Howard Johnson by Wyndham Anaheim Hotel & Water Playground
This was the best hotel!! The staff was incredibly nice - went out of their way to help when we had issues with the rollaway bed. They ended up bringing us 3 different ones because the first two were uncomfortable. Had an awesome room location and the pool is perfect for little ones!
