Excellent to stay with family

Great place to stay, closed to Disneyland park, near by restaurants and stores. The hotel room was nice and very clean., the parking to small and tie to park. The hotels staff very nice, I definitely recommend this hotel to families with kids

Ideal for Disneyland Trips!!!

Hojo is located just 7 mins from the parks and is our ideal place to stay. It doesn’t have a restaurant/bar for food but is across the street from multiple fast food and sit down options. Additionally it has a market that’s open from 7am to 11pm which has a good variety of snacks and drinks available that you can take to the park with you. Service is great at the hotel, the staff is friendly and responsive to any needs. The rooms are pretty standard with some rooms providing additional room/space or even a nice skylight if on the top floor. You also have a view of the parks if you’re on an upper floor. Again, great place to stay and a short walk to the front entrance of Disneyland. Would recommend!

Stay was OK

Zer0Divisor on Dec 24, 2024

This hotel is ... ok. They bill themselves as a "retro" feel - which is just a way to cover a lot of missing updates. The pool is alright, though the lifeguard literally followed us around in the tiny pool, which was pretty annoying. The waterpark was fun, though they struggled to stay staffed enough to keep the slide open -which wouldn't have been so hard if they hadn't needed to dedicate a staff member to aggressively check wrist bands at the door. Value wasn't that great - I'm a Platinum Wyndam member, and my one-nite stay here was 30k points - which can get you a much nicer location. On top of that, they charged for a rollaway bed (even though I booked for 5 people in a two queen room), almost charged for late check out (though they ended up comping it) etc. There's no on-site breakfast, either, though there are plenty of local restaurants. Overall, I wouldn't mind staying here again, but I definitely wouldn't go out of my way, and there are plenty of good-value options close by that I'd probably opt for first.

Great for families

I am not going to lie I had my doubts going into our trip. Rooms were more affordable than neighboring hotels so I figured this place would be not so nice. While it is not fancy it’s super clean, super close to Disneyland, and cute. The view of the fireworks was amazing! Glad we stayed here and didn’t pay it of our nose to do it.
