Hampton Inn and Suites Los Angeles Buena Park, Buena Park

Great location- near Sizzler restaurant and Target. Has a shuttle to Knotts. Pool is small but is heated. We loved our stay. Extra large suite with 2 bathrooms. Perfect for families with 4 kids. It was quiet even though we were near the elevator. The only thing I would change is the carpet. It looked worn/dirty. It could have been the color that helped it look that way but that was the only draw back. The breakfast was great too. When using the computer in the lobby- ask for the free code. Do not be duped and pay for the access.

Pros: Clean room, very good service, free newspaper Breakfast had variety and good, free wi-fi (didn't test how effective it was). If you want a quiet area, avoid Rooms 217/218/219. They're near the elevator. Ask for EVEN NUMBERED ROOMS & CHECK IF IT'S NEAR THE ELEVATOR. We heard people outside talking through the vents. After we turned on the heater, the alarm went off during the night. I requested for another room the following day (they had no non-smoking room available at that time). Within 2 hours, Joe, the front desk person moved us to Rm 216, which was much quieter. The room included a refrigerator-a must for those who have little kids. Great Job Joe! They even installed a door near the elevator to lessen the beeping of the elevator. With these things in mind, we'd come back again.

I'm on the road for business 3 weeks out of the month, and I've spent at least 15 days @ this Hampton so far in 2007. The staff is wonderful - one of the best Hampton's around. The breakfast can be crowded, but they never run out, and it's as good as any Hampton anywhere, and better than most sub $99 hotel breakfasts. The rooms are clean, and most have a fridge and microwave. The internet is free and fast. Security - there's a review on here complaining about a car break-in, and i'd certainly believe that could happen, however, I must say leaving a video camera on the front seat is something I wouldn't do in my own driveway, much less a hotel parking lot. I stay here alot, and I'm not worried about my car. The location is decent, right off the expressway, and there is a Fuddrucker's and a convenience store in easy walking distance. I would recommend this hotel highly to anyone looking for a nice value-priced hotel not far from Knotts and the Mouse...

We stayed from July 1st to July 3rd in a family suite. The room was good sized and was nice that it had 2 bathrooms. It also had a King bed and desk in one room and 2 full beds (not queen like their website says) in the other. The breakfast was good and did offer 2 hot choices along with the usual cold things and was very fresh. After a few hours there we realized the carpet by one of the sinks was soaking wet from a leaking pipe. When you ran the shower or the sink it got wetter and was squishy. We informed the front desk on our way out to disneyland. When we returned, I asked if anything had been done, and no one could tell me. So I was told they would tell someone again. To keep it short it was still leaking when we checked out, we told the front desk 3 different times and each time no one could even tell us if someone had been to our room to check. When we checked out the front desk girl said we should have been more demanding and demanded a new room. It was my fault for not asking for a new room. The rooms were very worn, carpet very discolored and even pulled and tearing. There was no air condition on the actual floors so the walk from your room to elevator is hot and the elevators are the slowest I have ever seen.

We booked our stay, many months in advance, only to arrive at the hotel and find they had our room wrong. The hotel was booked up so there was no way to change our double room into a family suite so we had to make do with 2 double beds and an AWFUL fold out couch! It was quite a disappointment. The hotel was not apologetic and merely blamed the online program. To top it off we asked for a wake up call and got none!

Because of Work related travel, I've spent 6 of the last 10 weeks here at the Hampton Inn @ Buena Park. The Staff here could not be nicer and more helpful. Anything that is within reason, they will do their best to help you with. As for location, it's a little difficult to make that left turn out of the parking lot when there is a lot of traffic, but the location otherwise is great. Very close to the theme parks and a bunch of good restaurants. Rooms are clean and the laundry machines (on the 5th floor) are relatively cheap to operate. The breakfast is hit or miss. Most of the time, it's pretty good with some great hot items (like eggs, sausage, ham, etc..) I'm not a big fan of their sausage gravy though. The gym is also a little misleading. It's not really a fitness center.... more like a small room that has a tv, treadmill, stairmaster, and a bike. That's about it. 1 of each machine. But I suppose it is better than nothing. :-D Over all, it's a great value.

location nice room the staff was friendly and the breakfast was great. our kids really enjoyed the pool.close to knotts berry farm and other areas we visit

I have stayed at several hotels in this area in the last few years. This hotel is the cleanest and safe-ist one around. They have free continental breakfast, clean rooms and a well lit parking lot. It's the best value in Buena Park.

Service was pretty good, breakfasts OK, rooms pretty clean. Had wireless Internet access that was fast. The double-queen suite was pretty big and comfortable. Typical mid-market hotel chain. HOWEVER - their parking lot is an EXTREMELY BAD PLACE to park your car. Our third night there--the day before we were supposed to leave, of course--we had our window smashed and DVD player, screen, and digital camera stolen. We got back from Disneyland very late the night before and neglected to scoop up the digital camera as we trudged up to our room after an exhausting day at the Magic Kingdom. Now, admittedly, we parked in the back of the parking lot on a Thursday night when the hotel's census is relatively low. In fact, there were no cars around us. And, hey, it's Buena Park and really not a spectacular neighborhood. I'll give you that. There IS a sign that warns you you park at your own risk. HOWEVER - the hotel's parking lot, we found out, has had several break-ins over the last number of weeks. In fact, the night AFTER we had our car broken in to there were TWO more theft incidents. That makes for three incidents in just two days. If that's not a crime epidemic, I don't know what is. Does the hotel warn you you may not want to park there? No they don't. Why would they? It's bad for their "image." Instead of providing service to their customers--like, say, a single late-hours security guard that could work a single shift patrolling the property or at least a decent security camera system, they brush it off and try to pretend like bad people don't prey on happy tourists like us. We park at "our own risk," consequences to the image of the property and our vacation memories be damned. This cavalier attitude is like watching someone urinate on your lawn every day then wonder why the grass is dying. The hotel's management proclaimed they "haven't had any incidents in a long time" to us when they found out we had been busted into. This was simply a lie unless they interpret "a long time" as any time increment shorter than 1 or 2 weeks. The Buena Park Police Department had a much different story. Break-ins are frequent in that lot. If criminals are having a nightly free-for-all on whatever vehicle suits their fancy on your piece of property you don't stick your head in the sand and hope the problem will go away. You don't lie to your customers about it. You FIX THE PROBLEM. Hilton needs to FIX THE PROBLEM. They need good on-site security. The police can't cover this lot all the time--though it is a part of their beat apparently. We found out that Buena Park, a city of 77,000, only has 5 officers patrolling on any given shift of a very large incorporated surface area. And the lot IS private property. If you're going to go to this hotel--and, to their credit, it's not a "bad" hotel--be very careful about leaving any kind of personal belongings in your vehicle. If you have valuable audio/visual equipment, don't bring that vehicle with you or at least don't park in the back of the lot EVER. Hopefully you have a good car alarm with a remote pager on it. This incident did not ruin our trip, but we wasted a whole day of our vacation dealing with the police, insurance company, and getting the glass replaced. All the items can be replaced, but we had a lot of great pictures from our digital camera stolen. Needless to say those can't be replaced.
