Castle Inn: more dungeon than Disney.
We stayed one night before rope-dropping Disneyland, and that’s about all the time I’d recommend here.
The good stuff:
• 24/7 front desk (we rolled in at 11PM, no problem).
• Hot shower with strong pressure (a lifesaver after travel).
• Free all-day parking (and just $15 to extend past checkout on busy nights).
The not-so-magical stuff:
• “Castle theme” reads more medieval dungeon vibes.
• Mattress = hard, creaky springboard. Blanket = two sheets plus the sad extra layer you usually find shoved in the closet.
• No lounge, bar, or restaurant. Even the mini-mart was closed.
Perfect for a crash pad before the parks, but not a place you’ll want to hang out.
