waves hi,
yes I have stayed at Motel 6 Man Gate multiple times over multiple years. However I have not booked it for my June 2020 trip as they are doing renovations in 2020. When I checked for my dates in October 2019, there was no availability. I didn't want to take a chance , so I booked Kings Inn Anaheim instead. Its around the same price point.
I just checked for my dates and now there is availability for my dates but this notice is now on their website
12/10/2019: The Motel 6 Anaheim Maingate is undergoing renovations and the pool will be closed through June 22, 2020. We apologize for any inconvenience.
As
@theluckyrabbit said I'm a solo female traveler. I find it totally fine for my needs. I don't know what renovations and changes they are doing, so my review is from my last visit in June 2019.
The rooms are large, the bed is huge. I have no issues with the bed or towels. I find the staff very helpful and nice.
There is no food on site but they have vending machines and microwaves in the lobby area. There is also free coffee available from 6am to 10am.
The building is comprised of two blocks, connected by stairs and outside corridors on the upper levels. I usually try to get a room in the main block, above the lobby, as thats where the only elevator is located.
To and from the park I use ART shuttle bus. Motel 6 Maingate is beside other hotels and there is always a steady stream of walkers from the park to the Motel 6 Maingate area. However after 14 hours in the park, my feet and body just cant do the walk, lol.
On my checkout day, I usually walk to the park / Downtown Disney. It takes me about 20 minutes.
I am very aware of personal safety and I live in a big city, so seeing pan handlers, homeless etc in the area between Motel 6 and Disney is not shocking to me. I see much worse in my day to day life.
