Related info--- Anaheim California Hotels :: Disneyland Hotel :: Disney's Grand Californian :: Disney's Paradise Pier :: Magic Mountain-area hotels :: Howard Johnson Hotels in Southern CaliforniaHoward Johnson amenities and list of SoCal hotelsIn the slide show above, you're viewing pictures of 2 Howard Johnson hotels in Southern California. The hotel receiving the most attention is the beautiful Anaheim Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel, one of this chain's premier properties in SoCal. The second hotel is Howard Johnson's Express Inn, located in the Hotel Circle area of San Diego (near SeaWorld Park.) On this page, we'll talk about the amenities you can expect to find at the different types of Howard Johnson properties, and you can find a list of the Howard Johnson motels in Southern California, along with directions, maps and a list of tourist attractions to which each hotel is closest. Is there a difference between the Howard Johnson hotels?Yes; "Plaza Hotels" are the grandest; "Express Inns" are budget-pricedWithin some hotel chains, all of the various locations are more or less equal. You might get newer facilities, or those situated closer to restaurants and tourist attractions than others. But, with some chains, the actual amenities are pretty standard from place to place.However, with the Howard Johnson hotels/motels, there are several "tiers" you'll notice. "Plaza Hotels" are the chain's name for the resort properties with more amenities than most. "Express Inns" have the fewest amenities. And "Inns," "Inns and suites," and plain old "Howard Johnson Hotels" lie somewhere in between. The Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel in Anaheim is Southern California's only "Plaza Hotel" at present. As you can tell from the pictures in the slide show above, the grounds are spacious and well-landscaped; there are 2 pool areas...one of which features a water park-type play area for kids; and there are extras such as a hotel gift shop, a video arcade room and a classy Mimi's Cafe restaurant on-site. Howard Johnson Express Inns aren't totally without amenities, however. You'll find a "Rise and Dine" continental breakfast included in your room fee at most locations. Plus, you'll get all the standard amenities which even budget motels seem to offer these days...like cable TV, attractive furnishings, irons, hair dryers, non-smoking rooms and swimming pools. Howard Johnson's hotel discountsOff-season discounts have been announced at the company's website. In addition to promising that their own Howard Johnson website offers the lowest rate you'll find offered to the general public, off season discounts are currently trying to beef up room rental rates.A great discount special is the offer of 15% savings on a 2-night stay, which is available at most properties if you book before November 30, 2008. (See the link to Howard Johnson's website at the end of this page; discount info is on the site's home page.) WYNDHAM REWARDS PROGRAM: In addition to any seasonal discounts you may get, you can also earn points if you're a member of the chain's Wyndham Rewards Club. (While this chain was genuinely founded by a man named Howard Johnson, times have changed and the HoJo brand is simply one of many chains owned by Wyndham.) However, that can be a bonus point for choosing Howard Johnson hotels, if you're a frequent traveler. The more places from which you can choose to stay, the easier it is to rack up points for a free night's stay...or airline miles. Currently, the following hotel chains are members of the Wyndham Rewards program: Wyndham, Wingate, Baymont Inn & Suites, Ramada, Howard Johnson, Day's Inn, Super 8, TraveLodge, Knight's Inn and AmeriHost Inns. Frequent travelers can join at the www.HoJo.com website (link at the end of this page.)
