This is my second time staying at The Howard Johnson Anaheim and it is one of our favorite hotels anywhere! It's just lovely in every single way. Very clean, incredible staff, extremely comfortable beds. Roomy, nice aesthetic. We will stay here every time we go back to Anaheim! It's also nice and close to the Disneyland park entrance. Definitely walkable!!!

Clean place we enjoy - two things that could be better: refrigerator in the room does not have freezer section, bummer we always like to freeze water bottles. The hotel has a small Keurig coffee maker in the room, would really like if they had fresh coffee available in the front office.

We were staying here to go to Disneyland! Easy walk to the park! The room has a retro vibe(which I liked) but our shower took a while to get warmish and there are not enough outlets in the room~to accommodate modern technology (all the smart things we have to charge)! I did love the outside sink and mirror so that a couple people can get ready at the same time! It was decorated cute for the holidays 🎄

6/10 Good

Very average
This hotel is in a great location for the park, even better, we had a fantastic view of fireworks from our balcony. The hot water was hit and miss. We put in a service call the first night we arrived for the morning, but then it was hot again so we cancelled it. Unfortunately went back and forth the three days we were there. The air conditioning unit blew out a terrible smell when the fan was on. We considered requesting a room change, but were too exhausted to pack everything up. It seems to be an old hotel that just hasn't been maintained to top quality. It was also a little annoying to have the small waterpark area and the pool so separate from each other. For the price, plus the extra 25US/night for parking, I would say not worth it.
