Great place to stay. The people are very friendly rates are great. My boyfriend and I were out in the area for work and this is the ideal location for that. Fridge and freezer for food and my necessity an in room coffee maker... Not just your typical motel!! Always very close to bus routes and right down the street from knotts berry farm.

The room we got was clean and the beds were comfortable thank God no bedbugs. Disneyland was not too far. Only reason for the 4 stars is because it was a hassle to flush the toilet, we had to flush like 3 times and hold down the lever in order for it to work. But other than that I would definitely stay there again I don't know why so many people complain about it obviously it's a motel not a 5 star hotel so why would you be expecting something fancy especially for the price.

Love the price and the close driving distance of Disneyland. Rooms are clean but show their age. Mini-fridge, microwave and TV included. Beds are comfortable in my opinion. Overall is functional and cost-effective.

Tonight's Trip to Motel Moonlight was a delight. No Deposit Needed for checkin in. ID IS REQUIRED and of course The Cost of the room. All in all a very smooth process. I will definitely come back again when I'm in the area. Receptionist had a great vibe about her I felt very safe to spend the night here. As far as the rooms goes. The rooms are spacious. sheets were clean. No soap to wash our hands. But Very large restroom area plenty of room to get ready. The Air Conditioning worked and ran great. IF I HAD TO GIVE THEM A RATE 1-10 I WOULD SAY 8.

I just checked out right now from the motel. It was a pretty good motel to stay in especially when you have Knott's and Disney pretty close to the place. The room we got was relatively clean and spacious and no we didn't see no roaches or bedbug's. The receptionist was really nice as well though I kinda felt bad since he waited until like 1:00 in the morning for us to get there. The ladies that clean the rooms here were really nice and welcoming as well. All in all, I would definitely plan on coming back here.

Stayed this past weekend and I was pleasantly surprised. Very clean room; management was really helpful; price was fair considering it was booked last minute AND on a weekend. Area isn't great, lot of druggies walking up and down Beach Blvd so if that doesn't bother you then you'll be fine. That was the only negative with Moonlight. Overall, five stars and I would recommend it to my friends.

Had a three day stay for family Disneyland trip and would absolutely stay here again. The staff is great, the facility and rooms are clean and luxurious, and the location was perfect.

Old guy at the end of the building like to think he runs the joint. "I've lived here 9 years" isn't anything to brag about or is a thing that people respect. It's a motel after all. Get an apartment already... Other than him, I love staying here.
