4/10 Fair

Do not recommend- better hotels in the area.
The room itself was nice and clean. They had cute decorations around the grounds and it was very clean. And they had a cute touch of sending a letter from Santa to my 4 year old that left a letter in their lobby. Pool areas were okay- not as big as the pictures make them look. However- this hotel charged much more than we were originally quoted through Hotels.com. Tried charging us a late check out fee even though we were out at 11am (they did refund this eventually). Charged for a rollaway bed but never informed us there would be a separate charge. And then another $75 for parking. For that alone- would not recommend unless you plan on spending $150+ from your original quote. We chose this one because it was cheaper than our normal hotel that’s right across the street. And ended up paying even more with a further walk. Also hotel is not very close and after a long day at Disney that walk seems even longer and it’s tucked away by the freeway where a lot of transients are.

Don't stay on the second floor!
Everything was great until we went to bed and realized the lights from outside shine right into the uncovered rounded windows on the second floor. We hardly slept because it was like daytime in our room all night. This made for a really rough next day at Disneyland. Other than that major downfall, the staff and cleanliness was outstanding.

Family friendly hotel
Happy with our stay at Howard Johnson as always. We have enjoyed a number of stays over the years and this was no exception. The rooms are always tidy, clean and comfortable, and equipped with a microwave oven and coffee machine, so breakfast is readily prepared with supplies from the small on-site shop, which operates until 11pm daily. The pool is a nice feature, though we did not make use of it on this occasion.

Could be better.
Paying to park your car is a charge that should just be included in the room, I hate the added fees and taxes after everything. You come to have a vacation and more charges add up that are never disclosed prior. Each year the prices for things go up to then see nothing new/improved makes it feel less valuable to the consumer. The staff was friendly at the front desk, just wish the obscene price for parking/fees would be absorbed by the hotel as they are not doing anything with having your car there, just another way to get a little more money.

Great Hotel
The staff were so friendly, the hotel rooms were clean and updated, and the beds were super comfortable after a long day on our feet. The walk from the hotel to Downtown Disney was only a few minutes and super easy. We will definitely stay here again!

It was okay.
It was okay. The hotel is older, which I love a retro hotel. My issue is that things like the bathroom were poorly tiled and they just put calking to fill huge gaps. Then it molded. It wasn’t the worst bathroom but it could have been better.
