Get your money's worth at Disneyland!
Jenngg - Apr 29th, 2011
After a lifetime of staying at Disney properties, we decided to give HoJo a try - the water play area looked pretty great.

Here's what's great:
1. The price. With an Entertainment Book discount, we got a park view room for $79. more +Wow! Just be sure to call the hotel directly for the best prices.
2. Kids' water play area was fantabulous. Steaming hot hot tub for the grownups to sit in while we watched the kids on the water slides.
3. Lobby decor and hotel design was mid-century modern, which I love.
4. You can call the hotel directly for reservations and advice.
5. Most rooms have mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker.
6. Free, safe parking.
7. Free Wi-Fi all over the hotel, and free iMac use and printing in the lobby.
8. We didn't stay in one, but there are family suites available with bunks and two bathrooms.
9. The distance to Disneyland main entrance is exactly the same as from the Disneyland Hotel. Quick, easy-peasy.

Here's what wasn't so great:
1. The hotel is trying to emphasize the whole mid-century modern theme, but that sensibility is missing in the rooms - ours was clean and comfortable, but just looked like a Best Western in need of an update.
2. Yes, there is a Mimi's next to the hotel. They have horrible service, and my kids wouldn't even eat their scrambled eggs (OK, they are used to organic eggs soft scrambled with Cowgirl Creamery, but still).
3. If you do get a park view room, beware that the fireworks are quite loud in the room.

All in all, HoJo was an amazing deal. Every other non-Disney property within walking distance is a motel, and none have water play areas that compare to this. I still love the Disney hotels, but if you're on a budget, I can't imagine a better deal than HoJo.

Disneyland is the best
pia - Oct 1st, 2009
Howard Johnson at Anaheim is very clean and convenient for my family last summer. it is walking distance to Disneyland and at the same time close to west coast university, where i went for my orientation for my school . the hotel amenities is great, more +very kids friendly and close to different restaurant. room is big enough for my whole family and the staff are very friendly and wonderful customer service. i definitely recommend this hotel for a family vacation.

my kids love Disneyland every year at summer we always go to Disneyland. my kids love all the rides and shows , and like meeting all the characters. they love the parade and of course the fire works .
