Alpine Inn
715 W Katella Ave
Anaheim, CA
A little piece of the Alps parked on the road to Disneyland.
About Alpine Inn
Alpine Inn began life as the Alpine Motel in the late 1950s, a Swiss chalet fantasy dropped onto Katella Avenue during Anaheim's first roadside boom. Where most of its contemporaries were flattened or flattened out into generic boxes, this one kept its A-frame chalet lobby and Alpine styling through a full modern renovation. The rooms behind that face were rebuilt with quartz-topped baths, updated flooring, and fiber internet, so the theme reads as genuine character rather than neglect. It sits in the heart of the resort district, a short walk from both Disneyland and the Anaheim Convention Center across the street, which makes it a rare thing on this strip: an independently run, thematically committed motor inn that has aged into charm instead of anonymity.
What Alpine Inn Is Known For
Alpine Inn holds onto its theme without turning kitschy or letting the rooms fall behind it. Plenty of roadside motels chase a look and stop caring once the sign is lit. Here the Swiss chalet face is backed by rooms that were genuinely rebuilt, and by a small team that treats a budget-friendly stay like it matters. That combination, real character with real upkeep, is exactly what most of the strip lost decades ago.

What Guests Love
- The staff are the heart of the stay: they give recommendations, arrange early check-in when possible, and keep cold water stocked in the lobby through the day.
- The rooms were fully renovated with quartz-topped baths, updated flooring, and fiber WiFi, so the vintage chalet exterior hides a modern interior.
- Free parking is included right in the heart of the resort district, where a spot is otherwise hard to find.
- The property runs quiet, with rooms set back enough that Disneyland's crowds barely register from your room.
Worth Knowing
- The walk to the Disneyland gates runs about twelve to fifteen minutes and passes a CVS, a gas station, and several places to eat.
- Guests in adjacent rooms may be audible; a quiet room request at booking is worth making if you're a light sleeper.
- The property has two floors and no elevator, so request a ground-floor room if stairs with luggage are a concern.
- Continental breakfast is light, built around coffee, tea, and grab-and-go items in the lobby rather than a full hot spread.
The Room
The renovation reached every room. Baths were rebuilt with quartz counters and clean tile, floors were replaced with durable vinyl plank, and each room carries an in-room coffee maker, a microwave, and a minifridge. Beds are comfortable, the air conditioning is strong, and fiber WiFi runs fast enough for guests who need to stay connected. Rooms come in double-queen and suite layouts, several with enough space and counter room to make a multi-day park trip with kids feel manageable rather than cramped.
The Grounds
The chalet lobby sets the tone the moment you pull in, with its pitched Alpine facade standing out against the flat resort-strip backdrop. Out back sits a heated outdoor pool for cooling off after a park day. Parking is free, one vehicle per room, right in the middle of the resort district where a spot is otherwise hard to come by. A guest laundry room and a small business center round out the practical side.
The Experience
What guests keep returning to is the front desk. The team here gives directions, holds bags, arranges early check-in when they can, and keeps cold water stocked in the lobby through the heat of the day, and it is the warmth of that service that shows up again and again in how people describe their stays. The property runs quiet despite Disneyland being a short walk away, and the walk itself, twelve to fifteen minutes past a CVS and a handful of places to eat, becomes part of the rhythm of the trip.
