Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Once we walked into Building 4, we were greeted by the overwhelming stench of urine. The smell was all through the hallways and into the guest rooms. Not only did the room smell, but it was decades out of date and completely unwelcoming — old appliances, no decor/artwork. We don’t need fancy accommodations, especially considering that we’d be gone from the room for the majority of our stay, but we absolutely could not handle the odor or subject our kids to those conditions. The front desk was willing to try and resolve our issue by moving rooms, but unfortunately they couldn’t guarantee a room for a second night. As a result, we checked out almost immediately after entering the room. The overwhelming smell was too much. (It lingered on our clothes and hair for hours.) On our way out of the building we saw a huge cockroach. Yuck.

The parking lot could be bigger, we had a hard time finding spaces for our 2 cars (we had 2 rooms.) plus a few more luggage racks avail for guest use would also be great. Everything else was top notch and great.

60s Vibe! Had a great time!
The Hotel staff was very professional and friendly. We ended up having to change rooms because the room we originally got was very warm. The AC was not working correctly and we found what looked to be mold on the window unit. It was a renovated bigger room with King bed and bunkbed, so that was disappointing and concerning. Called the front desk and the gentleman was very kind. Luckily there was another room available in another renovated building, but unfortunately since we wanted a bunkbed for my son, we only had a choice of a smaller room. No big deal, we were there for Disneyland and just wanted a nice, clean and cool bed to sleep in. The mini water park was a plus as well!!

Great for Families
In the row of hotel options right across the street from Disneyland, it was tough to choose which one looked best online. But I'm so glad we picked the Howard Johnson! Our room was spacious, clean, cute (loved the pirates of the Caribbean theme), and the kids loved the bunk beds. The water park was the best way to cool off on summer afternoons after time spent at the theme parks. We'll be coming back another time for sure!
