Top Santa Ana Zoo Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Orange County John Wayne Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We booked the room locally so we could take advantage of the pool and the air conditioning to escape the extreme heat at our home however the pool was closed. The manager was kind enough to offer a refund so we could book a different hotel with a working pool. We really appreciated that!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Orange County Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time. I was unaware that they allow animals and our neighbor next to us had a dog that would not stop barking for the 3 days we were there. Other than that the staff was great."

Lemon Heights Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is a nice little hotel and a great bargain for traveling through! First time was last Friday. The location, near gas stations and the resale shop is a bonus too."

Splendorous Style 2B1B Home Near Disneyland

8/10 Good

"This second-floor apartment is in a delightful old building within easy walking distance to downtown Santa Ana. Great for folks who can handle stairs easily. The decor is lovely and includes amazing paintings by the owner as well as an interesting selection of books. Beds are very comfortable and air-conditioning works well. The bathroom has been remodeled with high-end finishes. The patio is furnished nicely and even has shades.Because the building is older (probably built mid-20th century), electric outlets are limited, so guests might want to bring multi-plug surge protectors. We gave the place a 4 for cleanliness because the first thing we saw inside the door was a dirty dusting rag. Also, I spilled a bit of water on the bathroom floor, and the paper towel I used to wipe it up turned brown, like the floor hadn't been mopped. But the place was very tidy and uncluttered.The one major concern was that the iron railing along the very steep, tiled, outside staircase was very rickety. It wobbled like it would give way if anyone leaned on it. We were traveling with fit young adults, who didn't need to hold onto the rail - if we'd been traveling with older folks or anyone who needs the security of a railing, this would have been a disaster. The front door landing is tight, and if more than one or two people are standing on it, it feels like you could fall 20 feet to the concrete. I hope that this gets fixed, as it's otherwise a delightful place."
