Are there walking distance hotels that are decent near Knott's to save on parking? We only need one night (we are staying 4 nights at Hojo while visiting Disneyland) but would like a decent and clean place to stay.
To be honest, your best bet is to stay at the Hojo and spend the extra $12 for parking. It's only a few exits up north on the 5, then two exits over on the 91. It's very easy trip (10 mins tops). We did this a couple of times back in July during our 10 day stay and once again over this past Thanksgiving break. It's more inconvenient and time consuming to pack up your room, check out, check into another hotel, then unpack again than to drive over.
Even if you stay in a regular room at the Knotts hotel, Snoopy makes an apperance every morning and every night in the lobby and restaurant. He poses for photos and will sign their autograph books too. We also like shopping the little stores on the main strip of Knotts when the park was closed.
