The price was good, but that's the few positive things about this place. The bathtub had ants. The faucet was leaking. The safety latch was broken. The curtains covered the AC unit so we had to use shoes to hold the curtains. The location appeared safe. It's a bit run down. The room was big. The breakfast was limited. Their was no decaffeinated coffee. Another positive is it is right next to Knott's Berry Farm. I did tell the front desk about the ants and leaky faucet. I doubt we will return.

Just like other people who have reviewed, we got a different room than what we were told when we made the reservation. We got to the hotel early the day we checked in and they said our room wasn't ready until about 2:00 p.m., but were told we could park in the hotel lot and go to Knotts Berry which was nice. When we got back to the hotel, the room we requested was no longer available even though we had already pre-checked in that morning. The guy behind the desk was telling me this is the room I wanted as the other rooms weren't as nice and he didn't want to kick anybody out of their room. So I guess it was o.k. to kick us out? The room was mostly clean and somewhat updated, so it didn't feel dirty. When it was time to try to sleep, thats when the fun started. The walls are very thin and we could here the crying baby next door for about an hour or so, car alarms going off in the parking lot, and people were walking around the entire night. You could hear the hollow floor everytime somebody went by. Lastly there was somebody going through all of the trashes around 6 in the morning picking out cans and bottles very loudly as well. After about 4 hours of interrupted sleep we finally just woke up and left. I would not recommend this place unless you are looking for something real close to Knotts Berry Farm, working on a tight budget and don't like much sleep. Next time I am in the area I will probably stay in Anaheim near another amusement park and drive as it is only 10-15 minutes away.

The hotel has been renamed to Colony Inn and unfortunately the new management and name didn't put any money into it. The rooms were poorly cleaned with a lot of lint and noticeable dust. The sheets were worn and definitely many years old. There were no Geese harmed in the making of their tiny pillows. Honestly, the pillows you receive on the airlines are more comfortable than these ones. On a positive note, the gentlemen at the front desk were kind. The only reason we stayed here is because the Knott's Berry Resort was fully booked.
I rated this hotel 2 stars only because it is right across the street from Knott's Berry Farm, which is about the only thing going for it. If you are going to spend the majority of your time out and all the other hotels within walking distance are full, than this one will serve its purpose.

The only good thing about the hotel was the location, close to the Parks, however, website says include breakfast and that was not true, beds were ok, but the room was not clean, dust everywhere (AC, closet), bathroom looked dirty and the space between the closet and bathroom had lots of fruit gnats (don't know why), bathroom sit was worn out as it was almost to throw it to the garbage, shower pipe was not adjusted and leaked.

The worse thing is that after buying some snacks to have them for the park visit and there was a roach inside of the fridge (small, but was a redflag eitherway), we stayed two nights but we took all lugagge and things we had so the room can be cleaned when we got back, surprise was, the room was not cleaned, no change of towels, nothing that worth the cash we left at the time we arrived as deposit.

I doubt we go back anytime in the future, misleading advertising (breakfast included) was the first red flag, room dirty, shabby bathroom and noxious fauna is not a good combination; and the cherry on the cake is to request cash deposit after all

Bad bad bad

This is my 3rd time staying here, I love the Colony Inn. Great location close to Knotts Berry Farm. It is a budget hotel no frills. Rate includes a Continental Breakfast. The room is always clean.
One of my rules of travel is know where you are staying, This isn't the Ritz so don't expect a bellman. 24 hour housekeeping or full breakfast. It is a clean room with a tv good service and a carb fest. Walk next door to the gas station and buy good coffee or wait until you get to knotts and get a starbucks.

THE WORST!! Staying at The Colony Inn was nothing short of a horror show. They had asked for a $100 cash deposit, CASH ONLY! The moment my family walked in, we were greeted with broken furniture and stained bedding that screamed neglect. The comforters had holes and stains. We were later met with cockroaches in every corner, making it impossible to feel at ease. The room also lacked essential smoke detectors, they were all removed, posing a serious fire hazard. We decided to check out and leave the area. The Colony Inn needs a complete overhaul to even come close to acceptable standards. They do not issue refunds but, who could possibly stay here?

Me and my son stayed here to go to Knotts. They kindly let us park our vehicle from 20 until 2pm when the room was done while we were at Knotts. Came back hot and feet hurt. Hopped in the really clean pool. It was 8 feet deep on one end. My son said good for canon balls. Price was good. The staff is really helpful as well. The tv wasn’t programmed right and I I walked in the office to tell them. He told someone and they walked back with me. Asked permission to come in. Left the door open propped with a chair for both of our safety. Fixed in minutes. There is a microwave. Fridge. Ironing board. Small desk and tv . Absolutely will stay here again.

As a general rule I try to find positive things to add to a review. I couldn't find anything positive to say about this place.
Very unsafe feeling
No parking. All parking spots were filled. Had to wait over an hour until someone left.
Checked in late. Hotel clerk was barely awake and didn't speak much English.
Bed was thin and hard. Not comfortable. TV did not work. No wifi

Booked a night here because it was close to knotts berry farm. Huge mistake. I booked on hotels.com, so room was paid for. I show up and they demand a cash deposit - never seen this before. I go to the room, and see cockroaches all over. Some smashed to the floor, so they've been walked over. Walls were dirty too, but who cares - i wasn't staying in this disgusting place. I walked back to the office and told them it was disgusting and i was leaving. The lady said it was nonrefundable. I told her i would do a charge back on my credit card. I am also reporting to the health department. Don't think about staying in this dump!

This place is trash. When we arrived the bathroom door knob was broken and my husband and nephew got locked inside. Security had to kick door in to fix doorknob. Door still not fully close after. Very disappointed and had to pay a $100.00 deposit at the beginning of our stay. Staff did not speak English very well. Wi-Fi was spotty. Beds were very uncomfortable. Do not book a room here ever. Very disappointed for how I was charged.

I'd love to answer your question, but please clarify what a "too" means. If you are asking the minimum age to book a hotel room in California, it varies, and I would call the hotel to obtain accurate information.
