13 Best 5 star hotels in La Palma, CA (2022)

Mara Jade

The people who work here are friendly and the convenience to the park is fantastic Everyone I spoke with tried their best to make me feel welcome and comfortable I really really wanted to like the hotel

But honestly, l’d rather pay full price for tickets and cover the cost of parking to stay anywhere where at least the beds are comfortable, breakfast is included, and I don’t have to worry about the Creature from the Black Lagoon trying to make a break for it through the bathroom sinkIf you like extra firm mattresses, you’re probably fine However, for people who need something softer, this bed was so uncomfortable that it kept me up all night long I was in so much pain and so exhausted the next morning that actually going into and spending the day at Knott’s park was really rough I even had to call the front desk at about 230am just to get a comforter to lay on top of to try to make it easier to sleep but I was still not able to get comfortable Laying on the floor with a sleeping bag would have been marginally less comfortable but not by muchThe pool area was actually delightful No complaints thereSadly, after spending the day at the park, we came back to a hallway that smelled as though it were drowning in marijuana We then discovered a thick, black, gunk and what looked like rocks sitting in our sink To their credit, the maintenance staff did a great job cleaning it up Like I said, the people are pretty awesomeIf I’d managed to get a good night sleep here, I would have given them 4 stars at least but the hotel failed to serve its primary purpose

You sacrifice fanciness for convenience here The whole Snoopy wing could use a remodel, it is very old and dirty The walls are pretty thin also, don’t expect fantastic sleep

The emergency fire sprinklers had cups taped over them?!? How is that safe??? The room AC barely kept up with the July heat Bathroom sink was clogged up 6 floors and took the maintenance crew hours to resolve, while leaving my room door open the whole time, exposing my valuables BUT the staff were very nice and accommodating The lobby looks brand new, the restaurant inside is hot but very nice and beautifully run Electric scooters for rent in the lobby are fantastic ($60/day)

The Knotts Berry Farm Hotel is in a great location You can hear the roller coasters going from almost any room The walk is about 5 minutes from their lobby to the theme park gate, very convenient

The parking lot is easy to access and the lobby appears to have been remodeled in the last decade I wish I could day the same for the rooms It appeared the only modern upgrade was the addition of a flat screen television The rooms are small and the floor felt dirty to walk on with bare feet The bathroom is cramped, and the mattress was the most uncomfortable I have slept on in living memory Each day, I struggled to get up as I felt new and increasingly more uncomfortable pains in my hips, back, neck and shoulders When we finally came home, we went through a whole process to try and make sure we didn’t bring bed bugs home with us Leaving things outside, washing things multiple times as we brought them into the house, and lots of showers that first day back I think we escaped unscathed, but it is disappointing to think we had to even take all those precautions
