Staff is always great and friendly and helpful. The room condition was not. Floors were wet. Assuming they left windows open on a foggy day but that was nasty. Then they had a leak in the shower which is where I assume the terrible foul smell came from. Whole place smelled awful . Left windows open and put a car air freshener in the vents. Came back and it still smelled terrible. You get what you pay for though. So be warned. Prices are cheap and it’s close to Knotts but quality wise it’s very low.
Cold AC. Pretty quiet. They do ask for a $60-$100 cash deposit here on top of your Expedia booking, so bring cash at check in. One tiny roach ran past the desk so they may need a bug guy visit soon. But all in all a nice stay in a giant room across from Knotts!

Location is phenomenal if going to Knott's berry farms. Literally cross the street and your're in the parking lot. The actual quality of the hotel is 3 stars; the shower did work, but not well, relatively clean beds but very dirty carpet, and no USB ports in the electrical outlets so bring a wall charger if staying here. Staff was friendly enough and I got back my cash deposit upon checkout. I would stay here again.

Spiders in the room and bathroom. Had to kill one so my son can sleep. Dead cockroaches on the bathroom floor.
Why is this hotel so gross.? I had my children with me.
The fridge wasn’t working. My food got wet on the bottom.
I took pics and showed the guy at the desk. He didn’t know what to say. No apology.
Heater did not heat but the air it did blow out still kept the room kind of warm. A little noisy being right next to the 24 hour window. Other than that, the room was good.
