"A very nice Husband & Wife team run this place well. They appear to take pride in the property, the rooms & the service they provide. I work nights, & was able to sleep relatively soundly during the day. My room was clean, orderly & well provisioned. The King Sized Bed, was comfortable. I now see why these folks are rated highly on Expedia. Thank you folks for the excellent Customer Service, you provided to a travel weary & sleepless patron!"

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel & Water Playground

5/5 Excellent

"We love the proximity to Disneyland. Two to check-in. This was our first stay. I was worried because it's best for a family. But they placed us in a quiet room. Staff was excellent. Very nice grounds. Few improvements if I may suggest. Room was clean but the rug had a rip in it and looked old. No drip coffee on the premises. There's a Keurig in the room. But even in the lobby doesn't have coffee. You have to go across the street to another hotel to get drip coffee. Last, given it is an icon of a hotel being built a long time ago the two story building we were in had no elevator. That was a surprise. All in all the room was cute like a step back in time. Water pressure amazing. We had a great time for a great price."
