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!

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.

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.
