The fanAC in the room didn’t work so our room was stuffy and warm. Despite the room being cleaned on our second day, not all towels were replaced and the tissue box was out and not replaced.

The room was spacious and clean, the staff were very friendly and we really enjoyed the proximity to the parks without feeling like we were on top of Harbour Blvd in a parking lot. Some of the other hotels definitely feel that way but not the HoJo! It felt like a nice retreat away from the parks. We will definitely stay here again
