I just got back from a stay on April 17-21. Stayed in a deluxe queen room that had fridge, microwave, keurig coffee maker, four keurig coffee thingys & four paper cups w/lids in room. There are packets with sugar/creamer/stir stick. There is an in-room safe, ironing board & iron and hair dryer. Ice bucket in room and and ice down the hall. We were in Building 2 on pool side. Could hear freeway in hallway but not in room. Could see fireworks from balcony. I thought that Hojo mini market was overpriced, but not outrageous. If you travel a few blocks south on Harbor you will come to a super Target that has better prices on milk, breakfast items and water. Your coffee will taste much better if you use bottle water over tap. I think I paid about the same price for a half gallon of milk at Target as I paid for about 10 ounces at the Hojo minimarket. Cereal cups were at least .25 cheaper at Target. So if you have a car, I would stop by the Target and stock up. It sells a lot of food items to travelling families. Pool has towels. You can print out a boarding pass in the lobby but may have to wait to get to one of two computers terminals as there is no time limit as to how long a person can be on and I had to wait through a string of teens checking Facebook, etc.

Due to an unforseen event it ended up being only my daughter and I in the room. The sinks are inside the bathroom as opposed to being outide on a vanity. If my husband had been there, this would have slowed us down in the mornings.

I did search for super target in the area and found one at Euclid? Is that the one you are talking about? Or did you got to the one on Harbor...I didn't notice it was a Super?

I'll be there in a couple of weeks and will find out the price and let you all know. I was interested in buying bottled water close to or at HoJo's since we are flying and won't have a rental car.

Love this thread! It has been SO helpful for me!!

We were just fine filling our wide-mouth, reusable water bottles with tap water and ice from the ice machine for free! So don't assume you'll need bottled water - I imagine it depends on where you're from and what your water is like there!

Just FYI - this depends on the room. We love building 2 so normally we are in rooms with the 2 sinks in the bathroom. But in staying in the other buildings/room types we found some of them have 1 sink inside the bathroom and 1 just outside the door. Or our last stay our room only had 1 sink.

Here's another map that shows the room layouts, and on the last page shows a map of the buildings on the property.

Awesome and super helpful, thanks again!

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let you know (if you didn't already) that HoJo's just added more dates in April and May for the Entertainment Card discount!

I just called this morning and was able to adjust my rates so now almost my whole stay is at this discounted rate!

 

[trctjs]

I was able to get the Kids Suite at $99 for one night of our 4.

I don't think they've even updated the website with these avail ent.rate discounts!

I added HoJo's to my facebook and now I get regular updates on these types of things- I highly recommend every do this! I had no idea that the rest of my May dates were avail at this rate until I checked my facebook last night and there was an update from the HoJo's!!!

Yippee!!!

I noticed you went to DL during July of last year. We will be going at the same time this year and was wondering what the weather was like? Thx

I think it depends what side of building 1 and 2 you are on, if you are on the pool side (Deluxe rooms) then you wouldn't hear the freeway, but if you got a standard room (like through DisneyTravel) then you would be on the freeway side and it might be loud.

Not necessarily. Our 3/09 room was a standard two queen (1215 I think) on the Disney side of the building. The only time we heard freeway noise was when I opened up the blacony door.

I can't find the facebook page. Can you post a link?

When I called yesterday to update my rates I asked about this. I have reserved a standard King and requested Bldg 2. The employee I spoke with told me that all Kings in Bldg 2 face the pool and not the freeway. I have no idea if this is the case for standard queens though....

I believe all of the queen rooms in building 2 are deluxe, with the standard queens in building 1. At least some of the deluxe queens in building 2 face the pool because that is normally where we stay.

Thanks so much for the link to Hojo's Facebook!

We have just been checking the website daily and got 5 of our 7 nights of our May stay at the Ent. rate. We have requested a NQQ2 double.
From everything we've read here, we won't be dissapointed

 

[rentayenta]

I really hope they add our 2 nights in June. I would really really like to stay there but not for only $25 less a night than the PPH.

Only a $25 difference?? How'd you manage that??

 

[Leshaface]

Hope I'm not going too OT here, but how do you know what the Entertainment rates are? Is it somewhere on their website? Also, I know they used to give an AP discount...do they still do that??

They have the standard 20% off for APs but now they also have the 50% off rate for APs on the same days it is offered for the Entertainment rate. So you can get the discount with your AP, instead of having to get an Entertainment book card also. Here is the website to check if your dates are included for the 50% off rate: http://www.hojoanaheim.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=29

Sounds like a really good rate at the PPH!
