Recently completed a 7 night stay at this hotel while visiting Disneyland. I think we got a pretty decent rate as it was booked as a part of a air, hotel, and car package. We stayed in a double queen standard room in Building two. Before arriving I contacted the hotel and stressed we wanted a quite room facing the... More

My husband, I and our 8 year-old daughter spent 3 nights here, so we could see Disneyland. The hotel was so close to Disney. It was really nice to have Mimi's so close by. The room was bigger that your average hotel room, so there was plenty of space for our luggage. Everyone at the front desk was efficient and... More

I stayed at the Howard Johnson from 31Jan to 8Feb with my 2 adult kids. I wanted somewhere close to Disneyland and after reading the reviews decided to try it. Our flight landed early and we arrived early at Anaheim, the reception was quite busy but we were given our rooms immediately which was a bonus. I had booked a... More

My family of four, (2 adults & 2 kids), recently spent one night at this hotel. The hotel is clean and staff is very friendly and helpful. The Castaway Cove water play area was so much fun! The water is kept warm. Our children, 9- & 1-yr-olds, enjoyed every bit of it. I even enjoyed going down the slide with... More

For my first trip to Disney with my son, I was extremely disapointed in this hotel. The loby was beautiful! I was thinking, "alright...what a score!" I saw the outside of the buildings and was turned off. It was worse when I got into our room! I've stayed at lower chains and have had better rooms that what we had.... More

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
