Categories

Cleanliness
1.5
Multiple reviews report stained bed sheets, soiled linens and towels, hair in the shower, filthy shower heads, toilet leaks, and dog waste around the property — overall very poor cleanliness.
Service
10
Staff are repeatedly described as friendly, helpful, and accommodating (easy check-in reported, staff helped with room changes). Despite one check-in confusion and a call-center manager mention, service comments are consistently positive.
Location
10
Location is consistently praised for proximity to Knott's Berry Farm and nearby coffee/dinner options — highly convenient for theme-park visitors despite some reports of a sketchy-feeling surrounding area.
Room Quality
2.5
Rooms have multiple issues: uncomfortable/noisy beds, thin walls (noise at night), damaged walls, missing prior-guest items, poor water pressure, and shower/toilet problems — room quality is poor.
Amenities
3
Reported amenity problems include a very dirty/smelly pool (marijuana smell), lack of elevator, missing TV remote, no bathtub plug, and thin/soiled towels — amenities are substandard.
Value for Money
3.5
Some guests noted it was cheap and 'sufficed' for a short stay, but overall the time lost, cleanliness and safety concerns make it poor value for money.
Food and Beverage
5
Not mentioned in reviews; assigned the target overall rating (standard quality for this hotel tier).
Overall Experience
4.5
Overall impression is negative: multiple guests would not recommend, reported feeling unsafe, loud/noisy nights, and widespread cleanliness/property disrepair; a few positives (helpful staff, convenient location) soften but do not outweigh negatives.

Pros:

First impressions is everything. The bed sheets were dirty and stained. The shower head was really filthy. The toilet base leaked onto the floor after flushing.

DO NOT RECOMMEND
Pros:

we checked in about noon and checked back out about 9 pm as we did not feel safe, it was loud with people yelling at each other, dogs barking, cats meowing, kid crying. We did not feel safe. We also had a strange noise going off in our room in the toilet about every 15 minutes which would have kept us up all night and the kids wanted to use the pool but it was so disgusting we did not even go inside the fence as it smelt so strongly of marijuana and the people inside the fence looked very sketchy.

Pros:

This was is not a motel 6 it is the berry inn. Wasted hours of my family’s time. Ask Christian a manager in a call center from El Salvador. I’ll be calling in the morning.

Pros:

At the start, after giving my name and drivers license to the front desk, they seemed confused about the booking. For a minute I started worrying if it had actually gone through. One of the worse feelings to have after a long day traveling. I had to give multiple details to get them to confirm I had a booking with them. There are no elevators, and so had to carry bags all the way upstairs, when there were tons of free rooms downstairs. I asked for a change, and the desk was happy to make that accommodation. Then there was so much noise at 4am we couldn't sleep. It felt like the walls were super thin. The linen was dirty. As soon as we walked in, there is a blanket there was hair and dirt on it. The bed linen seemed clean, but after closer inspection there was splotches of stuff all over the linen, and the pillows didn't seem perfectly clean. The bathroom towels smelled, so we used our own beach towels as we didn't trust them. A few hair balls were on the shower lining. Not the best, but it sufficed for just a few days to get cheap accommodation. Will try another venue next time. A drunk guy was out in the parking lot screaming as soon as we got there. Wasn't a nice feeling with kids being with us at the time. Was on edge a bit staying there.

would not stay here again
Pros:

The shower was terrible no water pressure. No remote for the tv. No clog for the bathtub to take a bath. Damage to walls. Prior guest items were still in the room.

Pros:

This motel is not called The Berry Inn anymore, it’s a Motel 6 now. Literally the nastiest motel I’ve ever been to. The staff was great and helpful, but the property was in disrepair. All of the towels, linens, pillows, walls, floor had stains (blood, dirt, and god knows what else). The towels were so thin that one drop of water would soak it. The shower head water pressure was horrible! It would take a while to wash off the shampoo and soap off us. The beds were really uncomfortable and noisy. Any movement would make a metallic squeaking noise that would keep us away like a cricket singing away. The showers from the other rooms could be heard in our room at all hours of the evening. There is dog poop and pee all over the property. There were some people in the hotel with aggressive dogs that lunged at my children when walking by. I believe they live at the motel because the dog poop around the property looked really old along with a lot of fresh ones. The only good thing about this property is the closeness to Knotts berry farm.

RUN!
Pros:

The room is not like it is portrayed in the pics. It is slightly shabbier and the beds are very uncomfortable and do not have proper blankets. The hotel is a Motel 6, not The Berry Inn. The guests that stay are very questionable. I was not able to get proper sleep as there was a drunk or psychotic gues down the hall screaming at all hours. I called front desk and nothing was done. The customer service from the guy Gio when i complained was horrible. Very dismissive. I would NOT recommend

Good for the night
Pros:

Pros:
Walking distance to knotts berry farm
Easy to find

Cons:
We had a long drive then they could figure out our destination. We had to pay again so my daughter could get in a pee. (They did refund next day)

The comforter was a decorated sheet and provided no warmth.

They told us the pool was open, it was not. The pool was green and had randon items at the bottom of it.

Coffee machine was down.


It provided us what my family needed for our 1.5 day stay. If we were spending any extended length of time we would look for more amentities

Pros:

Pool was not maintained- green slim throughout.
The name of the place had changed and it was now a Motel 6 and was not on par with other Motel 6's that I've stayed at before.

I checked in and then I checked out four hours later. I did not feel comfortable in the area. I did not feel comfortable in the room. Too much homeless I felt my car was not safe in the parking lot. I’d like a full refund

No thanks
Pros:

Check in was friendly however a lot of disappointments. No coffee in room. No bath mat for tile bath floor. Bed not comfortable and sat on top of tin metal plattform that squeaked when you moved. 3 channels on tv and remote didnt work. Freezer was brown inside. No laundry bag in closet. Thin walls heard neighbors till 3am. Also large debris piles in hallway and outside. Was close to park, and didnt smell, but I'd not choose to stay again.
