“Not so bad”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 13, 2011 via mobile

We stayed at Knott's Hotel on October 12th. We got a Scary Farm package which was a pretty good price. We had stayed here a few times before and have a love-hate relationship with this place. It's wonderful one time and awful the next. We love the Halloween Haunt and after taking sometime off from this hotel we decided to give them another try. We were helped right away and we asked for a remodled room. The King Bed rooms were not done yet so we took a two Queen room. We went with another couple and they gave us joining rooms which was pretty cool. The remodled rooms are pretty clean and fresh. We did have a problem with one of the beds...it was broken already. They didn't spend much on beds, that's forsure. The water pressure was poor. And as many people had stated before, no ice! On ANY floor...yes we tried them all. Called front desk and they gave us a song and dance about how people fill up coolers and what not..but I have stayed at many hotels and never had ALL of the ice machines not make ice, so we went to the restaurant and they gave us some. About the bed, they offered us another room and said sorry. Other than that we had no other issues with the hotel. If going to the Haunt the hotel is the best place to stay as you don't have to worry about parking and just walk there and back. The package we got was the hotel stay with parking, 2 tickets to the haunt, shirts, dinner and breakfast. The food was pretty good this time around. The buffet dinner had fried chicken, pasta with different types of sauce, mashed potatoes, steak slices in a gravy, salads and apple pie also cookies ect. Breakfast was rather good. Eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, French toast. Cereals and muffins. The service was excellent in all aspects and we had a really good time. This is a 3 star hotel and after reading some of the reviews I think people forget that. It's NOT a Disney resort forsure...and you don't have to pay a Disney price either. You get what you pay for and it's not that bad of a place.

“Average hotel...not a great area..”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 12, 2011

We visited as part of a multi-centre holiday and this was our first stop for 4 days. Upon arrival we were impressed with the view of Knotts theme park! Check in was easy and the room was large and clean. Pillows were terrible however, and woke up with a stiff neck everyday! Free wifi was included so this was a nice bonus. We were here mainly to explore so the room was not a big issue.

Knotts Berry Theme park was very good surprisingly! We needed a way to fill our afternoon after arriving at 3pm. We went straight into the park and managed to ride almost everything. Not 'kiddy' rides at all so be prepared!

However, the issue was the area! We are a couple ages 25/26 and the area was too quiet for us. We found it hard to eat at night due to places closing early (9pm) Even the hotel restaurants and everywhere else was dead by this time! We ate at Amber Waves for 2 nights due to no where else being open. Food was quite nice and good service. We visited Mrs Knotts chicken dinner restaurant which was well worth the wait and price! But were still in bed by 10pm!

Overall, no problems with the hotel but didn't use many of the amenities such as the pool etc so cannot comment. I definitely would never stay in Anaheim again due to the area being so quiet. Many members of trip advisor warned me but it was too late to cancel my booking unfortunately. Still, the whole point of this holiday was to see as much as we could and in 4 days we visited Knotts Berry Theme Park, Universal Studios, LA & Hollywood tour and Newport Beach so we loved it all. Just wish we had something to do at night!

“Hotel, yes, Resort, no”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 11, 2011

The term "Resort" has been very misused on this hotel. A others have mentioned, great place for a quick overnight stay prior to hitting Knott's but please don't spend any time there. I think we had the same room as another reviewer with the moldy/old shower, etc. Ideally, you show up at 10:00pm (although the lady at the counter is pretty grumpy then) and leave to go to McDonald's (Starbucks is next door) for breakfast at 5:00am. Then you'll have a good experience. Overnight parking is not included but was only $7 and its a short walk to the park. Fortunately, we got this on Hotwire for only $50. Enjoy.

Room Tip: Don't stay long.

“Not Impressed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 10, 2011

Last Friday night I brought my 12 year old son to attend the Knott's Scary Farm Halloween event in the park. Since the park is open from 7 PM - 2 AM we decided to spend the night. I decided to stay at the "resort" because I thought it would be nicer than some of the surrounding hotels and for convenience. It was more expensive than surrounding hotels. Checking in the fire alarms went off because of the fake smoke machines from the bar. Getting off the elevator on the 6th floor where our room was located the hallway wreaked of marijuana. At 2:45 AM the people in the room next door came in and I could hear every word of their conversation through the closed adjoining doors, and at 3:30 AM when I decided to call security to get the people next door to be quiet the phone rang 300 times and no one EVER answered! I would not recommend the hotel.

“Forget the Negative reviews! Great Hotel and AMAZING Staff!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 6, 2011

Forgot all the "bad" reviews you have read on here about this hotel.My wife and I stayed here for 15 nights in Sept 2011 and had an amazing time.First let me say the renovated rooms are comfy with a nice new king sized bed and hd flat screen tv.Rooms were cleaned everyday, no problems.Nice big pool and spa, clean as well.No noise during our stay,quiet and peaceful.Snoopy can be found in the lobby several times a day for pictures as well as tucking kids in during the evening.The location of the hotel is in a great quiet place within walking distance to many GREAT restaurants (Tokyi Teriyaki, Portillo's, and Umami Mongolian Grill) as well as malls and Walmart.The food at Amber Waves was VERY good, considering it is in a Hotel.Try the pizza,burgers and fries they are good !Last but not least, is the AMAZING Customer Service.A special thanks to front desk staff Lisa,Jeanette and Monique who treated us like family our whole stay.Lisa never let us walk by without saying "hello".She even made my wife a beautiful bracelet for her birthday.We also had an amazing night at Knotts Scary Halloween...just a wonderful trip.Thank you again everyone at Knotts Berry farm for a worry free vacation.
