Top Santa Ana Hotel Reviews

Hotel Fera Anaheim, a DoubleTree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable nice rooms"

Hyatt Regency Orange County

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! We booked the kids suite and our family loved it."

The Maya

8/10 Good

"Overall this place was good. The restaurant Fuego definitely needs more staff to work the cafe as it took way too long to get our breakfast and drinks in a timely manner."

Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Izzy on the desk at check in was really nice, professional and helpful. The complimentary evening cocktail was lovely Hotel is clean, quiet, easy walking distance to Disneyland, they also utilize a fee shuttle to and from the park. Beds firm and comfortable, an assortment of pillows to suit your needs and fluffy towels. On site restaurant, breakfast was plentiful both mornings."

Hilton Anaheim

10/10 Excellent

"Look was great and the food amazing definitely be back"

Desert Palms Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"Clean room, great place. Wished they had a shuttle to Disney."

Best Western Plus Stovall's Inn

8/10 Good

"Hotel is fairly clean. It’s about a 20-25 minute walk to Disneyland but the downtown Disney security line is much better than the one off Harbour. The two pools are nice and the rooms are a little bigger than the hotels off of Harbour. Each room has a fridge and microwave. The negative is one of the ice machines wasn’t working and the others will run out by 8am. The restaurant next to the hotel, Finney’s, delivers right to your room and the food is pretty good and not too expensive."

Motel 6 Anaheim Maingate

10/10 Excellent

"The Motel 6 is convenient to everything we needed and wanted. The staff was very accomodating and ready to serve our needs. The age of the facility is showing but it was in clean and maintained condition. I remember it about 10 years ago when it was refurbished and things were fresh and new. So I have a point in time to compare it to and I know that to upgrade costs money but in this case it might be worth it to charge a bit more to get the accomodations up to a little higher standard."

MainStay Suites John Wayne Airport by Choice Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"Nice"
