Hi,
Just wondering if someone could tell me the difference between the 2 Queen Standard, Deluxe and Premium room at the Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel Anaheim Resort.
Many thanks.
I think the main differences these days are locations. The standard rooms used to not have microwaves, but I think they have now been added to those rooms. Also, the standard and deluxe rooms had old-style tube t.v.s. I know the hotel has been in the process of upgrading all their rooms, so those room types may now all have flat screen t.v.s like the premium rooms.
Standard 2 queen - Freeway side of building 1, the seven story building closest to the lobby and water play area. Building one has the gameroom, mini mart, and, I think, the laundry room. Soundproofing has been added to the windows of the rooms on floors 1-6.
Deluxe 2 queen - Located in building 2, a four story building and the furthest away from the entrance to the property. I think of this building as the quietest one on property. The rooms overlook the pool area.
Premium 2 queen - Park side of building 1. These rooms are considered view rooms because you can see a bit into the parks and can view the fireworks from the balcony. The fireworks view though may be partially blocked by trees growing near the building.
Thanks for your help longtimedisneylurker! Yes, the main difference between our Standard, Deluxe, Premium Queen Rooms is the view type. Standard Queens face the highway, but all except the top floor have sound proof windows, Deluxe Queens face the Garden Pool, and Premium Queens face Disneyland, so you get to see the fireworks. The amenities in the rooms are all the same; 2 queen beds, refrigerators, and microwaves. And all of rooms have flat screen TVs now!
HTH,

Ahhhhh Kriss - I can't believe I may be able to add something. One thing we liked about the Premium Queen (ohhh and also the standard in building 1 ??) is that it has a separate sink outside the bathroom/shower. This helps when Mom (me) wants to do her hair or someone just needs to brush their teeth when the kids or husband is in the shower.

I could have sworn our standard dbl/dbl had this too. Am I wrong?
ImNoPrince said:We stayed at Hojo last month. We experienced 4 standard queen rooms. Why 4? We reserved two queen rooms which were supposed to be adjoining. When we checked in, the rooms were NOT adjoining. They count do anything about it but did move us the second night to adjoining rooms so we saw 4 total rooms all in Bldg 6, which is farthest from the park. All rooms had small fridge, MW, Keurigs, flat screen TVs, and horrible wifi. Beds were fine. No views.
DharmaLou said:We are in a standard 2 queen in building 1 as I type. We have a microwave & fridge & face the freeway. Literally no noise from the freeway at all. When you go out to the parking lot there's tons of noise so they have done really well with noise control.
The room is really spacious for a standard room, too. Nice 42" LCD tv as well.
We've taken the plunge and booked ourselves into a Premium room in August for 6 nights thanks to a good rate on one of the UK websites plus 10% cashback. Thanks everyone for your help info on the different room types.
When we went I also requsted as high a floor as possible to try and get the best view. Paid off big time. We were on the top floor and had an absolutely awesome view of DL and DCA, and perfect view for the fireworks too. See my TR for pics - it was our first night so not too far in.
