If you want a 10 minute or less walk, I would choose a place to stay on Harbor Boulevard. I have personally stayed at ParkVue Inn, Anaheim Desert Inn and Suites, and Candy Cane Inn. ParkVue and Desert Inn and Suites are close and about a 5 minute walk, if that. I have not used the pools, so I can't speak to that, but I do know that Desert Inn and Suites has an indoor pool. I believe Howard Johnson's has an extensive pool/play area, but I have not stayed there, and I don't know how long the walk is. A couple of years ago I stayed at a nice hotel on Katella, but the walk back at the end of the day was about 15 to 20 minutes, so I won't stay anywhere on Katella. It was just too long of a walk for me. Candy Cane Inn is about a 10 minute walk, but they have a shuttle. The breakfast offerings at Candy Cane Inn are some of the best I have had, and the grounds are beautiful. I hope this helps, and you have a wonderful trip!
