Property was 10 min walking distance to Disneyland. Rooms were clean. Customer service was okay. Ground keepers were not friendly. Outside property had an ant infestation. My car was covered inside and on the hood with ants. Management accused me of having food droppings in my car due to traveling with young kids, which attracted the ants which was not true. We missed our last day at Disneyland because it took hours to clean our car and multiple washes at a nearby car wash to get rid of the ants including purchasing several bottles of ant spray. Ants were still in our vehicle. We checked out late because we had to clean our vehicle again at the car wash and was charged late check out fee. We were exhausted from having to scrub our vehicle 5 to 6 times prior to leaving Cali headed home. Almost fell asleep behind the wheel multiple times. A 4 hour drive to our first stop for the evening took 8 hours. We traveled back to Colorado with ants still in our car. Management waived the parking fees which we're grateful for but blamed us for the ants and it was on their property. I do not recommend staying here as they do not hold themselves accountable for their bug infestation. Ground keeper did mention they were aware of the ant problem and was planning to take care of the issue. Management denied it. I will never, ever stay here again or any Howard Johnson establishment.

The hotel is good for kids to have fun only thing I didn’t like is that you have to wear a wristband in order to enter the pool and the water playground also they charge you for parking is not included with your stayed and pretty much you get charge for a lot of things if you want to check out late and some other things.

Me and my family enjoyed our stay but wished we could’ve checked in earlier and checked out later. They offered it for an extra 30 each and we had requested it and when we arrived to check in early they said our room wasn’t available till 3 luckily there was a lot of restaurants so we just dinned in till 3 pm my kids enjoyed the pool and the play ground area especially the assign seating in the kids area. When it came to check out I was hopping that had gotten approved but it didn’t SO WHY EVEN OFFER IT. when it was around 10:20 am maintenance knocked and by the time I went to the door she had opened it herself and just apologized and closed it which we didn’t mind because we were already packed up and ready to go. Got charged 12 dollars x3 for “long distance” because my kids were calling their grandma to check up on her. Parking was good, facility was clean loved the fact the swimming areas had towels and life vest for kids. Rachel made checking in so easy and explained everything so well!

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

Once we walked into Building 4, we were greeted by the overwhelming stench of urine. The smell was all through the hallways and into the guest rooms. Not only did the room smell, but it was decades out of date and completely unwelcoming — old appliances, no decor/artwork. We don’t need fancy accommodations, especially considering that we’d be gone from the room for the majority of our stay, but we absolutely could not handle the odor or subject our kids to those conditions. The front desk was willing to try and resolve our issue by moving rooms, but unfortunately they couldn’t guarantee a room for a second night. As a result, we checked out almost immediately after entering the room. The overwhelming smell was too much. (It lingered on our clothes and hair for hours.) On our way out of the building we saw a huge cockroach. Yuck.

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.
