This property met all our needs. First of all, every staff member we encountered was courtious and nice. We arrived early and they were able to get a room for us at our time of arrival with an upgrade. It was very hot the week we were there and the water park on site my grand kids loved. They enjoyed it almost as much as Disneyland. It's an 8 minute walk to Disneyland. I highly recommend Howard Johnson's by Wyndham Hotel and water playground

The parking lot could be bigger, we had a hard time finding spaces for our 2 cars (we had 2 rooms.) plus a few more luggage racks avail for guest use would also be great. Everything else was top notch and great.

Stayed for four nights in building 2 while visiting Disney. Close to the parks, about a 5-10 minute walk. There is also a bus (paid fare) that stops outside the hotel for the parks (we did this one day when our feet were too sore to walk!). Room was very clean, was cleaned once over the four days. Pool area was nice, good mix of sun and shade. Store on property was convenient. Staff were all lovely and held our bags when we first arrived and before we left so we could grab food and explore. Overall we had a nice stay and would recommend!

An easy walk to Disneyland Parks. Staff is very knowledgable about the area and will share what's nearby (ex. food, convenient stores, etc.). Water Park was a lot of fun for my littles (1 and 5 years old) and was a great way to spend a day of relaxing after days of walking around the parks. Lastly, absolutely loved that we got to enjoy the fireworks every night of our stay as they were perfectly viewable from our room.

Everything was amazing except for a weird smell we had in the bldg that smelled like urine but you could tell it was cleaning products. It was still really strong and not pleasant. Other than that everything was absolutely amazing. The location is very convenient especially if you are looking to go to Disney. Staff was very nice and friendly. The rooms were clean and spacious. We loved our stay.

Property was definitely dated. Buildings smelled of ammonia/animal urine in the halls and in the rooms. Water pressure for the shower is barely sufficient for showering. Air conditioning systems do not properly dehumidify, so you must turn the temperature uncomfortably low in order to rid the humidity from the room. Had to pay extra for parking. Hotel amenities listed self service parking available, but I did not expect to have to pay a fee on top of the room fee for parking. All in all, if I had to do this trip again, I would stay elsewhere. Definitely not worth the money to stay here.
