Fullerton keeps hotel rates lower than neighboring Anaheim, and that means you can put more of your budget toward the theme parks, Cal State Fullerton, or a slow afternoon at the Fullerton Farmers Market. For this list, we focused on three budget properties that consistently deliver solid value: the Fullerton Marriott at California State University, the Holiday Inn Express Fullerton-Anaheim, and the Howard Johnson by Wyndham Fullerton/Anaheim Conference Center.
Rates at these hotels typically start in the low $80s to $100s per night, with free parking and Wi-Fi included at most. If you're traveling with family, the Travelodge by Wyndham Fullerton and the Willow Tree Lodge both put you within a 20-minute drive of Disneyland and offer seasonal outdoor pools. For a more central option, the Fullerton Lodge sits 8 km from Disneyland and provides free private parking. One thing to know: some properties charge a small resort fee, so check the final price before booking.
