Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel & Water Playground
We had a great stay, the room was quite big. It was clean, had a microwave and even a dining table for 2-4 people! Parking was also nice and only a 10 minute walk to the Disney parks! Was able to go back to the hotel for lunch and back to the park! Would stay again
