LOVED it!! Very spacious suite. It's 538 Sq. feet, so the suite was great for our family with 2 kids, 9 and 14. Having 2 bathrooms was so awesome! The beds were exceptionally comfortable.
Housekeeping went above and beyond what they needed to do - our daughter was scared to sleep in the other room (anxiety issues) and we didn't want her to kick us in her sleep by sleeping in the King size bed with us on our side of the suite ( She is 9 years old, tallest in her classroom, and can sure pack a punch when she kicks in her sleep) so we placed a couple of the huge pillows from the kids room for her to sleep on, on the floor in our room, with sheets, comforter, and pillow. Housekeeping (6th floor, thank you ladies so much!!) left us with a SUPERBLY made mini-bed for our daughter each day, even though we left a note saying that it was o.k. to leave it there as was.
Our daughter commented on what a great job they did on her bed. She was very grateful, and literally fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.
All of the staff at Hojo's was super courteous, and our experience there was fantastic. Thank you so much to all!
Groceries from Von's arrived on time and our fridge stayed perfect temp. the whole time through. Von's brought them right up to our room. The microwave was very handy.
The Heavenly Beds were made up perfectly each day - linens were crisp and clean as were the towels. Oh my gosh - I wish I knew how to make up a bed like that! The time and care spent by house-keeping was to be commended. They also made sure to leave us decaff coffee as we had requested that via note, which was very nice of them!!
The pool was *WARM*!!! Our 9 year old daughter swam for it for an hour last night, and the temp. was great!! The sun had already gone down, it was dark outside, around 8:00 pm, but she found the temperature to be perfect. Then, a hop, skip and a jump away to Pirate's Cove and we watched the fireworks. We loved that they have a bathroom at the Pirate's Cove area, very handy for spending a long time at the pool. Housekeeping came by to pick up towels and drop more off, when we were there but there were enough towels prior to that.
The 8 min. walk to and from the Disneyland gates was do-able for sure for our family (I am pooh sized, size 2 - 3 X), twice a day! McD's was half-way to Hojo's so we tended to stop there a lot. Excellent food quality and prices, excellent customer service there as well.
We LOVED the free in-room safe! WiFi worked great. Freeway noise was definitely easily tolerable - we have a son with sensory issues and he didn't even comment on it - did we hear it? Yes... but it is more like white noise, and though you do hear it, you can easily tune it out as a soothing sound.
'Check in' and 'check out' was a breeze!! The staff was able to accommodate us for an early check-in.
Cool! Rates were calculated perfectly upon check-out. My toll-free calls really were toll-free. No extra charges for talking to T-mobile for a loooong time trying to get my daily web pass working on my mobile phone so I could use the mousewait app for my droid, which by the way is a pretty decent and accurate app!
The Keurig coffee machine made perfectly brewed coffee daily, we all enjoyed it very much.
The bathrooms had been scrubbed clean, and the carpet was clean as well. Our key cards worked well, too.
Elevator was always quick and efficient, and we never had any waits. (6th floor.)
Yep, Disneyland is a great place to be, but Hojo's is a great place to hang your hat at night, when you really need a home away from home.
P.S. The gift shop was amazing!! Everything you could need, and then some. In the games room Air hockey was so good that my daughter got a sore arm from trying to beat her Dad and her brother.
P.P.S. Who can tell us what movie or TV show was being filmed at LAX today around 8:30 am?? We witnessed trucks hosing down the streets, some kind of oil tank truck, wardrobe truck, cams. etc., close to terminal 2. Anyone?? Bueller??
