"Great place to stay. Family friendly. Great staff"

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel & Water Playground

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Howard Johnson this past Friday and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made check‑in incredibly smooth. Our room was clean, comfortable, and surprisingly spacious — exactly what we needed after a long day. We’ve stayed at many of the neighboring hotels over the years, and this one easily rises to the top of our list. The property is well‑maintained, feels safe, and has thoughtful touches that make the stay feel genuinely cared for. One of the biggest highlights is the location. The proximity to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure is unbeatable — our walk from the hotel to the park gates was only about eight minutes door to door. It made getting in and out of the parks incredibly convenient and stress‑free. It was the perfect place for a quick getaway, and we’ll absolutely be returning the next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend!"
