Great location is the only positive thing this hotel has to offer. 1. Don’t ask for a bowl, they will charge you $25 because it’s a liability to give a guest a bowl. The manager stood behind that policy like I was crazy for questioning it. 2. The black hair in my bed absolutely grossed me out and the manager didn’t care. 3. The designated… Read more
Great location is the only positive thing this hotel has to offer. 1. Don’t ask for a bowl, they will charge you $25 because it’s a liability to give a guest a bowl. The manager stood behind that policy like I was crazy for questioning it. 2. The black hair in my bed absolutely grossed me out and the manager didn’t care. 3. The designated smoking area is directly in front of the hotel entrance and pool entrance. 4. The fridge didn’t work, maintenance had to fix it. All of these are not deal breakers for us but all of these in one day was irritating and the manager telling us bowls are liabilities was icing on the cake. We are super disappointed. Read less

Hotel under development so restaurant and shop were closed but pool and limited room service was still on. Breakfast was buffet style and wasn't all that bad. Stayed for a week, this was my second time here from the UK and would definitely book again

So this is the third year in a row I’ve done Knott’s Scary Farm. Last year I did the hotel package and it was a great experience - so I decided it was going to be a yearly thing to do.

So this is the third year in a row I’ve done Knott’s Scary Farm. Last year I did the hotel package and it was a great experience - so I decided it was going to be a yearly thing to do. Something to save up for and have this one experience a year. But this year…I show up and half the hotel is closed and under construction. No restaurant, no bar, no lobby lounge. I wasn’t informed of this in any of the reservation emails, even the reservation webpage said the restaurant would be under construction until Sept. It’s October. So I call the manager who says it was on their website - which I had a screenshot of that not being true on the reservation page. I didn’t even notice it on the website when I first booked. No one else I talked to at the hotel noticed either. Part of the whole experience was spending the afternoon having drinks at the themed bar, and being able to take the drinks to the pool. I was told they have room service but it’s not a full bar just overpriced beer and wine, also not available until 4pm, and…they don’t deliver to the pool. They said there is Fridays I could go to for a full bar…it was closed. I asked for some sort of discount at this point since I wasn’t fully informed, no other guests I talked to were informed either. I mean with such important sections being closed and walled off it warrants an obvious disclaimer. Charging full price for half the experience! The manager just said they couldn’t do anything for me since I was on the best package they had. I mean come on, not even a few free drink tickets, not even organising a pop up bar by the pool for guests or boosting the room service bar temporarily and at least allow pool delivery to help give a full guest experience. Just, nothing. A room and a pool that’s it. Could have paid a lot less and gotten that at any other cheap hotel. Well congrats on cheating me out of my short term money, but you’ve lost my long term money. I’ll find something else to do each year now. Inform your guests, it’s not that hard. Read less

Knotts Berry Farm Hotel is in middle of a long remodeling. Parking lot has shifted to accommodate instead of parking in front where the entrance as of this review is closed up one goes around the back to enter. The current office as of my stay is in the old gift shop at the back and the lobby was completely closed off so it and the restaurant were in active reconditioning behind a temporary wall built to block off the construction zone as one walked from the temporary check in to the elevators to get to one's room. I had one of the newly remodeled rooms and it faced away from the park and over the pool area and parking lot to the west. I never had an issue with the old rooms and the theme park pictures (wonder what they did with them) and I'm a bit concerned about losing the neat Snoopy rooms. HOWEVER, though they have gone to a farm motif, I must say I loved the room. Everything was in super new and great condition, the chairs and furniture and bed were all super comfortable. The hotel was quiet I never heard a peep for a Friday night in August that's pretty good, though the park had been quiet during the day as well only picking up some in the evening. I have no complaints on the hotel really it was super clean and made me feel quite at. home in the room which now includes a small fridge as well which I believe not all rooms had before. So yes this is highly recommended I just hope they don't keep raising the price out of reach over time when remodel is finished. Read less

ive been to this hotel many many times over the years and always had a nice stay. this time however was different and strange. the hotel is still in the middle of remodeling. we got one of the new rooms and although small it was a nice look and large tv. we typically put do not disturb on the door as we were only staying a few days and dont need new bed changes daily. one of the days we come back from park and there is a note said they did a welfare check because we had the no not disturb check on for 48hrs. never heard of such nonsense in my life. i check in with the front desk and they say its in the paperwork i signed in with. i didnt see it but there is a ton of small writing but it was not told to me by the front desk when i checked in. then i was told that all the hotels in the area are doing this. weird ive stayed at over 50 different hotels in this area and this has never happened. the next hotel i go to i ask the front desk and they look at me with a confused look. they had no idea what i was talking about and let me know they would not enter my room if i put the do not disturb sign on the door. my friend who was staying with me at the same time in different room. they were just coming in with housekeeping even with do no disturb on it and then they did a wellness check anyway. like what are they looking for? and why even put a do not disturb on the door if they just going to ignore it. im wondering what the heck is going on at this place? i could see if i was there a full week or something but this was a few days. i guess they think we were doing something wrong but i dont know why? never seen anything like this before and never since. no way i would come back here again. they could have been upfront about this at check inn. with all the other bla bla they do this would be important to bring up. i also brought up they always wanted to come in after we leave. no matter when we left thats when they wanted to come in. they couldnt pay me to come back to this place.
