Days Inn is on the southwest corner of Ball Road and Disneyland Drive, just down the street from one of Disneyland's pedestrian entrances. The only entrance to the inn is from Ball Road: an unbroken sound wall runs the full length of the inn along Disneyland Drive. This sound wall extends around the entire inn like a box. This wall reduces the noise and provides privacy, but it also blocks much of the exterior view.

This restaurant is out of business, unfortunately.
I believe I remember driving by this restaurant in the 1980s, but unfortunately I never ate there. The two railroad cars are still intact and in fairly good condition. The name of the restaurant is gone from the building now, but by search in a 1978 Anaheim phone book's yellow pages I was able to match the address to a specific restaurant name. I would be interested in knowing what this place was like, especially since it appears to not be listed on the Internet at all. Maybe it went out of business before the Internet was commonly used.
Currently this motel is directly across from the out-of-business Anaheim Depot Restaurant. In the 1970s this was the Jack & Jill Motel.
