I recently stayed this hotel near Knott's Berry Farm, and my experience was a mix of positives and negatives. On the positive side, the bed was firm and comfortable, providing a good night's sleep after long days of activities. The air conditioning worked efficiently, keeping the room cool and comfortable, which was a relief during the warm weather. Additionally, the hotel’s location was excellent, within walking distance of Knott's Berry Farm, making it convenient for visitors who prefer not to drive. Check-in was smooth and hassle-free. Although they typically require a $100 cash security deposit (they don’t accept cards for this), the staff member was kind enough to waive it since I didn’t have cash on hand. However, there were several areas where the hotel fell short. The refrigerator in the room was missing all its shelves, significantly limiting its usability. The room door had multiple issues: there was no top lock for added security, and a noticeable gap at the bottom of the door compromised privacy and insulation. The toilet lid was in poor condition, with extensive burn and scratch marks, which was unappealing and gave a neglected impression. Cleanliness was another concern, as there were ants in the room. The sink and countertop were in poor condition, with missing knobs and visible damage, making it difficult to use comfortably. The curtains were broken, affecting both privacy and light control. Additionally, the ice machine was out of service during my stay, wh

Initial interaction with receptionist was very unpleasant. Morning vs night interaction was literally and figuratively night and day. Rooms could use some repainting but otherwise, a cost effective establishment.

**Grungy and Dirty**

1. Was made to pay a $100 CASH ONLY DEPOSIT upon check-in. We used THEIR on site ATM for a $2 fee (+) my bank charged me $3 to use the hotel's ATM. Why can't they put the $100 deposit on my credit card like every other hotel? 2. Parking lot is SUPER SKETCHY with night persons walking the lot at ALL hours of the night. 3. Parking is SUPER TIGHT. There aren't enough parking spaces, so people are creating their own parking spaces by parking along the pool fence, parking along the fence by the check-in office, parking in spaces that say "no parking," etc. 4. The room flooring was hardwood laminate, and you could feel the dingy, dirty film on the floor. I cleaned the floor by wrapping a damp towel around my foot and the towel turned BLACK. 5. Dirty, crummy lampshades full of dust and dirt. 6. Old red bedspread, which was SUPER THIN and more of the thickness of a sheet, definitely would not call it a comforter. FLAT/THIN pillows. Mattress had weird STAINS and was UNCOMFORTABLE. 7. Dingy bathroom with a cigarette burn on the toilet lid. 8. Ironing board that was rusted old metal WITH NO IRON, and NO IRONING PAD. 9. Disgusting shelf with GREASY GRIME on it. 10. Microwave and refrigerator are located INSIDE THE BATHROOM area??? 11. Wifi was spotty and had WEAK signal. 12. To be comfortable here: bring your own cleaning supplies, bring own bedding, bring own pillows, bring own washcloths (none provided-only bath towels), bring own wifi hotspot, bring own ice (icemaker is broken).

Wont be returning

While the room was very quiet, the beds were hard as rocks, the floors were nasty and sticky, they don’t have extra pillows and the ones in the room are flat, the room was so hot that it took hours to cool down. We had to open the window and the door in addition to the AC (that barely blew cold air at all). The sink was broken and the toilet was loose. All of the cabinets and drawers were either broken or the handles were missing. They asked for a cash deposit but didn’t actually check anything to get it back. Definitely won’t be returning.
