Close walk to Disneyland

This was our first time staying at Howard Johnson. I loved how close it was to Disneyland, but didn’t like all the noise. We had a room directly across from the elevator and we heard people coming and going all day and night. We were woke up early to kids screaming and people talking loudly and woke up late from people coming back from their day. It was the worst location I have ever had in a hotel. It’s never fun to be near an elevator, but I’ve never seen a room so close to one. We also got to hear people opening and slamming the doors for the stairs if they decided not to use the elevator, so we were able to hear people no matter what. The road outside our window is really busy, so that was loud too. Didn’t get much sleep at this hotel. My kids were too old for the water park, so I’m not sure if that is good.

Great place to stay after a long day at Disneyland. Very safe and walkable from the harbor blvd exit of Disneyland. Plenty of restaurants that are all within walking distance. The staff was very accommodating and the room was nice and clean. We also made some time to enjoy the pool area and the kids water park area. Highly recommend. We’ll definitely be back!
