Residence Inn by Marriott La Mirada Buena Park
14419 Firestone Blvd, La Mirada, CA 90638, La Mirada, United States
3-star hotel
Guest rating: 4.1 / 5
Residence Inn by Marriott La Mirada Buena Park is an extended-stay, all-suite hotel set in the Los Angeles suburb of La Mirada, roughly a 4,800-meter hop from Knott's Berry Farm and about a dozen kilometers from the Disneyland Resort complex, including Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. This 3-star property is built around practical, apartment-style living: guest rooms feature full kitchens, separate work desks, fireplaces, and 32-inch flat-screen TVs with premium cable, while suites add a distinct living room area for extra breathing room. On-site facilities include an outdoor pool and picnic area, a fitness room, a business center, and coin-operated laundry, supporting both leisure travelers and longer stays. Complimentary perks are a notable draw, with a daily breakfast buffet, an evening social hour offering free beer and wine, free WiFi, and complimentary parking all included. Its location puts guests within easy reach of Southern California's major theme park corridor, from Knott's Berry Farm nearby to the full Disneyland Resort area -- including Downtown Disney District, the Disneyland Hotel, and Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa -- a short drive away, plus the coastal town of Seal Beach about 13.9 miles out. Guests consistently describe the rooms as unusually spacious for the price point. The combination of kitchen-equipped suites and theme-park proximity positions it as a base for multi-day Southern California itineraries rather than a quick overnight stop.
Best for
This hotel suits families and groups planning multi-day theme-park visits, thanks to full kitchens, spacious suites, and proximity to both Knott's Berry Farm and the Disneyland Resort. It also works well for budget-conscious extended-stay travelers -- business or relocation-related -- who value coin laundry, a business center, and complimentary breakfast and evening social hour to offset dining costs.
Travel tips
Plan on roughly an 11-minute drive to reach the Disneyland Resort area, so a car is the most practical way to get between the hotel and the parks. Book directly through the Marriott website rather than a third-party site, since at least one guest reported a reservation being cancelled without notice when booked through a third party. Take advantage of the evening social hour and breakfast buffet to cut down on meal costs during a park-heavy trip.
What guests say
Recurring praise centers on the size and cleanliness of the suites, along with friendly, attentive staff and a well-regarded complimentary breakfast. Several guests specifically call out good value for money given the full-kitchen suites. On the negative side, one guest described a reservation made through a third-party site being cancelled without notification due to hotel overbooking or maintenance, with limited accommodation offered afterward. Another reviewer reported an uncomfortable, slanted mattress and slow follow-up from management when raising the issue during their stay.
