One of our best stays

lesliel701 (San Jose) on Oct 16, 2026

We have stayed at Howard Johnson’s Anaheim many times before and this had to be one of our best experiences. It started at check in. Cathy was very professional but at the same time very personable. She made sure that our request was honored and checked us in. The room was ready and we were able to get our belongings unpacked and head to Downtown Disney for dinner. Then when it was our day to check out I went down and talked to Rick about our wonderful experience and he made sure we were able to take advantage of our benefits and check out late. Looking forward to our next stay already.

Walk to California Disney

Mark H on Oct 11, 2026

We are from CT. and always wanted to visit California Disney. We walked from the Hotel to Disney (8 minute walk) while walking to Disney we passed a McDonalds and a Panera Bread. This Hotel is not a “High-end” hotel but it served our needs as we were here for just one night. The Hotel staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. The place was very clean. The only reason I gave it 4 stars in stead of 5 stars is because I don’t like shower curtains (very challenging to keep water in the shower tub area) and the drainage in the tub was poor in my opinion. ( when I take a shower I don’t want to feel the soapy water over my ankles.) For a one night or two night stay this is a great place and budget friendly!
