First let me say that whenever we come to the Anaheim area, if we can't stay at the Disneyland Hotel, we always stay at the Howard Johnson. It's a very large hotel that is set up in multiple buildings spanning over an acre. They have a wonderful pool in the rear of the property and opening this summer a pirate themed "water park" which we can't wait to see. The rooms have been recently upgraded and the new pillowtop mattresses were absoloutly heavenly! We had a fridge and microwave in our room which came in handy when I was preparing bottles at 2am. :) We had a nice sized balcony overlooking the monorail which was really nice because we'd make coffee in the morning and sit out on the balcony before heading over to the parks for the day while the little one was still resting. They have a very large gift shop that had a wide selection of affordably priced items, including ice creams! After a long day at DL we would buy Ice Creams to enjoy back in our room. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful in suggesting a place for dinner offsite. We look forward to our next stay at the Howard Johnson in December! Thanks, and keep up the wonderful service you guys provide at the Howard Johnson!

Rooms were great and close to disney. Very clean and comfortable. We went in the off season and the rooms were very afordable. Would love to stay again, but the rooms are some what pricey now.

This hotel lived up to it's previous reviews. It was clean, and kept clean daily, nice grounds, short walk to Disneyland, nice staff, and, truly, the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on. We would come back from Disneyland on our afternoon break and just collapse onto those beds and not want to get back up. I do wish the laundry room included more than just three washers and dryers, but at least there were some. One thing: we paid for the premium Disney view room. Don't bother. The view during the day is really non existant, and while you can see the fireworks between the giant evergreens planted right in front of the balconeys, my girls were tired of them after the second night. But overall, a really nice stay.

This hotel was perfect for our family of four (2 adults and 2 five-year olds) for four nights. This is not a fancy hotel and nor did we expect that for the price we paid. It was exactly what we were looking for: clean, comfortable, excellent service, a room with two double beds was a good size for us, the mini fridge in the room was handy, the pool was nice (just, too deep for our five year olds to play on their own- we needed to be in the pool with them), and surprisingly the room was quiet (we could hear the highway which was a hum - but did not hear anyone else in the rest of the hotel). Plus, the hotel is conveniently located, only an 8 minute walk to Disneyland's entrance. And, the parking at the hotel was free. We will return to this hotel when we go to Disneyland again.
