“Typical hotel experience, convenient to Knotts Berry Farm”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

The Knotts Berry Farm resort hotel has the advantage of being very close to the park. It is an easy walk, and simplifies parking. It is also close to a number of other stores and restaurants if you need anything. I wouldn't consider it a luxury resort hotel, it's a pretty average hotel, basic furniture, showing wear and tear, and with it's share of minor problems. Overall it was a good stay, and suited our needs.

We stayed in a two queen room on the 8th floor, under the 9th floor ballrooms, facing the pool. We had no problems with noise from the pool, but we could hear the music from the ballroom (the event in the ballroom was the reason we were there, so we understood and didn't have a problem with it, just noticed when we ran downstairs to get something). Our reservation did not include any meals. There were 3 elevators, and we never had to wait long to get one. We were also able to check in early, which was fabulous!

As for the minor problems, there were not nearly enough outlets, especially by the bed for charging phones. I did find an outlet behind the curtain, only to find out later that it didn't work. In the middle of my shower the water became burning hot, regardless of where the temp was set at, I had to get out and wait for it to cool back down. We also had light switches that didn't appear to do anything, or were supposed to turn on something that was broken. The ice machine on the 8th floor also didn't work, but the 7th floor did.

We enjoyed running into Snoopy in the evening down in the lobby. Snoopy also went to the hotel restaurant and went around to each table, which was fun. I was surprised to see very little in the hotel about the park. While you are supposed to be able to get discount park tickets at the front desk, it wasn't mentioned, or advertised. The rooms did have framed pictures of the roller coasters, but otherwise it seemed the hotel was trying to distance itself from the park.

Room Tip: Avoid the 8th floor if you don't want to hear noise from the ballrooms. Lower floors with a poo...

“Enjoyable stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

Overall a very nice stay. We did have an unpleasant experience in the hotel restaurant. We were enjoying a meal there with our granddaughter, that include a wonderful visit to our table by Snoopy. From the restaurant's bar there was a loud drunk screaming obscenities over an NBA game being shown there. That would never happen at a Disney property.

“Had a great stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 22, 2013

We stayed here with our family because my husband's Christmas dinner was at Knott's. For the price it was awesome. Everything was VERY clean and the staff was very polite. You can add the all you can eat breakfast for an extra few bucks. (I think children under 9 eat free). The food wasn't absolutely delicious but, it was convenient. They have a cereal bar, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon and fruit. It was your typical continental breakfast. They have a shuttle that takes you to Disneyland as well. So, if you're on a budget and want to stay somewhere nice near Disneyland, I highly recommend this hotel.

Room Tip: Don't get a room below the ballroom floor unless you don't mind the dance music until 12 mid...

“Off to a bad start but overall experience was good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013 via mobile

This hotel with tickets to Knott's and free meals for the kids was s great value. We were initially assigned a room on the 8th floor. When we walked in it appeared physically clean but smelled like s moldy sewer and the bathroom floor was sticky.....disgusting! When we went and complained, they reassigned us to the ,3rd floor . It was clean and met our needs. Knott's was a convenient short walk. The pool looked nice with s water feature for kids. We would absolutely stay here again because of the great value and proximity to Knott's Berry Farm. Meals at Amber waves was part of the package and the food was actually good.

“NEVER AGAIN!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013 via mobile

We chose to stay at "The Knott's Berry Farm Hotel" not expecting a five star resort but just a clean, family friendly, safe hotel.

Instead, we paid for paper thin walls, horrible un-accommodating service & a lack of security features that are typically found in hotels across the nation.

The hotel restaurant "Amber Waves" customer service was no betters than the service received in the hotel. We literally walked out of the restaurant after being seated because no one ever bothered to acknowledge we where sitting with menus and waiting to order for 30 minutes. This was after making eye contact with a waitress on more than one occasion.

This hotel is simply not what I would expect to find in a hotel associated with a larger theme park located in Orange County Ca.

Very disappointing!
