It was a pain to have to do the elevator there for sure! Ground level would be ok, but after staying there multiple years we decided for the cost it just wasn’t worth it for us any more. We have stayed at and LOVE the HoJo but this year my son will be in a wheelchair and we are thinking even that extra 5 mins and an extra street crossing my be too much- it may not be if it’s a
scooter since nobody has to push that lol the hotels near hojo are all newer or remodeled and clean and nice compared to the older ones right across the street and hojo has a great kids splash area we use even in Dec, so I’m holding a reservation there but still will probably branch out to a closer hotel we haven’t tried. Still not sure but we’re leaning towards the Desert Inn, Tropicana or the Grand Legacy, although honestly after walking from the best western to the Anaheim inn to get pizza press (it’s just a tiny bit past Grand Legacy) we’re thinking that the grand legacy may end up feeling like a long trek too although everyone says it feels short- after a long park day and I’ll be pushing a 100+ lbs kid in a wheelchair including a mid day break even 5 mins feels LONG lol we do a minimum of 20k steps or about 10 miles so it adds up lol
