Spiders in the room and bathroom. Had to kill one so my son can sleep. Dead cockroaches on the bathroom floor.
Why is this hotel so gross.? I had my children with me.
The fridge wasn’t working. My food got wet on the bottom.
I took pics and showed the guy at the desk. He didn’t know what to say. No apology.
It was infested with bugs we didnt even stay the night there and i want a refund

The rooms were OK. Adequate. Expected for the price. Location to Knotts is exceptional. Very inexpensive for the amazing location. Just dont expect it to be the 4 Seasons....One odd thing. The hotel required a $100 CASH deposit. Had to be cash. Strange.

No ac in second room. It stink leeky facet. No parking over crowded. Old broken down car park and old automobile seats where thrown in parking. Maid was very rude yelling at people.
Comfortable rooms near Knott's with an unbeatable value.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Lobby staff went above and beyond. Fast checkout, knowledgeable, and held luggage before and after checkout so my family could visit the park. The rooms were great for the price. They could probably charge more per night if they maintained the rooms better. Our room was missing a toilet paper roll bar and the wiring would not allow the light and fan to turn off after a shower. The walls had residue on them. The beds were comfortable and we did receive clean towels and linens daily. Overall, incredible value and great lobby staff!
Check in was fast and easy. Room was clean, parking was full but was able to secure a spot in front of my room. Other guest were a bit loud outside in the parking lot past 11pm but was able to sleep fine
Lots of options, but this one looked and described as needed. Parking was scary since didn’t ask for car information. Room was supposed to be non-smoking, but the stench of cigarettes was overwhelming. Beds had burns and stains. Also sheets were dirty on one bed. There were no towels for use and the restroom was substandard on the cleaning quality.
I’d only recommend this hotel because of its distance from Knott’s Berry Farm and it’s cheap compared to other hotels in the area. Other than that, it’s unclean, there’s hardly any amenities, and the worst part are the crackheads and prostitutes that live or hang around outside. They definitely need to revamp this hotel and make it family friendly especially because it’s so close to Knott’s Berry Farm.
