Just down the road from the Resort entrance and right next to the Toy Story Parking Lot, the Red Lion Hotel is a moderately-priced hotel in a great spot. The curb appeal is awesome and they're currently undergoing some renovations, but be aware of what you could be paying for.

Though mostly made available to members of the Disney Vacation Club, technically anyone can book these rooms if you're able to pay cash, but for those DVC members who have not yet stayed at the Grand Californian Hotel, here's an idea of what you're missing out on so far because what this hotel lacks in the standard guest rooms it makes up for in the DVC villas!

The Holiday Inn - Anaheim Resort Area is a very nice hotel. I usually have good luck with the Holiday Inn. I got this hotel on a good deal from Priceline which was helpful. It is a little far to Disneyland, but it is a nice place to stay on a budget.

The Disneyland Hotel is the original and most iconic of the Disneyland Resort Hotels and for a great reason.  As the name suggests they do their best to make your stay magical with the right Disney flare.  I've been able to stay at each DLR Hotel and this is by far my favourite, so if you can I would highly recommend you stay here. ​(UPDATED: 8 Sept 2017)

Luckily for those traveling on a budget, there are many options surrounding the Disneyland Resort which are "Disney Good Neighbor" hotels, including the Fairfield Inn across the street.  Fairfield Inns are traditionally very nice moderately priced hotels, but based on my recent experience I can't say that I'll ever consider returning to this particular one.
