Close to everything you want to see
On a recent trip out west, our family stayed at The Buena Park Hotel & Suites in Buena Park, California.
The hotel is currently undergoing a remodeling phase, and we were lucky to be among the first guests to stay in their updated accommodations.
The Buena Park Hotel & Suites is a stone’s throw away from Knott’s Berry Farms and within minutes of the Pirate’s Dinner Adventure.
Also, Disneyland and Downtown Disney are only 13 minutes away (6.7 miles).
The Beuna Park Hotel & Suites sits on well-maintained grounds, and the hotel has a retro architectural style that I like a lot.
We got the larger family suite, which has plenty of space to spread out and relax.
The family suite option is well laid out, with a separate living room area with French doors that open up to sleeping quarters featuring double beds.
Each room has an en suite bathroom. Perfect. The suite was spacious and easily accommodated our family of five.
Remember the French doors I mentioned earlier? Well, this means we had a little privacy, which afforded us some marital bliss privacy. Thumbs up.
The main sitting area featured a large flat-screen t.v. Mini-refrigerator and microwave. It also featured a sofa bed, which was nice because the boys didn’t have to try to pile into a single bed.
There is also a sink and a bathroom off the main room.
Note: if you are planning on having someone in your party sleep on the sofa bed, pick up extra bedding when you check-in.
The main office may be quite a distance from your hotel room.
Typically, the hotel staff can bring needed items to your room, but it is better to get them right after you check in rather than later.
The verdict
We stayed here for two days and didn’t encounter any difficulties. The rooms were orderly and clean.
The showers were hot, and the beds had new mattresses and were comfortable. There is a large swimming pool on the hotel grounds, and breakfast was served in the main lobby.
My only complaint is there is no elevator to get to the second floor; you’ll have to use the stairs. If this is a concern when booking your room, specify that you need a ground-floor room.
This is a budget-friendly hotel, not too far from many local attractions, and I recommend it.
You can learn more about the hotel and book your stay by visiting their website here. There you will also be able to find the latest specials and deals.
Also, be sure to check them out on Facebook and read other reviews on Tripadvisor.

That sounds like a lovely place to stay. I have always wanted to visit this part of CA, so now I know where to stay when I do.

A comfortable bed is sometimes all you need. Looks like you got so much more.

That is a very nice room! I like how roomy it seems and comfy beds away from home are essential!

This hotel sounds really cozy! It’s so close to so many fun tourist attractions too!
Megan Elford says
Looks like a great place to stay! We prefer to stay in budget-friendly hotels with the kids (when it’s just the two of us, it’s a different story), and this looks like a great option!
Jenni E. {Sweet Pennies from Heaven} says
I just got back from a trip to Disneyland. I love reading reviews like this so you know where to stay when you travel around. It’s always helpful.
Alli says
It looks like a very nice place to stay! It sure doesn’t look like a budget hotel. I like that each room has a bathroom.
onceuponamaritime says
This hotel looks super amazing. really simple yet very home like. What a great place to stay at, I would surely love to myself.
Kisa Johnson says
Wow! What a fantastic room!
I have to admit when you mentioned Knott’s I was pretty jealous, I haven’t been there since I was a kid! I hope someday I’ll be able to take the kids there.
Tammilee Tips says
I love Disneyland!! I need to remember this hotel the next time I am there it looks amazing!
HilLesha says
I love that it is affordable! It looks like it has a comfortable, home-like atmosphere, too.
R U S S says
For me, a great location is always a good reason to pick a certain hotel. It’s so convenient to stay in a hotel that took accessibility into consideration + it being close to a lot of attractions & dining establishments. Excellent customer service would be an awesome bonus. It’s nice to know that you had a great stay at Buena Park Hotel Suites – will keep them in mind for future trips.

When heading to Disneyland, some families prefer to stay inside the Disneyland Hotel to make the most of their Disneyland experience. For those who have tighter budget, the Buena Park Hotel and Suites is a nice choice.

That looks like a great place to stay. We’ve never been to the Buena Park area, much more to any part of CA. We have friends there though. I hope we get to visit the place someday.
Chubskulit Rose says
It looks very spacious and I love that it provided some privacy for the both of you. Looks like a nice place to stay when vacationing.

Cara (@StylishGeek) says
I remember seeing the Buena Park Hotel & Suites in Buena Park during a visit to the Disneyland area. It was a little bit farther than we expected, so we ended up staying at the Annabella. But you are right that it’s centrally located between Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm!
krystal says
This is a convenient place to stay. I think I would stay there if I was ever in town there!
Erin says
What a lovely place to stay! I’m going to be sharing this with my husband since we’ve been talking about taking a vacation soon!
Tonya C says
Sometimes staying at a hotel a little away from a tourist attraction does save you lots of money. It’s especially nice when it’s located near a bunch of attractions like this one is.
Peachy @ The Peach Kitchen says
This looks like a nice place to stay. I would love to go and see Knott’s Berry Farm.
Eileen says
Looks like a nice place to stay! I’m sure you had a wonderful vacation!
