Blah

Steve B (Gilbert, Arizona) on Mar 24, 2026

Location is great. The rest is blah. Booked a room for 5. Only after booking did they say that in order to sleep 5 we had to pay for a roll away bed every night. Ended up having to upgrade the room and bring our own mattress for 5th. That added $120 to the trip. We were put in their back tower. Not a big deal. Except all amenities are way up front. If you want to load your car or luggage to the hotel room, they only have carts in the main building. Every other building you’re out of luck. They also cleaned only 1 time in 4 days. Location is the best part.

Prime location. Quick walk and lots of food options around. Laundry room was clean and tidy. Staff was friendly! Pool was great and relaxing in the afternoon heat!

First time trip to Disneyland with my son

Curious07973051094 on Mar 11, 2026

I had a wonderful experience with the reservations team while planning our upcoming stay in August. Jennifer was extremely helpful and professional in assisting with my reservation, quickly updating the rate and accommodating a room request. Her communication was prompt, clear, and very friendly throughout the process. It's always reassuring when customer service is this responsive and thoughtful. Thank you, Jennifer, for making the booking process smooth and stress-free. We are looking forward to our stay!

Howard Johnson at Anahiem

Craig P (Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia) on Mar 10, 2026

The Howard Johnson at Anahiem is an easy 15min walk to Disneyland. Rooms were small but clean & tidy & had everything you needed in them. No restaurant on site but you are a 15min walk to several different dining options - cafe's, Denny's, IHOP, Tony Roma's, etc. There is an on-site convenience store that sells souvenirs, breakfast options, fruit, snacks, drinks, minor medical supplies, beer & wine (definitely needed after 10hrs + in Disneyland). Really enjoyed our stay.
