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

Tropicana Inn and Suites
We've stayed at this hotel off and on over the years. The rooms are okay. The floors are old. But the problem was the trash being picked up. One morning at 6:30 the next 5:30. When you get to bed at midnight after a long day at Disneyland, its not what you want to hear.
