Rooms & Suites

Howard Johnson By Wyndham Anaheim Hotel & Water Playground offers rooms with two double beds or two queen beds, accommodating up to five persons. Select rooms feature bunk beds, pull-out sofa sleepers, and pirate-themed decor. All rooms include a mini-fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, and free Wi-Fi. Premium rooms have balconies with views of Disneyland(R) Resort or the Garden Pool. ADA-accessible rooms are available with wider doorways and roll-in showers.

Mimi's Café, located adjacent to the hotel, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a kids' menu and specialty coffee drinks. Nearby dining options include Bubba Gump Shrimp, Tortilla Jo's, and Napa Rose at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel.

Water Playground & Pool

Castaway Cove is a pirate-themed water playground with slides, water cannons, a toddler wading pool, and a hot tub spa. The Garden Pool, surrounded by mature trees, is heated and open year-round. Both facilities are exclusive to registered guests and operate from 10 AM to 10 PM. Complimentary pool towels are provided.

Location & Transportation

The hotel is an 8-minute walk from Disneyland(R) Resort and 25 km from John Wayne Airport. Anaheim Resort Transit (ART) provides shuttle service to Knott's Berry Farm, Honda Center, and local shopping centers. Karmel Shuttle offers airport transfers and trips to Catalina Island. Parking is available on-site until noon on departure day.

Guest Services

Front desk staff assist with Disneyland(R) ticket purchases and tour bookings. Complimentary Wi-Fi, iMac stations, and a guest laundromat are available. Scooter and stroller rentals can be arranged for Disneyland visits. Housekeeping service is provided every second day, with additional cleaning available upon request.

“Here's my take: this Anaheim hotel is serious about family fun, especially the water playground. I see unique touches of mid-century modern decor, plus character dining, not something you find everywhere. And with those themed suites, it's clear this place is thinking about more than just a room for the night.”

The hotel is conveniently located close to Disney.
This made hauling luggage to the second floor difficult. I found the lack of assistance frustrating.
