Pros: Location, 10 minute walk to Disneyland. Near by restaurants small store in building 1 open from 12pm to 11pm very convenient. CONS: The pool and the splash water park get really crowded. Not enough room for all the rooms they have. Also on the last day of our stay which was a Saturday, the staff close down the jacuzzi at 8pm. There was a group of about 10 people enjoying it but they kicked us out and said they had to do some sort of service to it? We we stayed at the splash park until 10pm (closing time) and no one ever did anything to the jacuzzi. I found that odd and rude. Who does some sort of service to a jacuzzi on a Saturday night at 8pm when it's working perfectly fine and people are enjoying it. Someone did ask what kind of service they had to do but the staff had no answers. couldn't they wait till the next day to do whatever they had to do. We also got a letter Saturday morning saying the pool was going to be open only a couple hours of the day on Sunday, again due to some sort of service they had to do to it. I didn't really care since we were checking out Sunday morning but come on, one of the reasons you book a hotel is to enjoy their facilities and what's good if they have them close? I don't think I will return to this Hotel.

I’m almost scared to brag about how wonderful this hotel is for a Disneyland attendee because I don’t want my favorite hotel to be flooded, but I have to be honest: this is the best hotel to stay at by FAR if you’re going to Disneyland. It’s a 7-8 minute walk, completely flat for those using mobility aids, and the hotel itself is SO comfortable. Buildings 1 and 2 have been completely renovated! These buildings have elevators, so make sure to book them if you need elevator access. The customer service is beyond anything I have experienced anywhere else. I am a Disneyland regular and will not be staying anywhere else. It’s close enough that a nap during the day is possible, and the pool is perfect for those with kids. There’s also a pool more catered to adults as well! You can have your scooter directly delivered to the hotel which is incredibly convenient. All in all, I can’t recommend the HOJO highly enough!

Absolutely LOVED this hotel! Has the cutest Disney theming and great pool for kids! Comfy beds, very clean and the staff was amazing! We loved how close it is to Disneyland and how easy it was to pop back for naps during the day. We will be staying here every time we go to Disney now! Couldn’t recommend it more

While I've been to Disneyland many times, this was my first time staying here at this hotel and I loved it! The room (i stayed in building 1) was beyond cute and the beds were supper comfy! I had a park view and was able to watch the fireworks from my balcony my first night there! The best part is the distance to the parks! I'm a pretty fast walker, so it took me less then 10 minutes to get to the parks! Made doing a quick outfit change a breeze. I can't recommend this hotel enough and I can't wait to be back in the future!

jeff aj5 winston | Aug 22, 2019
Tom Backus | Aug 22, 2019

Yes they are happy to hold luggage for you. We arrived early and they took our luggage and we were able to use the water park area until room was ready.

Is the pressure very expensive? Can someone tell me how much they charge more less? thanks...

Ramón Duran | Aug 22, 2018
Velvet Quiroz | Aug 22, 2018

We pay $ 170 per night. It is an 8 minute walk to Disneyland. At night we managed to see the fireworks from the balcony. It is very clean and you don't hear any noise from the neighbors or the street. We stay on the fifth floor. I recommend it 100 percent. The water park is fabulous. The pool is not to mention. The water is always warm. Walking you will find a variety of restaurants and souvenir shops. 😉👍

Will parking be available when we arrive? I read a review that said the lot was small...

Kelly Dixson | Aug 22, 2019
Elizabeth Kjelby | Aug 22, 2019

Call the hotel to verify. They say if they're close to selling out they won't allow extra vehicle parking on the property and divert other places (to other hotels, I'd guess). If you're coming at a busy time, call ahead!! They're usually really helpful for all of your questions!!

Where can I smoke my medical marijuana on property?

Gabriel Valverde | Aug 22, 2019
Elizabeth Kjelby | Aug 22, 2019

Actually, marijuana is prohibited on the property. You can smoke on the sidewalk, but not on the property. Unfortunately, the hotel reserves the right to prohibit it on private property and they do not allow it, even in the smoking area.

Is there room service? Are ALL the rooms newly renovated now?... Any hidden fees at reservation check in?

Kelly Dixson | Aug 22, 2019
Elna Johnson | Aug 22, 2019

There is no room service and when we were there in February there were still rooms that we're not renovated yet. As for hidden fees - none that I recall. The only two issue we had was 1) when the kids opened up a single bed that was out in the open, they wanted to charge us for using it. Apparently there was a small note that wasn't visible stating that you get billed for using the bed if it's opened. 2) we booked through a third party for a weeks stay and they refused to give us our rewards points. Other than that it was a great stay! The location and water park make it my favorite place to stay while visiting Disneyland.

You have advertised in Anaheim a room which consists of 1 King Bed. There are 3 of us and under EXTRA BEDS available you have a crib. Can that be changed for a rollaway given our child is 10. Is there room?

Craig Page | Aug 22, 2019
Elizabeth Kjelby | Aug 22, 2019

The king room is not small, but I don't think it would fit the rollaway. Call the hotel ahead of time and verify! They'll tell you for sure!

do you have a shuttle to the airport and back?

The Emma & Melia channel | Aug 22, 2019
Elizabeth Kjelby | Aug 22, 2019

They don't have a shuttle but can help you get one. They offered to book a Super Shuttle on the way out. The Disneyland Express is also an automatic stop when you're on your way home. They also suggested using Super Shuttle when you come in since they have kiosks throughout the major airports.

Does the resort offer gluten and dairy free meals

Heather Robinson | Aug 22, 2019
Elizabeth Kjelby | Aug 22, 2019

The hotel doesn't have a breakfast, but they do have snacks in the store. Most of the snacks are wrapped in individual packaging, as well, so they would be safe if the food itself is safe.

Sandra Thaete | Aug 22, 2019

The walk is quick - only about 10 minutes if you walk slow. I'm not sure about the miles - maybe .25 miles?

Is there a shuttle you can get to the Disneyland gates?

Marguerite Gunning | Aug 22, 2019
Elizabeth Kjelby | Aug 22, 2019

Yes, it is the ART shuttle, where you can look up prices online or ask at the Front Desk, where they sell you the tickets. The tickets prices are for the whole day. The ART is slow, though. It only runs like every 20-30 minutes. The walk, if everyone can make it, is only about 10 minutes (if you move slow) to the security tents

Is parking free for guest

Huong Nguyen | Aug 22, 2019
Elizabeth Kjelby | Aug 22, 2019

The first car is included with each reservation until 3pm on the day of your check out. Any additional car or to stay past 3pm on your check out date is $20 plus tax, I think. Which is still cheaper than most other hotels or Disneyland's fees.

How early can we check in?

Roberta Fiske | Aug 22, 2018
Elizabeth Kjelby | Aug 22, 2019

As early as you want. They'll hold your bags and give you access to the pool if they don't have your room ready yet. Rooms are guaranteed by 4 pm since their checkout is really late at noon.

We've got a family of 5. Rooms look like 2 beds but no sleeper or couch. It says capacity of 5. What am I missing?

Sylvia Bravo | Aug 22, 2018
Monica Alvarado | Aug 22, 2018

You could probably call and ask them for a discount, especially during low times at Disneyland (kids in school, extremely cold weather, etc.,). You could also ask for military, police or firefighter discounts. It never hurts to ask.
