What guests think

Reviews of Buena Park Inn highlight a budget-friendly, conveniently located motel near Knott’s Berry Farm, with some guests finding rooms quiet and beds acceptable, but many reporting serious cleanliness issues including roaches, worn linens, odors, and general disrepair.

Service is mixed, with quick check-ins and some welcoming staff offset by reports of rude or unresponsive managers and deposit/refund disputes. Rooms are basic and often dated, with recurring maintenance problems such as leaking refrigerators, noisy or weak A/C, and loose outlets, though a few note spacious layouts or multi-bed family options. The location is convenient for Knott’s and nearby dining, but several guests felt the area and on-property activity could be noisy or unsafe. Expect a low-cost stay prioritizing location over comfort and consistency.

PROS: The best feature of this property was that the room had 3 queen size beds and a half wall that separated two of the beds from the third. It was spacious in that regard and allowed our family to stay together. The check-in and check-out was quick and easy. The parking was free and right in front of the room. CONS: The room clearly had not been swept before we arrived and the sheets had seen better days (thin, stained, torn). The walls had peeling paint, the headboards had a thick layer of dust and there was only one small garbage can for the entire suite. Overall impression: in general, the room did not look as nice as the photo on Expedia and it made all of us feel a little uncomfortable. It was good enough for one night but we won’t be staying here again.

For a no-frills stay, this was a nice property for us. We came here for 5 days, 4 nights. When you check in, you are greeted by friendly staff and they have you register one car per room. The room itself is older and has the distinct smell of cigarettes locked into the carpets but overall it was clean. Shower water pressure was fine and there wasn't too much noise or traffic to deal with in the area. When we had difficulties with our room, the manager switched us without any problems. Also, there is laundry onsite that's fairly inexpensive. The inn is close to Anaheim, Cypress, and all the little Korean shops you could desire. We have fun exploring the culinary and shopping sites in the area. I would stay here again.

WE ASK FOR A GROUND FLOOR SUITE AS WE DON'T LIKE STAIRS AND THEY LET US. LARGER SHOWER. KING BED WAS GREAT. TV CHANNEL SELECTION WAS A CHALLENGE SINCE HARD TO REMEMBER WHICH CHANEL HAS THE TV GUILD. THE REMOTE CONTROL DID NOT HAVE A BUTTON FOR TV GUILD SELECTION. BUT THAT WAS THE ONLY DOWNSIDE. OUR STAY WAS OVERALL GOOD. WILL RECOMMEND TO OTHER VISITORS AND WOULD BOOK AGAIN.

This hotel has the dirtiest rooms and are infested with cockroaches. I will not be recommending this hotel to anyone and it’s sad to say that it is very close to Knotts Berry Farm. Expedia should ban them from their platform because of their many negative reviews.

The air conditioning was not working properly, the top bed covers had burn holes and stains, and the sheets also had stains. The only thing in the room that has been updated is the tv and the bathroom. The greates thing was the shower head and the water heater kept the water hot long enough for me and my kids to take ahowers.

The check in staff was friendly. The first room I was given had water all over the floor from a leaking refrigerator. The front desk staff got me a new room. The walls and doors were dirty, the sheets were clean but old and worn. When I woke in the middle of the night to use the restroom I stepped in a bunch of water to find out the refrigerator in the second room I was given was also leaking. I will not stay here again. It did not feel like a safe area, especially for a solo female traveler.

The overall stay was horrible. From the customer service to the cleanliness of the room. The room had cockroaches on the wall but they had no other rooms to transfer us to as it was Memorial Day weekend. They tried charging us for 2 room when only ome was booked and even though I shouted them the receipt from the Hotels.com app along with my bank statement showing what was paid they threatened to call the cops and locked us out of room unless another $100 deposit was paid. The explanation they gave was they have nothing to do with 3rd party purchases.

I did not stay, because the the front desk rep. Was very very rude. He yelled at me and my child. He asked for a 100 dollar deposit and snatched it out of my hand. While I was trying to recover my refund and deposit, he stayed in the back for about 10 minutes and wouldn’t come the the front. He ignored the Expedia rep. Calls several times. Before all of that he came out to the parking area and watched us while he smoked a cigarette, that whole experience was very unpleasant, scary, creepy, rude, and makes me never ever want to go there ever again. His behavior was disgusting and very disrespectful and very very unacceptable. Also I forgot to mention he begin to eat his food at the ending of his bad behavior.

Front desk lady was annoyed with everything in her life it seemed. Given 1 room key and the room was a disaster and not ready. Given a 2nd room that was 2 queens when booked 1 king. Didn’t feel like dealing with the angry front desk lady so we stayed. Wouldn't recommend unless there is literally nothing else to sleep in.

We have stayed here on two separate occasions. Both times for around a week and the staff was nice, the mini fridge and microwave were a plus. The Motel is within walking distance of both Knotts Berry Farm and if you don’t always like to eat out like my family and I you can walk to Walmart grocery store.

GREAT COSTUMER SERVICE!!! Everyone we came in contact with that worked at the Buena Park inn was so nice and super respectful. We had an issue with the outlets and the lady at the front desk took care of it right away. Will definitely be staying here again. The only bad part was the people in the room above us, they were super loud and seemed to be stomping their feet when they walked. Beside that though the overall stay was very good. Great water pressure unlimited hot water so the whole family had a hot shower after our long day at Knotts. Oh yea and it was only a 10 minute walk to the park entrance.
