Not really impressed

Hotel is next to Disney Park. They don't serve breakfast. Hotel stay includes it's water Park rides. I booked a city view room but I don't think one I was given was a city view room so just check and confirm while check-in. I feel for the price there are much better hotels with more services included. Here you pay for parking $25 + taxes.

Overall decent. Condition of property a bit worn out. Right next to 405 so “city view” is really freeway-facing and you can hear the traffic even with the soundproofing. You can also hear upstairs and piping. Pillows are not very comparable. Staff was pleasant and communication was good. They accommodated our requests as best they could. Very kid friendly

We love the proximity to Disneyland. Two to check-in. This was our first stay. I was worried because it's best for a family. But they placed us in a quiet room. Staff was excellent. Very nice grounds. Few improvements if I may suggest. Room was clean but the rug had a rip in it and looked old. No drip coffee on the premises. There's a Keurig in the room. But even in the lobby doesn't have coffee. You have to go across the street to another hotel to get drip coffee. Last, given it is an icon of a hotel being built a long time ago the two story building we were in had no elevator. That was a surprise. All in all the room was cute like a step back in time. Water pressure amazing. We had a great time for a great price.

We stayed 2 nights at Howard Johnson Anaheim to go to Disneyland for one day. We were in an older room, building 5. Pros: Cute Grounds Fun Water Park for little kids Great being across the street from The Bistro Cons: -VERY noisy in Building 5 from the highway to the point our room shook & I did not sleep all night even with earplugs -The double beds in the older rooms are TINY. Very difficult to share a bed

Nice Stay

It was a fairly nice hotel. Had to get a different room because the elevator was down and my disabled sister was unable to do stairs. New room was small for our party size but we made it work. Overall nice stay. I would recommend building 2 as it is more updated and rooms have more space. Overall a nice hotel within walking distance to Disneyland

We really enjoyed staying at this property. We primarily picked this property because of the water slide park for kids and the short walk to Disneyland. I know that this is an older hotel. However, did not like that, there was no room service available. It would have been nice to have breakfast or a lunch, or even a light dinner at the hotel. It was definitely a short walk to some food spots which was good for our family.

Park view

Went to Disneyland for our son’s birthday! We stayed on the top floor (7) facing the park! (Building 1) Room was very clean and staff at check in were excellent! The downfall was no breakfast served in the morning. The room was very bright too so if you want to sleep in that will not happen!
