Very polite and helpful staff. Check in and out was quick and pleasant. Room and hotel was very clean and amenities were good. Very close to Disney Land and Adventure Park. Also close to restaurants and other food options.
The room was spacious and clean, the staff were very friendly and we really enjoyed the proximity to the parks without feeling like we were on top of Harbour Blvd in a parking lot. Some of the other hotels definitely feel that way but not the HoJo! It felt like a nice retreat away from the parks. We will definitely stay here again
Hotel and staff were great. We were given an upgraded room to watch the firework show and my kids really enjoyed it. Perfect walking distance from Disneyland and we very much appreciated being able to leave our car there for the day.
We loved the location of this HOJO! Easy walking distance to Disneyland. Check in was a breeze and the staff were very friendly. The rooms were larger than expected and very clean!
