Drop him a line, he loves hearing from LPers who wish to stay there. He is very friendly and helpful. HoJo's I love for its landscaping outside, the Garden Pool area (is that the name of it?) is really nice I find it tranquil. Heh, except for the side the freeway is on ;P Aside from that the place really has a nice feel to it I think. Its within good walking distance of the park. Theres a courtesy shuttle, but there is also a light right at the corner of the entrance, go straight across and you'll walk up a ways (opposite direction of HoJos) and eventually theres a little open area in the fence you go through and just keep going and the Front Gates (Gateway Plaza?) are straight ahead. We stayed there once in July 2003 and that was the route we took. Plus HoJo's has a nice little gift shop with drinks sandwiches too. Most of the other hotels on Harbor I've read (TripAdvisor.com) and heard are the best in the area compared to their other hotels on different streets around the area. Katella I'm not sure of. >> I once stayed with Chingy, Snoop, and Dre, but that was at the Holidae Inn and I think it was in Long Beach << Really? That sounds more like the one in Compton or in South South Central.

But from John Wayne, for groups of 2 or more, a Taxi is a better choice, it is about $35 plus tip (Flat Rate) one way.
