Hotel New York- lovely & friendly vibe, helpful staff, not far from the parks. I always stay here when I go to Disneyland Paris. :o ;D
Others might disagree but I love the Cheyenne. I feel so at home & comfortable there. I enjoyed the Sequoia Lodge when I stayed. Hubby prefers that one.
has to be Disneyland Hotel, although I doubt I'll get to stay there again :(

Newport is lovely.
Beautiful, especially after refurb and it never seems that busy.
I think more people go New York or Disneyland Hotel.
Would love to stay at Disneyland Hotel - Newport prices is a push for me. So I am grateful when I stay there.
Will only stay at Newport. Stayed at Cheyenne as a cheap option one month after I stayed at Newport and I hated it.
I'm glad everyone likes Newport - going there in October!
I have stayed in the Santa Fe and HATED it. Never again.
My favourite out of SF and SL is definitely Sequioa Lodge but I'm staying in Newport Bay next year and reckon that'll end up being my fav ha
We've been to DLP 55 times since 1992 (56 times next week) and have been very fortunate to have stayed in all the Disney hotels and partner hotels in Magny-Le-Hongre and we have loved all of them for different reasons. Our first was Santa Fe when Clint was on the billboard. Without question the Disneyland Hotel is the most oppulent and being right there on the front gate is fantastic (no extra security to queue for and soooooooo convenient at the end of a hectic day) BUT and this is a biggie for me, does it have the best "feel", I guess this depends on who, when and what. We had our anniversary in DLH and it was magical, we had Christmas in NPB and it was more magical. Stayed in Sequoila Lodge in the Autumn when leaves were dropping off the trees and the nights were drawing in......that last walk through the village to be greeted by that big stone fireplace - almost cried. Hotel New York, never got on with it, nice bar but the rooms and hotel just never did it for me and always got the impression that a large percentage of the guests there were "wannabees", couldn't quite afford the DLH but turned up in the Range Rovers and Mercs for good measure and you could always hear them. Santa Fe will always have a place in my heart because it was our first in 1992. Cheyenne is also spectacular, some of the best theming in a hotel. We have stayed at Davy Crockett more times than any other, mostly due to having family members and friends in tow and everything is there, bar, restaurant, awesome pool, karaoke *cough*. The partner hotels have the obvious advantage of being so much cheaper whilst being very close but this is offset by the heathen hordes that flood the shuttle busses at night and the new B&B hotel is pretty bloody good.
Favourite?, not sure I have one, next week when we go we are on a campsite near Compiegne but plan to drive in at least 4 times over our 2 week holiday with our AP's so it'll be just as magical when we get to the parks.
My two penneth :)
For me and my family it has to be the Cheyenne. This is for a number of reasons. The theming, feel, the walk along the river to the parks.
We have stayed at all of the onsite hotels and this is a family favourite
Well,
I had the opportunity to stay in all the Disneyland Paris Hotels, incl. the associated. Must say, despite the money. I ratter stay in an onside hotel.
Looking at the onside hotels, in Fall and Winter time, I love SL, because of the warm atmosphere. Summer I think New York is more up the list. Although the Disneyland Hotel is the most convenient because of the location right on top of the Entrance, so if I don't look at the price, it has to be the Disneyland Hotel, otherwise it is Sequoia Lodge.
I defiantly feel like sequoia has my heart, the warm feel of it just feels like home to me x
During my trips to DLP I have stayed at each hotel except the Cheyenne but my personal favourite has always been the Newport Bay although I can't really say why! I think the blue and white colour scheme looks really clean and inviting. When I stayed at the Disneyland Hotel, I have to say I was a little bit underwhelmed - although the location is fabulous and it is nice to be able to be back in your room within minutes of closing time, the basic standard rooms are no different to the rooms at the New York or Newport in terms of comfort and cleanliness. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy my stay there but I wouldn't do it again. I would pay that little bit less money and stay at the Newport.
However I have no qualms about staying at the Santa Fe either in fact this is the hotel I have stayed at the most. I have always thoroughly enjoyed my stays there and never felt that it was a "lesser" hotel and on nice days the walk up to the parks along the banks of the river is very pleasant.
If I could afford it though, it would be the Newport every time.
TTFN
I agree with some others here that there is something special about the Cheyenne. Sure, its not as luxurious as some of the others but the design & theming is brilliant and it feels very homely and welcoming. Mind you, I also like the Santa Fe a lot too, and have fond memories there, so I obviously don't mind the lower end.
We stayed one odd night in the Explorer's (as it was cheaper for us to travel out a day earlier) and I was very impressed with it. Great theming, fantastic pool & facilities. Would definitely like to stay there again :)
I've only been to DLP twice and on each occasion stayed at Sequoia Lodge. I'll also be staying there for my visit next September. I love it and am not particularly interested in staying at any of the other hotels as I love the the green, woody theming of SL, I live in a rural area and love that for the same reason.
hmmmm.... of the hotels i have stayed in my favourite was definately the disneyland hotel it was just magical... but when a budget is a thing (lets face it unless there is a stupidly good price available budget is always a thing) then i would go for the sequoia =]
Well I've only stayed at the Newport (the other time was the Radisson).
I'm going back to '05 so the NPBC was well in need to TLC then. I did have a look at the rest of the lake front hotels, and well...
Disneyland Hotel. Nice enough. I doubt I'd stay there though.
Hotel New York. The stylised theme might be showing its age. It seems very '90s.
Sequoia. Pleasant enough, but not as big of a wow as its US counterpart The Wilderness Lodge. Although if I'd go again, I'd probably stay there.
Newport. Fine I guess. Looks much better now after its renovations.
Santa Fe/Cheyenne. Less said the better. (Judgement made only on pictures).
Am I being too harsh to all of them?

Well, everyone's entitled to their opinions, and everyone will have a base level of design, features and service that they expect or are used to.
I would say though that I've stayed at the Santa Fe and Cheyenne multiple times, and all our family (me, wife, two teens) loved them. Sure, they weren't 5 star luxury, but they were clean, comfortable, had cool themed designs (cowboy town and American style drive-in movie theatre) and the staff were really great. The fact both hotels are split into multiple buildings means that despite them being the highest capacity hotels there is not really any issues with noise, security, safety etc as really the hotels are split into 20 or so buildings. We felt like we got good value for money, and were happy to spend the considerable euros we saved on more souveniers!
Honestly, we tend to spend at least 8am to 10pm in the parks, so as long as there is a comfortable bed and a good bath/shower, I wouldn't notice the fine details of the hotels much ;) Although, we did stay at the Santa Fe both before and after the renovation, and it was significantly improved. Much nicer theming and decorations. The recent resign of the Cheyenne looks nice too :)
If these hotels were room only. I would rate them very basic (maybe even poor) for the price you pay. Cheyenne costs around €200 (room only - so no admission to the parks is included).
? we're stanDing ay Santa fe tHus holiday. worked out. 700 Igor 4 rights but that incIudes dining plan and park tickets which I think is amazing and in September.
Nothing wrong with SF. Have stayed several times and if all you want is somewhere to sleep then why would you pay £100's extra for amenities you wont use. Heck we use the Kyriad plenty too! We use the price difference for treats, character dining and gifts and feel we have enjoyed our time on resort much more as a result. We were still spending so much on accomodation that we ended up buying in the area so now only use the hotels if there is a special late night planned and we dont want to drive home that night...still would go for the cheaper option tho'! Never really enjoyed the pink one...too girly and full of people who think that they're better than anyone else...nope, your children are still horrible and you are loud and obnoxious! Sorry, my bad 😶
I'm not sure where your €200 pricing has come from tho'? I am staying at the Cheyenne for the first time in Feb (hubby working so no driver) with my son and his wee pal. Room booked for 5 nights, 1 adult so ticket included for pal (we have passes) no room tax to pay as extra guests are children. Total cost £291. I'd sleep on a bed of nails for 5 nights 3 people b&b at Disney for that price!!

Februari is low season. If you would book now for October the price is €206 p/n.
Which imo is pretty poor for just a room and the kind of breakfast they serve over there.
But then again. Who books rooms only? ::) Most people book the package deal, which most of the time is pretty good value.
Sequoia Lodge is our favourite hotel at DLP. I love the woodland theming and the birdsong that plays in the public areas. The staff are friendly and the staff at the Golden Forest reception were great. The breakfast in the Golden Forest Lounge is nice and relaxed, with no mad queues or having to book a time slot. The afternoon snacks are nice too. It also helps in the fact that I really like Sequoia trees. The only downside is getting my boyfriend's wheelchair over the bridge to the hotel and the fact the walk to/from the parks is quite tiring for me pushing the wheelchair.
I've stayed at the Disneyland Hotel - it was nicely decorated and I liked the smell (I ended up buying the candle). The breakfast was very good. I didn't feel the general hotel staff customer service was that great. I've been kept waiting at reception a couple of times with no staff to be seen, and been kept waiting in the shop for ages too with no apology. I had emailed the hotel before hand explaining that we were celebrating two birthdays whilst we were there but nothing was remarked on about it. The restaurant staff are better than the others and I would say that California Grill is great though.
I liked Cheyenne. I liked the theming, the style of the room blocks and the wood smoke smell outside. If I had to book one of the cheaper on-site Disney hotels (if I was on a DLP trip without my boyfriend) then I'd book this over the Santa Fe. Breakfast isn't great but could be worse. The new refurbished Texas rooms look good.
Santa Fe - the look of this has improved since they tarted up the outside of the room blocks. If you don't want stairs to your room, avoid the Santa Fe. Breakfast was busy and not great, but I've had worse in other places. The birds in the bar amused me.
We are planning on staying at the New York in March 2017, so I will see what that is like. I'm hoping to stay at New Port Bay in the future so I'll have stayed at all the Disney on-site hotels then (with the exception of Davy Crockett, as we don't drive).
For years I stayed at HNY and I have many fond memories of this hotel.
I stayed in NPB earlier this year and I absolutely loved it.
I've just booked Sequoia Lodge for December as I've never stayed there and I wanted to try it (plus it is supposed to be stunning at Christmas).
Probably my best ever trip as staying at Cheyenne. I went with my best friend just for a night and we laughed the whole time.
To be honest I love them all!

I spent a few days at Sequoia Lodge in early December several years ago and it was amazing - if one hotel calls for Christmas decs then this is it. In fact it's the only hotel I stay at in DLP - I love it so much I'm not interested in staying anywhere else.
I LOVE Newport Bay
Been in Cheyenne, but tend to stay in Santa Fe mostly. Reason being aslong as i've got some where to sleep and keep my stuff secure then thats good enough for me. On the plus side the cost difference puts more money in my pocket for my kids to spend more. Will eventually stay at Newport, as it looks beautiful in my opinion and one im tempted to try.
I recently stayed in the Magic Circus Hotel for the first time ever and was very surprised by how nice the room was. I was in a double room (no bunk beds etc, just a double bed) and the room was huge with loads of space, furniture, storage etc. It was actually probably the nicest hotel room I've ever stayed in... ;D Trip report with pictures here: https://forum.dlpguide.com/index.php?topic=21440.0 (https://forum.dlpguide.com/index.php?topic=21440.0)
