Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn

Hotel Fera Anaheim, a DoubleTree by Hilton
It is in a good location to the Angels stadium, and Disney is just minutes away. Not as much traffic around during the week. There is no complimentary breakfast, The Peel restaurant is over priced. Overall, it is a nice hotel. Just nothing special.
