We’ve stayed at the Howard Johnson Anaheim three times in the past six years, and every visit has been outstanding. From the moment you check in, the staff is warm, friendly, and truly accommodating. This property is designed with families in mind, and it shows. When checking in, kids are greeted with balloons, and there are fun activities like meeting Baby Shark. For little ones (10 and under), the splash park is fantastic, while the regular pool is perfect for older kids and parents—you can even enjoy beverages poolside. The location is unbeatable. It’s just an eight-minute walk from the hotel to the Disneyland security entrance. Rooms are spacious, well-kept, and include a mini fridge—perfect for snacks and drinks. The management team goes above and beyond, and that’s one of the big reasons we return. Whenever we come back to California, we don’t even look at other hotels—this is always our go-to. As a bonus, you can view the Disneyland fireworks right from the property, and the pools stay open until 10 p.m., which is later than many nearby hotels. We highly recommend the Howard Johnson Anaheim to any families traveling to Disneyland.

We had a great experience staying at this hotel. Check-in was smooth, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Although I didn’t get the chance to meet Kriss in person, I hope to next time, especially since this will be our go-to hotel whenever we visit Disneyland again. We stayed in Building 4. The room was simple, clean, and comfortable with two queen beds. I really appreciated the two sinks, one inside the bathroom and one outside, which made getting ready much easier. There was also a small deck, which we didn’t use, but it was a nice extra touch. One thing to note is that the hotel doesn’t have an elevator. The stairs to the second floor aren’t too bad, but with a lot of luggage and a stroller, it became a bit inconvenient. Next time, I’ll definitely request a ground-floor room. The splash area for the kids was a big hit and there’s also a full-size pool on the other side of the property. Both were clean and well-maintained. Overall, I’d rate our stay 8 out of 10. It’s a great family-friendly option close to Disneyland and I definitely recommend it.

This hotel served our needs so well on our stay last Oct/Nov that we just booked it again for our impromptu stay for this year for the same time frame. We love the easy walk to Disneyland, as well as the fast food options along the way (McDonald’s and Panera). The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the rooms are very nicely styled and have comfy beds. The option of a room with bunkbeds is a no-brainer since it means I won’t be kicked or used as a pillow all night. The only small downside was that our queen/bunk room felt a little tight and had no space for a dresser. We made it work using the closet though. Having the little table and chairs in there was a good trade off though, as it gave our kids a place to eat. Even though it’s not in our budget to stay in, as a DisNerd, I love that they have the house of the retro future suite. Honestly, I love the entire retro aesthetic that they have throughout the hotel.

We came as an extended family. Jonathan on the front desk went over & above to see that we had rooms close together and on the same floor. The room had 2 queen beds and a bunk bed. Very well designed/equipped room. Limited food/bar options, but a bar/restaurant is under construction in the lobby. Easy 8 minute walk into Disneyland. The rooms on Harbor Blvd allow you to see the Disneyland fireworks. The pool is small & the "water park" is worn and a bit shabby, but the kids loved the water slides.
