Our family really enjoyed HOJO. We came in earlier than the check in time but they were able to check us in which was really nice. They have a waterpark, pool and hot tub which we did on our free days. The hotel is a bit far from Disney but it was just across the street from Marriott Courtyard. There is also a market place/gift shop next to the reception area. Although the hotel is older but you can tell that it is very well maintained and was very clean. We were assigned at bldg 2 where they have the newly renovated rooms. We have large room with a microwave and a fridge. The staff were also very accommodating and they are also quick to respond to our requests. We definitely recommend this hotel esp if you have smaller children.
