| HoJo or Portofino I am narrowing down my search and am contemplating between these 2 for different reasons. Also, I can't find much on here about either property, especially the Portofino. Portofino - more space, can get the 5 for 3 offer through Disneyland.com for both hotel and passes, looks nice, has kid's suites (we have a 10 year old and 5 year old twins) HoJo - much closer and able to walk there, seems OK enough propery, love the spray park area, got a great rate through the hotel with Entertainment card since it's not available for the 5 for 3 offer but still comes out cheaper due to the cost of the hotel We will have a vehicle there. A property with breakfast within walking distance is my first choice (probably CCI) but their cost for deluxe room would be $159 as opposed to $79.00 at the HoJo. That difference isn't worth a continental breakfast to me. I'd rather buy stuff and have it in the room to save $70/night. Thanks for any help. |

| Both places get pretty good marks on Trip Advisor web site. Saying that, the HoJo rates are great!

| I've stayed at both and much prefer HOJO's. We stayed in a Kid Suite in October 07. The room was nothing like pictures. Much smaller and darker. The wood in the room seemed almost grimy. Also the walls seemed thin. Maybe the people by us were just loud. We did like that each kid had their own bed. The Kid Suite didn't really offer much in the way of privacy. It was really like a regular hotel room cut in half. Other people love the Portofino though so maybe we just had a bad room. We have stayed at HOJO's many times and like it a lot. Leigh

| Thanks so much for your input. After talking to other friends/family that have been, we have decided to book HOJO. It's meets almost all our needs other than having a breakfast but because of the fridge/microwave, we can forgo that! |

| McDonalds is a short walk away (on your way to Disneyland) for a quick breakfast, and Mimi's Cafe is good for a nice sit down breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

| Thanks. I'd heard that Mimi's is good, as well as Millie's from friends who just came back last week. I appreciate your help. |
