It was a nice hotel but the wifi connection was horrible pretty much didn't work the whole time. Walls were thin, heard everyone around us. Too close to the freeway and heard the cars all night. Had a nice pool area for the kids. Close walk to Disneyland and dining areas.

Positives: Clean and friendly staff. Nice swimming pool for kids.

Negatives: Small, bad wifi connection. Too close to freeway. Can hear everyone around your room.

If you are looking for a decent hotel within walking distance to Disneyland, this is a good option. It was clean and well-kept grounds.<BR/>A pool was good, but often ran out of towels.<BR/>A second pool playground water park area was good for the kids. Adult pool should have a jacuzzi though.

Positives: Location close to Disneyland, and pool.

Negatives: Late checkin.

HoJo's is fantastic for families. The store is well stocked with goodies. the staff is very accommodating, the rooms are clean and the grounds are lovely. We like that we can hear the Disneyland train whistle at the hotel. If we can't do a Disney Resort Hotel, we always stay at Howard Johnson-Anaheim.

Positives: HoJo's is one of our favorite Disneyland hotels. The rooms are spacious and clean.

Negatives: We couldn't stay an extra night because the hotel was sold out.

Clean rooms and decent beds. Good maid service. Our room had two sinks, one outside the bathroom - very nice feature. Quiet even though it was full of Disneyland families. If you don't like the sound of the freeway, the rooms facing the freeway might bother you. The TV is nothing to crow about and movies are expensive, so don't plan on watching it. With two pools (one of them a kids' play area) and a hot tub, it's a great place to take a break during the busy early afternoons at Disneyland.

Positives: I liked the proximity to Disneyland and the food and atmosphere at Mimi's. The maid service was excellent. And you can buy beer in the hotel store.

Negatives: The room was not ready at check-in time.

Great location easy walking distance to Disney, many restaurants again within easy walking distance.

Positives: Walking distance to Disney.

Negatives: I-5 noise.

It is in a great location however they could update the hotel a bit. It is very dated and does not reflect the price tag of the hotel. But because of it is so close to Disneyland, I am sure they do not feel renovation is necessary which is a shame.

Positives: It was very close to Disneyland.

Negatives: It was not very updated and not worth.

The room was large and clean, and walking distance to Disneyland.

Positives: The balcony that was with my room, huge bathroom.

Negatives: Needs free coffee in the lobby, and better cable.

I liked the hotel. Very close to Disneyland, right across the street. The rooms were clean also.

Positives: I liked the lobby.

Negatives: The freeway was right behind us.

The customer service was very good. The rooms were clean. Parking was good. If you want good rest you need to make sure that the room is located away from the freeway.

Positives: The front desk help were friendly, great location.

Negatives: The bed was very uncomfortable, wish I was fore-warned of room location by the freeway.

Close to Disneyland but need more cleaning of Rooms and hallways.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Cleanliness, facilities.

Booked this hotel due to location as it is with in walking distance to Disney. Rooms were clean, has two pools and an on sight convenience store. I travel for work, so have a range of facilities to compare this room against. The beds were old, and made it difficult to get a good night sleep. The cleaning crew started 7:30 am due to the fact that Disney opens at 8 am and they expect all rooms to be empty before the park opens. We were woken up every morning due to this room service knock and door opening every morning. There are a number of facilities with in the same price range with in walking distance to Disney that we will go to next time around.

Positives: Proximity to Disneyland.

Negatives: Old beds, old AC units, no breakfast.

The hotel staff was friendly and provided answers to all of our questions. The best feature was its location relative to the Disney Resort parks--just a five minute walk--and nearby family dining. The in-room refrigerators were much appreciated and useful for families with small children.

Positives: The location was convenient relative to Disneyland Resort.

Negatives: Registration area and entrance should be more clearly posted, it's hidden.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 02 Apr 2006 rated 10 out of 10.

The hotel is a great for the area. The location makes it easy to access the attractions in the area.

Positives: The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly and helpful.

Negatives: The road noise from Harbor Bldg. Was very loud.

This is a good value, for the money. The room was good-sized, carpet clean, and a short walk to Disneyland. The ongoing renovation does limit use of the facility, but this should be completed soon. I think they could provide more than one package of condiments for the coffee maker, but the room includes a small fridge, a nice feature. The room faced the freeway, so the traffic noise was present. After one day in the park, we were tired enough not to notice the freeway noise. Good basic hotel, one step above the budget motels.

Positives: Convenient to Disneyland, which is the destination for most visitors.

Negatives: Still undergoing renovation, freeway noise a little high.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 01 Jan 2006 rated 8 out of 10.

It was clean and close to different foods and entertainment. Price was great for the location. I would stay there again.

Positives: Just a few steps from Mim's and the entry to Disney park.

Negatives: Room was to warm at night with no help from the desk.

Across from entrance to Disneyland. Restaurant within in walking distance. Room was clean. Staff was "Disney" friendly.

Positives: Very friendly staff - easy to locate.

Negatives: Far off highway.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 01 Jun 2005 rated 10 out of 10.

This hotel is in an excellent spot. You are close enough to Disneyland to walk, but far enough away that you don't get all of the noise. The rooms at this hotel were very nice with excellent neutral lighting. The pool area is great! We will definitely stay here again!

Positives: great atmosphere both in room and around hotel

Negatives: maid service was not what it should have been

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 30 May 2005 rated 10 out of 10.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Location was walking distance from Disneyland. Right next to the freeway which was a little bit loud. Great accomodations

Positives: was able to secure a king size bed and non-smoking

Negatives: no continental breakfast

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 29 May 2005 rated 1 out of 10.

First, none of the vending machines on any of the four floors worked properly, second, there was MOLD in the bath tub, and on the bath mat and shower curtain, there was no fan in the bathroom, third, there was a broken electrical socket right next to the bed, fourth, the patio was filthy, and there was an air conditioner drain pipe jutting out across the patio, which is a trip hazard in the dark. I am very disappointed this time.

Positives: Close to Disneyland

Negatives: Substandard quality...will NOT stay here again!
