Very disappointing that the room was warm and took hours to cool down even a little bit, had to call and have a fan brought up. Tried to log onto The features offered in the room, ie: Pandora,etc. again employee came up and could not get it connected. Paid for a “ Park View” (Disneyland), could only see the very top of Matterhorn, had a view of the rooftop of the two buildings in front of us and the cars going by on Harbor Boulevard. (Pic available). This was part of a 50th birthday surprise for my cousin, and needless to say we were very unsatisfied with our visit.

Hello, We are sorry to hear you were not completely satisfied during your recent stay with us. We always encourage our guests to let us know if there are any issues with their room accommodations. We are so disheartened that we were not able to better assist you. Due to the way Disneyland is built, only Disneyland properties can view directly into the park. We apologize for any miscommunication regarding the views from the room. We also apologize that your room took a long time to cool down. We are happy that we were able to get you a fan to help cool down the room. We really hope you give us another try and allow us the opportunity to better serve you and your family in the future.

The children's pool play park was great! Our granddaughter had a blast on the slides and shallow kidde pool. We stayed in building 1 and the rooms were very clean and updated. The walk to the Disney parks was vey convenient; only about 10 minutes or so.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your recent stay with us. We are glad your granddaughter had a blast in our waterpark and that our hotel was a convenient walk for you to Disneyland. It’s also great that you were able to stay in one of our renovated rooms. We are currently planning renovations on building 2 for later this year and hope to have the entire property fully renovated within the next few years. We hope to see you during your next trip to the Anaheim Resort.

Had a wonderful experience! Employees were all so friendly and helpful. Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim was such a fun place. Perfect for our family with two connecting rooms. Grandchildren loved the water park. We loved the decor. Was very close and easy to get to Disneyland. Will be back for a longer stay!!

I honestly had high expectations for this hotel since it has such great reviews but unfortunately, I was disappointed. The Pros: Across Disneyland, parking is free, and the kids enjoyed the water park. The Cons: too expensive for the quality, rooms outdated, carpet and curtains looked dirty, there were not enough carts for luggage, no breakfast and the customer service was mediocre. I will not be returning here. For the price, I’d rather stay at the Marriott Suites.
