I have just recently stayed at the DL Hotel twice....April and last week. I would go with the DL just based on location. DL Hotel is more centrally located to Downtown Diseny whereas the Paradise Pier is a further walk. I think you will enjoy the DL Hotel. I have stayed in both Standard View and Theme Park View Rooms. The Standard View was actually great. If I looked out and looked to the right, I can see Disneyland Park and was able to watch the fireworks at night. Good luck with your decision.
