Water park is fun for kids and super clean. Our room was right next to the elevator, which was noisy at night.

Great water slides and close to Disneyland. No elevator, which is a hassle.

Our room was a total letdown—no elevator meant hauling heavy bags up a flight of stairs while juggling sleepy kids. The outdated decor felt depressing, and a moldy ceiling didn't help. Definitely not worth the price we paid!

The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. The water playground is a blast for kids and the location is a breezy 12-minute walk to Disneyland.
Room cleaning every three days felt a bit odd.

Howard Johnson By Wyndham Anaheim offers a prime location just a short walk from Disneyland, perfect for families. The clean and comfortable rooms are complemented by a delightful splash pad for kids. be prepared for limited cell service and room restrictions with larger strollers.

Check-in was a breeze, and the staff, especially Nicole, made everything easy. Tower 1 was clean, modern, and silent despite facing the freeway. The pools were great, though the lifeguards felt a bit overzealous. The walk to Disneyland was short and manageable. On the downside, the parking fee seemed steep at $20 per day, and the bunk beds rattled too much for comfort. Minor hiccups with the hot tub not being accessible for kids were disappointing. Still, a cozy spot for families, and I've already booked my next stay.

Convenient location just a short walk to the park. Staff were super friendly and made us feel at home.
It was a bit pricey but still reasonable for what we got.

I had an amazing experience staying here because it was less than a 5-minute walk to the Disneyland entrance making it an ideal basecamp for visiting the park and also just a short stroll to plenty of awesome restaurants like Mimi's Cafe just around the corner and with super comfy beds and nice rooms I was really able to relax after a long day exploring but the hotel could really improve by adding a bar or restaurant on-site.

The bed was incredibly comfortable, with soft linens and pillows that ensured a restful night. The room was spacious, offering plenty of room for our family. The bathroom was a nice size and well-equipped. Temperature control worked perfectly, keeping the space cozy. Initially, we faced noise issues due to the freeway, but staff quickly accommodated our request for a quieter room, which was much more peaceful. Lighting options were excellent, featuring both bright and dim lights for our needs. Cleanliness was impressive, with well-maintained furnishings enhancing our stay. The retro Disney decor added a fun touch.

Totally recommend! 😊❤️

Great staff and kids loved the splash park. Pillows were lumpy.

Exceptional lobby staff. Friendly and eager to assist. They tagged our luggage before check-in and guided us with clear directions. Room exceeded expectations. Proximity to Disneyland is a major plus. The water park is a fantastic draw for kids, and the property feels inviting with lots of greenery. communication can improve significantly. Inquiry responses took too long, and desk staff could adopt a more customer-focused approach. Our room size was insufficient for five guests, and parking fees are excessive, especially for oversize vehicles. Noise from the pool area disrupts the peace in certain buildings.

So close to Disneyland, the family suite was lit, and the water park had us chillin' while our little bro was having a blast. The staff was dope, property clean, and nearby eats were fire. Can't wait to flex here again with the squad!
Wish there was a more lit party vibe for us young party animals.

charming hotel, charming staff with incredibly helpful front desk assistance that made it easy for us to find local dining deals and a great pool area for kids that includes a fun water slide and relaxing hot tub.
Nothing not to like.

The hotel's proximity to Disneyland was a major plus for us, making it super convenient for our family to visit the park. The pool areas were great, providing a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the theme park. We also appreciated the retro vibe of the hotel, adding a fun and charming touch to our stay. On the downside, the decor in our room felt a bit tired and could use a refresh with some new carpets and a fresh coat of paint. The bunk beds in the living room were a bit inconvenient for us, as we would have liked to stay up and watch TV after putting the kids to bed. the noise from the freeway nearby was quite disruptive, making it hard for us to get a good night's sleep. we did enjoy the comfortable beds and linen in our room, as well as the amenities like the fridge and coffee machine. The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating, adding a pleasant touch to our overall experience. It would have been nice to have a continental breakfast option or more dining choices within the hotel. In terms of services, the key-card scanners for building access were a bit finicky, and the daily housekeeping only available upon request was a minor inconvenience. The $25 per night parking fee and only receiving one wristband per guest for pool access were additional small drawbacks. Despite its flaws, Howard Johnson offers a convenient and comfortable stay for those looking to be close to Disneyland. Just be prepared for some noise issues and minor inconveniences along the way.

Imagine a cozy spot, just a short skip from Disneyland, where your crew can kick back after a long day soaking up the magic. Our stay was a dream, with comfy digs and plenty of fun at the water park. The staff were top-notch and the bedtime routine was a hit with the kids, especially the bunk beds and park views!
My kids wished for a heated water park for more splashy fun.

Loved coming back for a swim during our hectic Disney days. Meeting Disney characters during breakfast was hilarious, especially when my daughter tried to steal Mickey's waffles. The garden pool was a tranquil escape from the Disney chaos.
Enjoyed the lovely freeway noise lullaby every night.

Located a short 8-minute walk to the famed theme park, with plenty of dining options nearby. The rooms were cozy and staff were friendly and helpful, ensuring a comfortable stay.
The room options were limited for families of five, with no ideal choices available upon arrival. The lack of an onsite restaurant made dining a hassle, and the strict pool reservation system added unnecessary stress to our vacation experience.

The location was super convenient, just a short walk to the theme parks, and the rooms were clean and smelled amazing. Plus, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, from the front desk to the lifeguards. The west, facing rooms had a great view of the parks and the nightly fireworks show.
The room had limited bathroom space for toiletries, and there wasn't an on, site coffee spot for a quick grab, and, go option. It would have been nice to have a heated water park for the kids to enjoy more, as the water was too cold.

Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight! The staff at the front desk were incredibly friendly and polite, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The rooms were simply awesome, clean, and comfortable, with beds that felt like sleeping on a cloud. The hot showers were incredibly relaxing, washing away the tiredness from our long days at Disneyland. The location couldn't have been better, with the park right across the street, making it a perfect base for our adventures. Highly recommended!
Skylights on the top floor suites had no blinds, but this was not an issue for us as we were on a lower floor.

We had to park at the sister hotel next door. However, the room and location were great for our family trip to Disneyland. The pool restrictions were a bit disappointing.

i had an amazing experience at Howard Johnson. the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and they even gave my kids a complimentary time at the water playground. the location was perfect for walking to Disney, and the water park for the kids was a big hit. the bunk beds in a separate room made it really comfortable for the little ones. the room had all the necessities like a microwave, mini fridge, and a Keurig coffee maker, making our 11-night stay enjoyable.
No negatives from this place 😊
Excellent
