You can't go wqrong with this hotel, very friendly staff and clean rooms. We stayed as a family and found we were more than pleased with the pool area, room size and amenities offered including a free shuttle to disneyland. Great hotel for the price and we understand they intend to renovate in spring which will be even better. Easy walking distance to places such as medevil times, pirates dinner theatres, as well as rock and brew restartaunt. There are other food options along the way as well.

This was so fun. We took our grandson. Knotts hotel was comfortable, accommodating, and friendly. Yes we’d stay again and yes we would recommend!
The room itself was clean and roomy. We love the fact that it’s right next to the amusement park, shopping, restaurants. The hotel also has a small gym and restaurant right in the hotel.
