Reviews for Best Host Inn
Review 1:The guy who worked the front desk when we checked in named Fernando was completely cold, very UNwelcoming, had zero eye contact and just rattled off his instructions so fast that neither my husband nor I could even understand much of what he said. Also while you can see recent improvements, the work looks shoddy. Like a handyman was hired instead of a professional. Looks like new granite counters with old sinks and old faucets. To be very honest, the entire hotel from the office to the breakfast room to the rooms look extremely tacky. Lots of fake flowers put in pots with real plants. Weird colorful neon lights in the front office. With mirrored counters but more fake flowers. It's like someone had an idea to fix the place up but really REALLY should've hired a decorator and skilled workers to have done a better job. The bed was reasonable comfortable but they dont have double pane windows or weatherstripping at the doors so you hear all the car traffic that's right outside the door. It was for this reason that we checked out one day early. And honestly, we did not feel safe there. Although they offer a free breakfast, based on the condition of the hotel, we did not want to eat there.
Review 2:The man who worked the front desk on Saturday jan 16 was very good. And the overall cleanliness was satisfactory.
Review 3:Satellite TV goes in and out which sucked but at the same time I didn't travel to go watch TV anyways so its definitely a minor detail.
Review 4:Super cheap in price, lovely hotel. I actually felt welcomed. Great location. Plenty of parking. I think we finally found the hotel will be staying at from now on.
Review 5:The breakfast room was very crowded and hard to get to the food or the tables. However the staff did their best to keep up and refill the food as needed. It was just a busy day.
Review 6:Great location across from Knott's. Friendly staff and the welcome basket (including wine!) was a welcome treat.
Review 7:Room was under the stairs, dirty, antiquated, zero to poor wifi, cable was limited to 2-3 fuzzy stations. Asked to be moved, had to wait until the next day to be moved to a slightly better room. Ended up leaving one night early despite being fully paid because I just couldn't bear another night. The breakfast was sub par, only went once. Free is not always worth it. You get what you pay for, and this place was okay at best. Lower your expectations and you might be just fine. The welcome basket is a nice touch and the staff were really great, not their fault this place has seen way better days.
Review 8:Staff was great, location to Knott's was excellent.
Review 9:We didn't like the tweakers who hung out in the parking lot by their van. It was creepy. On the last day we saw a dead cockroach at the bottom of the stairs. The fan in the bathroom was too loud when you turn the light on.
Review 10:It was close to restaurants, a Walgreens & other attractions. The bed was comfortable. Good for what you pay for. It was perfect for winding down from a busy day going to different theme parks and sight seeing. The complimentary gift basket was a really nice touch & was included because we stayed for 5 days.
Review 11:Walls were thinking so you can hear your neighbors. The curtains don't keep out the outside lights at night so room doesn't get dark to sleep.
Review 12:Heater did not work in the room. Maintenance was out driving the shuttle so we asked for blankets instead. Bathroom tile was old and dirty looking. Random people outside hanging around and smoking. Toilet would not always flush completely. You can't fix infrastructure problems with potted plants!
Review 13:Location close to Knotts Berry Farm. Friendly staff that aims to please. Great breakfast. Welcome basket with wine and complementary fruit and cookies, and even small gifts for the kids. Nice looking lobby and halls. Heated pool.
Review 14:Needs a Jacuzzi! Our phone kept ringing with no one there so we unplugged it!
Review 15:The nice extras: toiletries (with actual conditioner, not a combo shampoo/conditioner), fridge, microwave, coffee, fresh fruit, breakfast, snacks, water. Walking distance to Knotts. Front desk staff. Maintenance staff.
Review 16:Everything was good.
Review 17:I had the family suite. Nice touch on the welcome basket. Super friendly staff. Good breakfast and location saved me $18 on knott's parking!
Review 18:Room could have been cleaned better. Toilet was loose. Critters in the bathroom. Could use a few updates. Tv was fuzzy not many channels came in clear. Other guests were noisy could hear the steps in hallways and stairs.
Review 19:Close to knotts. Free breakfast and gift basket in the room with wine. Staff is great.
Review 20:On the room 103 on the night the outside light hit inside the room seen it was dayy time.
Review 21:I was surprised of the complimentary basket they give you. And the full breakfast was delicious. And you can walk to knotts berry in 5 minutes.
Review 22:When we arrived there was a gentleman in a wheelchair in the doorway clearly under the influence of drugs as he was slumped over, mouth hanging open, his belongings open for all to see. We had to sidestep around him with our young children. There was another gentleman sitting on one of the couches also under the influence as he kept slumping over and dropping his phone. His pants were on the floor next to the couch and his other belongings on the other side of the couch. When my husband inquired to the concierge if it was common practice to let drug addicts hang out in the lobby his reply was that they were staying at the hotel. Unfortunately this is a poor welcome and site for incoming guest especially those with children. There was a family that was behind us and the woman was able to enter the lobby with their children in the stroller as the doorway was blocked by the man in the wheelchair slumped over with his hand on the floor. Shower water was tepid at best. TV stations were fuzzy and some didn't come in at all. Our room was on the first floor so it was very loud.
Review 23:The lobby was clean and kept up (aside from the comments in the didn't like sadly), staff was very efficient as it was busy when we checked in, the pen and pencil gift for the children was a very nice touch, our room was clean, the welcome basket was a lovely touch. The proximity to Knotts Berry Farm was perfect.
Review 24:Customer service here is 150%! The free gifts for kids, the snacks in the lobby, the shuttle, the welcome basket, free breakfast, amazing! I've stayed at the Plaza in NYC, and never gotten such amazing customer service. We will definitely be back!
Review 25:Very touchy internet throughout the week. Had a terrible time getting the WIFI to even work and had to call the desk several times to have the router reset. Because it was the Holidays, there was no one available to come out to the hotel and service it...
Review 26:Fabulous location for Knott's Berry Farm! Staff were friendly and helpful. Hotel would be exceptional if it had a hot tub though! and the heated outdoor pool was pretty cold for swimming! Fantastic breakfast! and helpful friendly staff. We had an excellent stay!
Review 27:The tv had very poor channel Selection. And poor quality But wasn t there to watch tv
Review 28:The room was big. The hot breakfast was great! I well be back. Great place
Review 29:The bathroom around the edge of floor in room was dirty and outside the door area to pool from breakfast room was filthy!

Review 31:Beds and pillows were not comfortable. No electric plug by the bed so I couldn't charge my phone by the bed.
Review 32:I liked the location. Close to Knotts. Staff was nice and friendly. Clean room. Good breakfast. Fairly quiet. Fridge and microwave in the room
Review 33:I liked everything.
Review 34:The beds and pillows are very comfortable. I like that they had a microwave and fridge in the room. Very clean. Breakfast was ok. I wanted to stay another night but they were sold out, that's how you know it is a great place to stay.
Review 35:No hot water in the room. Maintenance fixed it late that night. Room was slightly dirty nothing major but could have been gone through again.
Review 36:Staff was excellent. Location to knotts is great. Free breakfast.
Review 37:Fantastic value for $. Nice staff, good facilities, lots of pillows, full buffet breakfast, free shuttle and a welcome basket. Not sure how they manage to make $, but no complaints!
Review 38:The one problem was the noise. We all had difficulty sleeping due to the noise of other guests on the landing and street noise. With the lights off in the room, we were able to see a ring of light outlining the door to the outside. So, of course we could hear everything outside too.
Review 39:The room was clean, spacious and new looking. the beds were nice and fairly comfortable.
Review 40:They room aren't very sound proof you can hear kids in rooms up above running & people outside the rooms also! Came to check in at 3 which is check on time & our room wasn't going to be ready until 330! Staff wasn't really rude but just didn't say anything beside it won't be ready til 330! TV did have many station & bad reception!8
Review 41:The hotel was located close to knotts berry farms & rooms were clean & spacious! Also had good full breakfast & gift basket in the room for guests!
Review 42:Did not like that you had to get your breakfast vouchers each day separately. There was also only 1 ice machine in the whole place and you needed to get an employee to turn it on for you to use. The walls were kinda thin so you could hear a car speeding down the road pretty clear.
Review 43:I would say this place is slightly above average. Not a bad place but not a spectacular place either. Clean and VERY spacious room. The staff was friendly and happy to help with everything. There was a nice variety with breakfast. Would recommend and stay again. :)
Review 44:There's only 3 floors and an elevator...parking is free and close to the room...Breakfast was excellent...staffs was friendly...overall I will recommend it to family and friends.
Review 45:We ordered a shuttle service the night before, we arrived in the lobbyprior to the service being there, as we started to walk to our shuttleservice, a group of people got in before we could. No room for us, wehad to wait for the next shuttle which put us back 15 minutes which wemissed our apt and meeting up with another party. When we explained thisto the lobby personal he was like no biggie and showed no concern,Breakfast was OK, to busy, not enough room to eat, sausage was over cooked. eggs were good, very small place to get your breakfast
Review 46:Free drinks, service was good.. Very close to Knotts.....except
Review 47:Nope
Review 48:Staff is great, beds are super comfy, the room feels like a 4 /5 star location with what is available like fridge, coffee, welcome basket with wine and candy, we love this place!
Review 49:Was charged twice for the same night .when I brought it to their attention they told me the bank probably did it not them. When I called the bank they confirmed that the hotel charged twice and removed 1 charge . I never even got an apology
Review 50:Location. Clean
Review 51:ONE OF THE BEDS WAS SMALLER THAN THE OTHER AND THE SMALLER ONE WAS UNEVEN AND HAD THE FEELING WE WERE GOING TO FALL OFF THE EDGES!
Review 52:STAFF MADE US FEEL SO SO SPECIAL AND IMPORTANT! THE EXTRAS (BIRTHDAY DECORATIONS, CHAMPAGNE, GIFT BASKET, CUPCAKES, FRESH FRUIT, COOKIES, COFFEE, PUNCH, POPCORN AND BOTTLED WATER) SUCH A GREAT VALUE FOR OUR FAMILY AND THE KIDS LOVED THEIR OWN "APARTMENT" IN THE FAMILY ROOM! THE BREAKFAST WAS VERY, VERY GOOD!
Review 53:This was our third time at this Motel. Always have been satisfied with all accommodations. Great Staff and always happy faces. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
Review 54:Management terrible. Sink did not work and they told me to brush my. Teeth in the bathtub. Would not return calls. Worst experience ever from an experienced travler
Review 55:The bathrooms could use some upgrades. But not bad.
Review 56:Breakfast, the hospitality and very friendly and offered excellent service. B-day decorations, apple cider and cupcakes where very nice. The gift basket in the room was such a nice touch. The hospitality is amazing! This hotel goes far and above the expectations of the usual hotel experiences.
Review 57:The staff was super friendly and tried with so many extra touches to make it a very nice stay. Breakfast was better than expected. Walking distance to Knott's Berry Farm. We will stay again.
Review 58:Very loud street noise room 108. A wall around the front would fix that. Only pork meat at breakfast eggs were cold and hard. No leniency for 30 minute check out time.
Review 59:I liked the pillows and bed which wad important to me because I was tired! The staff were very accommodating, cheerful, and understanding. 1year ago a new owner came and remodeled all the rooms with new beds and mattresses. I'm glad I decided to stay. The breakfast was adequate. You can make your own Belgium waffles the rest is made. Complimentary apples and oranges cookies popcorn and Pepsi and coffee juice and water in the lobby. Shuttle service to Knotts, which saves on parking!
Review 60:Very, very loud. Not sure if we just had bad neighbors or if that's nornal. The only reason we wouldn't stay here again would be the noise. Everything else was super nice.
Review 61:The staff was very friendly. Clean and comfortable room. Breakfast was good.
Review 62:Staff where amazing even gave us a beer on arrival beds really comfortable and the gift basket in the room such a nice touch. Great location close to Knott's Berry farm.
Review 63:Vending machines are in the sun so the snacks in it are melted and the soda is barely cold but there is a Walgreens right across the street.
Review 64:Free full breakfast in the morning and a nice welcome basket with wine, water, and snacks.
Review 65:All of the staff were extremely friendly, and very helpful. Breakfast was plentiful, rooms were clean. I could not fault a thing. A little traffic noise....it's a city, kinda noisy neighbors in the corridors...it's a hotel. Overall A for effort and execution!
Review 66:The first room we were given was still under construction and the second room we were given was right next to construction. We ended up listening to power tools and construction racket all night long, apparently the crews were working 24/7.
Review 67:The staff was very nice and the hotel was so close to Knott's that we decided to just walk.
Review 68:Bed linen was soiled in a small area.
Review 69:What a nice find. Walked to amusement park. Staff was very kind. Gifts upon arrival. Breakfast was great. Excellent value!
Review 70:Very clean. Spacious family room. Staff (Fernando and Albert) very friendly. Would recommend to anyone wanting to visit LA and Disneyland. Rates very reasonable - great value for the money.
Review 71:The hotel was nice and staff friendly but very noisy outside at all hours of the night and wee morning. .also upstairs guests had kids that ran and jumped til about midnight. Hotel was clean but bed too bouncy.
Review 72:The only thing I can think of that could use some work would be some of the breakfast (potatoes, bacon). They get soggy from steam, possibly from the lid,...but there's much more to choose from
Review 73:Very friendly staff. You won't find a place that compares for this price.
Review 74:I love staying at his hotel. We always stay here! The staff is awesome, the family style rooms are perfect, and the breakfast is off the chain yummy!!! Can't wait till our next trip!
Review 75:The guy that checked us in was not very friendly. Breakfast was terrible, eggs were watery and cold, coffee was bland, no hot water for tea - even though it was free, we opted to eat out the next morning.
Review 76:Location was close to many places we wanted to visit.
Review 77:The hospitality is amazing! ,we travel a lot but this concept of this hotel is far above the expectations of the usual hotel experience. Thank you for being so generous to your travlers.
Review 78:Room had many amenities: refrigerator, microwave, toaster, dishes, flatware, blow dryer, magnified mirror and iron with ironing board. Staff let us park our car there while we went to Amusement park the next day. Full breakfast was very good!
Review 79:They were doing remodeling and it was a little crazy in the lobby at times, but the fresh coffee made up for it!
Review 80:The staff was wonderful, the breakfast was great, the welcome basket was perfect, Albert our check in host was great!
Review 81:we could not use the safe it was locked closed we asked to have it opened but that never happened over our 4 night stay, also the bathroom is a little bit old and looked like there was some mold growing on the shower walls
Review 82:we liked the gift basket but had to ask for a cork screw to open the wine, we liked the good assortment of breakfast food
Review 83:They had a gift basket waiting for us! We don't drink alcohol, so maybe they could do sparkling cider instead? Very clean and comfortable. I would stay there again.
Review 84:The rooms are older & need some sprucing up. It is definitely a well-used place. There was a very bad odor coming from our air conditioning unit. The cleaning staff needs to do a more thorough job, especially in the bathrooms.
Review 85:I loved how close it was to Knott's Berry Farm. The breakfast had a lot of choices & the staff was very friendly. The welcome basket was great, such a nice touch!
Review 86:Very noisy...other guests are inconsiderate and noisy late into the night...ac units had buckets of water under them which was off putting. The lobby was under construction
Review 87:Staff makes an effort
Review 88:The night front desk manager was terrible. No concept of customer service whatsoever. He failed to quiet an incredibly rowdy group the first night we stayed that kept the whole hotel awake until 2am and ignored requests for missing room amenities. The next day we were stranded without a shuttle due to a staff error - he declined to help, refused to apologize and accused us of lying. The morning front desk manager was much kinder and proved that it was, in fact, a staff error.
Review 89:Most of the staff were great. The welcome basket was wonderful and they were sweet enough to decorate one of our rooms for a birthday - a fantastic touch.
Review 90:Rooms did not block out light from outside security lights. Walls were thin and other loud guests made it hard to sleep at night. Shuttle service to Disneyland was nice, but some of the seat belts were broken.
Review 91:The rooms were clean and breakfast was good.
Review 92:We were going to Disneyland in the morning and wanted to arrive early enough to find parking and get into the park by 8am this is impossible if your breakfast starts at 7am. I suggest you open breakfast at 6am or at least 6:30 am
Review 93:I enjoyed the gift basket as well as the morning breakfast
Review 94:The work going on in front office area as my room was next to the office and the pounding of construction work was against my headboard.
Review 95:Location, friendly staff and gift basket
Review 96:The light in wash up area was to bright and the bathroom fan was noisy when turned on for others asleep in room.
Review 97:The hotel was clean,the staff were helpful,the breakfast was good.The gift basket was nice.There was a problem with the door not locking. They apologized n we were told we could leave but we stayed till it was fixed. When we returned there was an apology note and a package of delicious cupcakes. That was a nice gesture. The room served it's purpose. Thank you, Best Host.
Review 98:Parking at hotel gets full very early (like 6pm) because many guests park their cars at hotel and walk over to knott farm. Not many amenities nearby. Only Walgreens that's within walking distance. Makes it a little troublesome if you have to park your car early, and then walk to dinner.
Review 99:Great location. Very close to knott berry; in fact it's just opposite. Easy access to Disneyland via highway. Breakfast is included and they serve eggs, bacon, sausages, waffles; better than breakfast offered by hotel at this price range.
Review 100:The TV was fuzzie and we couldn't get regular channels. The TV in the breakfast room got the regular channels.
Review 101:That it was close to all of the places we wanted to visit.
Review 102:There seemed to be a lot of ants in the bathroom That was the only issue though.
Review 103:Everyone was very helpful and very nice. I had asked for an early check in time and they were busy cleaning but then I was told the room was ready and didn't have to wait for an extra hour.
Review 104:Had to wait for room after check in time of 300. They gave us the key and the room wasn't cleaned yet. Had to wait in car while they cleaned the room
Review 105:Close to knots berry farm
Review 106:Road noise in corner unit unacceptable. Bath had no stop; couldn't take a bath; only shower. Trash in elevator there for 2 days. Lots of construction debris all around the facility. Not clean enough.
Review 107:They did change rooms for us due to extremely little sleep first night.
Review 108:Bit noisy but not overly so for a Saturday night, which is when we stayed
Review 109:Location was great for Knotts Berry Farm and Medieval Times. The surprise room pack was really good. Staff all friendly and welcoming.
Review 110:We loved everything. Room was nice . Nice full breakfast . Close to knotts. Staff was very friendly. Welcome basket in room. Overall would stay again.. When checking out they gave me 4 souvenir pens for my kids.. What other Hotel does this..
Review 111:Ants coming out of a crack in the ceiling in the closet. Hotel was undergoing renovations at the front desk, very chaotic. Key-maker was down when we checked in so we didn't get a key for our room until late the next day. Floor of our room hadn't been vacuumed prior to checkin. Free Breakfast tasted even worse than it looked, which is saying something.
Review 112:Location was about the only thing this hotel had going for it.
Review 113:The front office staff was decent but not spectacular, the employeesrunning the breakfast were.
Review 114:From the moment we walked in the door of the hotel, we were in love! Theroom was fabulous, there was a cute note to me (name and all) with anice basket of wine, water, chips and other snacks.Then the breakfast the next morning was incredible, they had it all, juice, coffee, hot chocolate, waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, oatmeal, bagels, muffins... the works! We will be staying with them again. Parking was kind of an issue. We had to park in front of the office, blocking in the van (per their request) as there was not any parking left. HOWEVER we arrived around 1:30am so it was not a huge surprise. >> We are a young couple from northern California and we took my mother and brother with us on this trip. They were very impressed as well.
Review 115:Everyone there was super nice. The rooms are newly renovated, the pool area was clean, well maintained and not very crowded. The breakfast was offered every morning and had a good variety of options. Farrell's ice cream parlor was just down the street and had a great fun atmosphere. The facility offered complimentary shuttle but Knottsberry Farms is within an easy walking distance.
Review 116:room facilities
Review 117:Almost everything,it's a Motel only but offers water and Pepsi for free,Free Shuttle to Disneyland,snack basket,store around,good free breakfast,what else do you want?
Review 118:I'm sure it isn't their fault but there was tons of ants in the parking lot! I actually saw ants everywhere in that area not just the hotel parking spot.
Review 119:I love how amazing and friendly the staffs are. They gave my daughter a toy just because! They also had a cute gift basket in the room with a Thank you note!
Review 120:well we did found 2 black widow spider outside by the room door and by the end of our stay We saw some aunts but no big deal for us but maybe for other guest might be a big deal.
Review 121:nice room, clean and the location was great
Review 122:The room itself is just ok. I was disappointed that that the shower curtain smelled of mildew and bees kept flying in every time we opened door. I also found a huge cockroach, we captured and flushed it down the toilet. I thought the beds were ok, but my husband and son complained about back pain after sleeping.
Review 123:Staff was very nice and very accommodating! I loved that they gave a complimentary water and soda each day. The kids liked the popcorn too. Their welcome basket was a nice touch.
Review 124:No complaints. Maybe having breakfast hours be little later. Maybe from 6am-11am? Just a thought :)
Review 125:Staff was super personable, nice, and helpful. Our family room was clean and the beds were amazing! Super comfy! Loved the personal welcome note left with a basket filled with goodies. That was definetly a first. Haven't had this kind of service even from higher end hotels. Thank you!
Review 126:That there was no jacuzzi
Review 127:That they had a welcome basket and happy birthday balloons and cupcakes at no extra charge...also the shuttle was very easy and accommodated picking us up and waiting for me to drop off some and go back to the hotel.
Review 128:Arriving at the Best Host Inn and upon entering our room, we were surprised to find a beautiful gift basket! Best Host staff was very cheerful, helpful and made our stay very memorable.
Review 129:No hot water. TV remote didn't work. inconvenient getting ice. Only one coffee mug four guests. Did not like the soap (we didn't like the fragrance and it left a residue on skin). Outside Handicap check-in would have been bad if it had been raining. Wheelchair access to breakfast could have been better.
Review 130:Location. Welcome Basket was nice. Offer of free Water, Soda, or Beer at check-in. Breakfast food was good.
Review 131:K]Key did not work and it took three tries to finally get a key that did work. We were locked outside thedoor on a warm night waiting for the staff to remember we had a problem. Rooms smelled and so did the hall way by the elevator.
Review 132:Location and after finding out there was a greeting package and requesting one, we got it. It would have been better to have found it in our room. It is anice idea though.
