Don't stay on the second floor!
Everything was great until we went to bed and realized the lights from outside shine right into the uncovered rounded windows on the second floor. We hardly slept because it was like daytime in our room all night. This made for a really rough next day at Disneyland. Other than that major downfall, the staff and cleanliness was outstanding.

Family friendly hotel
Happy with our stay at Howard Johnson as always. We have enjoyed a number of stays over the years and this was no exception. The rooms are always tidy, clean and comfortable, and equipped with a microwave oven and coffee machine, so breakfast is readily prepared with supplies from the small on-site shop, which operates until 11pm daily. The pool is a nice feature, though we did not make use of it on this occasion.

Could be better.
Paying to park your car is a charge that should just be included in the room, I hate the added fees and taxes after everything. You come to have a vacation and more charges add up that are never disclosed prior. Each year the prices for things go up to then see nothing new/improved makes it feel less valuable to the consumer. The staff was friendly at the front desk, just wish the obscene price for parking/fees would be absorbed by the hotel as they are not doing anything with having your car there, just another way to get a little more money.

Great Hotel
The staff were so friendly, the hotel rooms were clean and updated, and the beds were super comfortable after a long day on our feet. The walk from the hotel to Downtown Disney was only a few minutes and super easy. We will definitely stay here again!

The water park is cool. Heated pool is a plus for my little one. Gentlemen in the front desk was so nice to us. Comfy beds and cozy clean rooms. The only thing missing was complimentary water bottles. I was so thirsty. However, they do have a mini mart inside the hotel. Other then that everything is great 👍

It was okay.
It was okay. The hotel is older, which I love a retro hotel. My issue is that things like the bathroom were poorly tiled and they just put calking to fill huge gaps. Then it molded. It wasn’t the worst bathroom but it could have been better.
