I read the reviews before we left. It was raining so we didn't get to use the water park but it looked really fun. The front desk was understaffed and there was a huge line waiting to check in/check out/ask questions/answer phones. It took no less than 20 minutes to do anything that involved the front desk. The rooms are... More

We stayed for 3 nights in January with 2 kids - an end of NZ school holidays trip. The HoJo had come highly recommended and we can see why. The hotel was absolutely ideal for a Disneyland trip. Our room had 2 huge and extremely comfortable beds (we all slept for about 15 hours straight on the first night after... More

This is a solid 3 star hotel. It is clean though the rooms are dated and somewhat rundown. Great location, within a 5 minute walk to Disney. Lacking the niceties of a 4-5 star property such as 24hr assistance with luggage at checkout, room service, restaurants etc. Overall a good hotel for it's price bracket. More

Stayed in early March 2011 for 7 nights. Check- in was flawless-we arrived around 1 pm @SNA, and called to see if our room was ready, they said "come on over". Each staff member we encountered at the very least smiled and assisted us as needed. PLENTY of parking for rental car on the rare occasions we went out of... More

We've stayed at this hotel on numerous occasions over the years and always find it to be excellent. This trip was no exception. We only had 2 nights there while we did a visit to Disneyland but the staff couldn't have been more helpful, and as usual, everything about the property is worth recommending. More

This Hotel is very nice and an easy, short walk to Disneyland. The rooms were great. Very retro but very clean and big. great Coffee pod machine. Didn't get to check out the facilities, as as with most people who go there, spent most of our time at Disneyland. Highky recommend it. Great value and all you need and more... More

I was so pleased with the staff and service of the hojo Anaheim, The Staff was priceless, the hotel even being "retro" still looks in great shape, beds were comfy and just the best overall feel in town. Numbers on Buildings could be bigger and second access to parking would help :) More

stayed at the Howard Johnson during the tinkerbell 1/2 marathon weekend. location was quite important as we knew we would be walking to the park around 4 a.m. Hotel is a short walk to the park, Downtown Disney and Anaheim Garden Walk. Traffic is quite heavy around the park and it was a relief not having to deal with parking.... More

Great hotel for the purpose of going to Disneyland. Only a short walk over to the parks. Staff were friendly and helpful at checkin. Well stocked gift/small corner shop on site which stays open late for anything you need after coming back after the whole day out. More

Pros: Walk to Disney is easy, even for our four-year old. Great waterpark on property. Free wi-fi and parking and reasonably priced. Close to Mimi's Cafe (tip: sign-up for Mimi's emails and get a lot of coupons, four free cinammon buns, free entree with first entree...). You can watch the fireworks from your hotel room if you're view faces the... More
