles theme parks are spread from one end of the metro area to the other. If you're planning on visiting more than one of them, you may want to move to a hotel near each one.

Don't let a lot of amenities like swimming pools and so on seduce you into paying more than you need to. If you're going to be in the theme park all day long, chances are the only thing you'll do at your hotel is sleep.

Pros and Cons of Staying Near the Theme Parks

  • It's obvious that you'll pick these locations if you plan to spend most of your time in the parks.

  • Because they get a lot of one-time visitors, some hotels around the theme parks let their guard down about upkeep and customer service.
