Avoid the Howard Johnson Hotel
I just wanted to post for anyone going to Disneyland, to avoid the Howard Johnson hotel. What a dive! It's posted on the disney page as " moderate", but it is definitely "economy" in the ratings. It was musty, old, and I was afraid to sit on the bedspread. Also, the freeway is right next door and even with double -paned windows you can hear the cars roar by! We went there because I thought that it was the only hotel for that price with a balcony--but I was wrong...and we paid $111 a night!

Have had three truly revolting stays at a motel in the decade. No two were in the same city. All three were HoJos. It's sad but true.
(And don't anyone try to quote the "fool me once..." maxim to me... wouldn't have booked a HoJo after the first stay, but the second was the only possibility within walking distance of a place I had to walk to, and the third was booked for me by someone else. Now I'll go well out of my way to avoid a HoJo.)

"only hotel for that price with a balcony" I have learned the hard way that the least expensive hotel or least expensive with a certain feature is usually priced that way for a good reason.
We stayed at a HoJo's last June in Western Virginia somewhere. It was clean, old, acceptable - but still a little creepy in a way I could not define.
