    I know the staff can be busy. However, on all instances that we have requested for a kettle and towels, I had to call reception again to follow-up.

    Close to Disneyland. Easy check-in and check-out.

    It would have been good if there was milk or creamer supplied in the room to go with morning coffee.

    Check in staff were very welcoming and lovely, we loved the retro style/design, the artwork in the rooms, the beds were super comfortable and sheets 10/10 clean and soft, all the details were well taken care of. Our son enjoyed the water splash area and the pool, it felt very safe and well attended by pool lifeguards.

    I wish they offered breakfast. It was a pain that they didn't offer anything and we had to go somewhere else to eat. I would have paid a little extra just to eat at the hotel.

    It was easy to walk to Disneyland from the hotel, and our kids loved the water park and pool at the hotel. The staff was helpful and friendly.

    Almost nothing because I was satisfied with everything, well maybe they don’t have restaurants and bars in the facility which could be the only take on them

    I booked a room for a family of 4 with bunker bed for the kids but when arrived they upgraded me to whole suite which was really spacious and very comfortable

    The ants that swarmed my car, that came from a tree. lol but that’s minor- the stay was great though .

    I love how friendly the staff is, always willing to help with a smile and go the extra mile to make sure you have an amazing stay. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfy. I love how close it is to Disneyland 5 min walk and you are at the gate.

    It was an easy walk to Disney and felt very safe. There was lots of places to walk to to eat close by. The shop on site was very expensive. $30 for sunscreen but I didn’t have or need a rental car so saved on parking! We didn’t use the water park so I can’t comment on that.

    There isn’t enough space on here for me to write everything I LOVED about my experience at the HoJo Anaheim. My husband and I had the most wonderful stay and were absolutely blown away by how clean, comfortable, and wonderful the property was, especially the STAFF! Every single HoJo team member we crossed paths with, from front desk to custodial, was kind, warm, welcoming, and efficient. The location is perfect as well! Easy walk to the parks each day.

    That they didn't offer breakfast. We spend about 2.9k on 2 rooms it would be nice if they offered free parking and free breakfast

    It was clean but I expected the room to be a bit bigger considering it's mainly families starting there

    We had planned since booking 4 months ahead to take advantage of the late check out so we could unwind with some pool time on our last day before heading to the airport. We had discussed it at booking and knew there was an extra charge and requested it in our online check in as well as our in person check in. The night before check out we were confronted by a rude employee who told us we would probably not get late check out as it was a first come first serve and they were booked solid. We were told we should never have "counted on" having late check out, but we would find out by 7pm that evening. We did not find out until the morning of our check out at around 9am, and were stressed trying to figure out what to do with ourselves until our afternoon flight. Also, very disappointed in the employee who scolded my husband in the lobby when he was seeking more info on why we were going to be possible denied the late check out (for by the way a policy that we were told had changed since we booked, the first come first serve late check out). Fortunately, we got the late check out, had fun pool time, and had great staff experiences at check out.

    The Room was very clean and comfortable. We loved the mid century theme. We had great service at check in (got into our room super early) and check out, especially having our bags stored on our final day at the property. The staff was helpful and cheerful and even gave our child a balloon sword (so fun). We got great suggestions on transportation as well.
