Absolutely disgusting hotel

From the arrival your greeted with people out on their balconies being loud and partying. The rooms were filthy and had a horrible smell. I was looking forward to taking a bath after a long day at work out of town and needed just a quick night stay. The water in the bathroom was barely lukewarm in the bathtub was disgusting there was hair in it and God knows what else. The TV did not work. The beds had the most thin sheet ever not a blanket. Shelves in the mini refrigerator in the room was broken. I woke up to bugs all over my socks that I left on the floor. The only good thing was the air-conditioning actually worked. I’ve stayed in some pretty bad places, but this has to be one of the worst.

PROS: check-in and check-out was seamless! we walked to Knotts berry farm, super close! we LOVED having the fridge in the room and a microwave, very helpful! Ice maker was convenient as well! (on site) CONS: bathroom door area was filthy. the floors left our feet and socks black so we started wearing shoes in the room - pretty gross! and the mattress was hard as a board! we didnt sleep for 2 days and woke with horrific pain. We were actually going to stay an extra night but because of the body pain from the mattress, we checked out. OVERALL: We would stay again. The location is amazing and convenient, lots of food and shopping close by, and it saved us not having to pay for parking when going to the theme park. Next time, we will take a matteress foam cover for the bed to make it more comfy.

Be aware that they require a $100 cash deposit. Parking fills up at night, and sometimes it's hard to get someone to the desk to let you check in. It's an affordable option within walking distance of Knott's Berry Farm though.

Checked in around 11pm and the attendant was rude. Expedia says the hotel "may require a cash deposit," so I had a little cash. Upon arrival, I was informed they REQUIRE a cash deposit that was more than half my stay cost. I tried to show the gentleman what expedia has on their website, but he wouldn't look. He then tried to negotiate money with me, and stated they require the deposit because "some people don't pay for their rooms" despite having charged my card for the full cost of my stay, and the charge went through. Eventually, he took the cash I had on me and gave me my key. This hotel has a "no visitors" policy, which is unfortunate considering I was staying in the area intending to see friends; he said nobody was allowed to visit me. My room was disgusting. Thick layers of dust everywhere. Sheets were stained. There were what appeared to be food particles on the wall. Microwave had old food on the front. Fridge was completely frosted over. Shower pressure was so intense that both times I showered, water sprayed outside of the curtain and all over the floor. There was no soap or hand towels for the bathroom, only body towels for the shower, and those were very small, more like child sized. The floor had not been swept or mopped. I put socks on after my shower, and just from going from the bathroom back to the main room, my feet were covered in dirt, and there was a large spot in the bathroom that appeared to be blood. I would not recommend staying here.

Worst hotel I have ever stayed at

This hotel was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at in my lifetime. I have travelled a lot and this was the worst experience I have ever stayed at. There was no one at the checkout desk and the door of the hotel check in was locked. Finally someone came and made me pay a $100 cash deposit for the night. It had to be cash and they had an ATM at the door. Then the cleanliness of the room was appalling. The room smelled of cigarette smoke in a non smoking room. We were on the second floor and the back window opened completely without a screen. The bathtub had dirt stains and the shower head leaked and sprayed outside the curtain. The sheets and blankets on the bed smelled of smoke and had cigarette holes. Worst of all we had guests next to us who stayed up yelling and slamming doors until 1:00am in the morning.

Roaches, smell, not very clean.

The two rooms we got had roaches and a strong smell. Possible bed bugs as well, as soon as we put our stuff down every body started itching. The restrooms also had leaks in the shower. We were a party of 9. We went to the front desk to get a refund so we could go elsewhere but they refused stating 15 minutes had passed since check in. We were all tired from our trip and just wanted to get some rest. The only thing they did was to offer us another two rooms for our stay. The other rooms did not have roaches but everybody was skeptical so they slept on top of the quilts. We did not get much rest :(

Nice for the price, Entertainment right across the street. Friendly staff, easy check in process, big beds, nice pool, beat other competitor's prices which worked out perfectly for a Mid July stay. Bad problem was tight parking spaces, at times noisy, loose door not too secure, interesting smell coming from the room. But overall not bad for the money:)

Simply dirty

It started off good, the appearance of the motel was approachable and didnt seem horrible, but as I started to look closer at the details I realized how poorly kept the place really is. The design of the room was interesting, a separate room from the main area, but the remote was missing from the tv and there was a hole in my ceiling covered with a thin piece of what seemed to be plastic or wood or something. The bathroom contained multiple beetles running on the ground with a roach crawling up the wall. My socks would get dirty from walking from the sink to my bed. Overall, I would not stay here again and all I hope is that they learn to clean the crevices, at least once.

This property is cheap but the condition is very poor. I have seen cockroaches. I took off shoes in the unit and walked around briefly. My socks were black. The bathroom is cracked. The expectation of the property seems, you get what you pay for.

Please read and see this omg !!!!!!!!

This place knew we had a hotel stay weeks ahead of time and noticed, and when we got there, I guess they didn’t have any rooms and they were aware of that and put us in a Brokedown hotel room full of cockroaches, insects, cobwebs stuff dripping from the ceiling, loud air conditioning and a drippy faucet all night they would not even refund us at all. The manager never even contacted us. I had to file a court claim in small claims court, and it doesn’t cost that much to do it if anybody has experienced this situation it is awful and I do not wish this upon anyone. Please do not stay here just because of the price and do not let the hotel pictures pull you because they’re full of deceit and dishonesty
This look like a nasty dried up worm
These are cobwebs that are all over the room
This is what is dripping through the ceiling
Bugs on the walls
