I love HOJO, but for my family of 5 with kids all a little too old for the tiny slides in the water area, it doesn't make sense anymore. We have started staying at the suite hotels on Harbor just south of Katella. The walk isn't bad and it gives us so much more space. Or, we splurge on the Courtyard next to HOJO.
I think their prices started getting too high after renovations. And I guess since people still pay those prices, that's that.
HOJO will always be my favorite for service and retro ambiance, but we've had to part ways thanks to value.
