The Knotts Berry Farm Hotel and Resort
Located right on the Knott's theme park property, The Knott's Berry Farm Hotel and Resort offers visitors luxury accommodations within close walking distance of both the Knotts theme park entrance and Knotts Soak City.First, I'm going to give you the current address and phone numbers for the hotel. The Knotts Berry Farm Resort Hotel was a member of the Radisson hotel chain until recently...and so the telephone numbers you have in your tourist guide books may no longer apply. The Knott's Berry Hotel's toll-free telephone number is 1-(866)752-2444 The Knott's Berry Farm Hotel's local phone number is (714)995-1111 The Knott's Berry Farm Hotel website address is:

Knotts Berry Farm Hotel Amenities
In addition to being steps from the Knotts theme park, the Knotts Berry Farm Hotel offers its OWN resort-style "things to do." Here's a list of the amenities you'll find in the hotel and on the resort grounds---Heated outdoor swimming pool kept at 80 degrees F Whirlpool, Sauna and steamroom 2 lighted tennis courts Basketball court State-of-the-art Workout Facility Youth game room (coin-op games) Gift Shop Meeting Facilities---Planning a family reunion or a wedding? The Knotts Berry Farm Hotel and Resort has meeting facilities for groups up to 500! Of course, your group doesn't have to be THAT large, as meeting rooms for smaller groups are available, as well. This hotel has special wedding/reception packages, so be sure to contact the hotel (via the web link above) if you'd like to make such arrangements. Snoopy-themed rooms available! (Large extra charge, however.) What child WOULDN'T like to walk down corridors lined with whimsical pictures of the Peanuts gang, and then step into a room bedecked with Snoopy bedspreads and Snoopy decorations? Snoopy will PERSONALLY come to tuck in the kiddies at bedtime (which Knotts figures is around 8 pm...although many tourists may feel this is too early.) There IS, however, an extra fee for the Snoopy rooms. Standard Rooms with NO Snoopy decor---What business person or teenager WANTS pictures of Snoopy hanging on the wall? Not many, of course, so the standard rooms at the Knotts Berry Farm Hotel have a pleasant vacation-style decor that better suits guests of all ages. In-room coffee maker Irons and boards In-room safe Voice Mail Some rooms have great views of the Knotts Berry Farm theme park, or of Soak City and the beautiful Knotts 1/2 sized replica of Philadelphia's Independence Hall. Knotts Berry Farm Hotel and Resort -- Prices and Packages
Unlike with the Disneyland Resort hotels, you'll be able to book a room at the Knotts Berry Farm Hotel via discount hotel brokers. For example, at the discount broker Expedia, I was able to find a standard room for as low as $69 on a weekday during the slow winter season, early 2007. On the other end, booking the same standard room on the Saturday evening during July 2007 (during the busy summer tourist season), Expedia gave me a $129 quote. For a resort-style hotel, those prices aren't bad.Folks looking for budget accommodations have no need to worry---the city of Buena Park is FULL of hotels and motels in all price ranges...many on Beach Blvd. not far from Knott's theme park. I won't be covering these other motels in this website, but your favorite on-line discount hotel broker will pull up a large selection for you. ***The Classic Package---This package includes a standard room for 1 night, admission to the Knott's Berry Farm theme park for 4, and a breakfast buffet for 4. Depending on what date of your travel, this package ranged from $239--269 in 2007. (That's for the WHOLE FAMILY, not per-person. Especially if you travel during the off-season, this is a good deal.) Upgrading your package to "Snoopy Room" accommodations will cost another $50 or more (ouch!) ***The Ultimate Package---You'll get 2 nights at the Knotts Berry Farm Hotel, 1 morning's breakfast buffet for four, 1 day's admission to Knott's Berry Farm theme park for 4, and 1 day's admission to Knott's Soak City for 4. (If you use this package in the off-season when Soak City is closed, you'll receive 2 days of admission to the theme park, instead.) Depending on your dates of travel, this package cost between $359--429 during 2007. Once again, that's for the WHOLE GROUP, not per-person. Halloween Haunt packages at the Knott's HotelEvery year, the Knott's Hotel offers a good play & stay package
If you're planning to attend Knott's Berry Farm's ultra-popular annual Halloween Haunt...there's a very good reason that you MAY want to consider staying at the Knott's Hotel during the event. While the Knott's "Scary Farm" event is considered by most theme park industry observers to be the VERY best Halloween event in the USA, it does have its problems. Mainly, that on its busiest nights, waiting lines for the Halloween Haunt's attractions can be more frightening than the ghouls who are waiting to pop out and scare you! Other than making sure you arrive at the Knott's entrance very early...even before opening time...what can you do to wait less? Answer: some of the Knott's Hotel's Halloween Haunt packages have VIP "front of line" privileges included in the price! If you'd like to visit Knott's Scary Farm on a popular night...and you'd like to do more than hang out in line...this may be just what you're looking for. There are several differently priced packages. For 2007, one was called the "Bare Bones package," which costs less than the others...but threw in less amenities. Other packages included meals, limited-edition T-shirts and Halloween Haunt souvenirs in the package price. If you're interested in this fun hotel & admission package, Knott's will be making the announcement of the details in September, 2008, if the park follows its usual precedent.
