I am a partner of the Howard Johnson Anaheim and stayed at a discounted rate. I did not have to share this information and chose to on my own because we really love HoJo, as you can see! Be sure to scroll down for a coupon code!
I’ve stayed at quite a few hotels near Disneyland during our many trips there, but somehow I didn’t learn about the Howard Johnson Anaheim until recently. {That might be because it’s so close to Disneyland I never even saw it- I was too busy looking right across the street at the Parks!}
I first learned about HoJo from following lots of Disneyland fans on Instagram- it’s a popular place to stay amongst those who really know Disneyland because it’s just a short walk from Disneyland- literally under 10 minutes. Between how close they were and how nice the hotel looked, I knew we had to check them out- so last month when we were in Anaheim, we stayed at the HoJo!
We went up to our room first to drop off our luggage and check out the room, and we were all instantly in love. The room was bright and cheerful, and there was Disney art throughout. Zac had fun looking for all the Mickeys, and Shane went to check out the patio.
We could see Disneyland from our patio- we kept seeing the monorail go past and could even see Space Mountain! {That night, we were able to watch the fireworks from Disneyland!}
After we dropped off our bags, we walked over to Mimi’s Cafe for dinner- it’s just across the street from the hotel. {It’s so convenient, we went again for breakfast the next day!}
As soon as we pulled up to the hotel, the boys were asking to check out the Castaway Cove Water Playground. They have a wading pool for littles, a playground with water slides and water squirters, and even an adorable turtle named Speedy that Zac had fallen in love with on Instagram.
After dinner, the boys were ready to hit the water park so we spent a little time there- and some more time the next morning. They had so much fun trying out every single thing they had! There’s also a separate pool, but they were having so much fun with the water park that they didn’t even want to go to the pool this time- but they’re already asking if we can check it out next time we’re there!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Howard Johnson Anaheim and we can’t wait to go back next time we’re at Disneyland! If you want to check out the HoJo for yourself, be sure to click here to make a reservation! You can use code 1000022077 for 15% off your stay!
