"Located halfway between Tustin and the Orange County Airport. Good rates. Clean hotel with modern amenities and good-sized rooms. Our room was missing a chair, but a housekeeper brought one from another room. The TV didn't work until we jiggled the power cord. Excellent hot breakfast in an inviting dining area. Ask for a room away from the highway.2017-03-09"
"Perfect hotel stay. The room was clean, and the staff was extremely friendly. Book here without hesitation.2016-05-25"
"Close to the highway and many attractions. The hotel was nice, clean, and quiet. I had to ask for a refill of coffee amenities each night. No breakfast provided. Parking could be an issue since the lot was small.2022-09-04"
"The hotel was pretty run-down, and it was right next to the noisy freeway. The person in the room next to mine blasted their TV at 3 AM, but security did a good job of taking care of it. The soundproofing was poor.2021-05-02"
"Good value. The hotel room was clean and nicely furnished, but it was a stretch to call it a suite. Breakfast was completely unsatisfactory; tepid powdered eggs and flavorless sausage doesn't cut it.2022-06-26"
"The fridge in my hotel room didn't work correctly. The cable TV was very basic. No eggs at breakfast.2022-06-06"
"The hotel was a few miles from the airport. No daily housekeeping, and towels weren't replaced. The employees were friendly enough. Breakfast was marginal at best and had to be eaten in the room.2022-03-27"
"An adequate hotel for an overnight stay. No airport shuttle.2021-10-26"
"Worth the price. Awesome hotel room. It was huge, comfortable, and had a kitchenette with everything we needed. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The night staff was extremely nice; they greeted us and talked to us about our stay, and were funny, caring, and helpful. Nice breakfast with make-your-own waffles. We had a great stay.2017-04-06"
"Great hotel with professional employees and a smooth check-in process. Nice breakfast buffet. Highly recommend.2016-05-10"
"The door didn't shut all the way, and the room was a bit dirty. No ice available at the motel. Don't stay in Building D.2017-03-14"
"Affordable price that included our dog. The room was fresh and clean, and right next to a great walking trail. Good restaurant across the parking lot, and close to the ocean. We'll definitely come back to this motel.2015-03-22"

"Convenient to a major highway and the airport. The room was a disappointment. The mattress wasn't comfortable, and the pillows were in poor condition. The AC was loud. The soap and conditioner dispensers in the shower were empty. On a positive note, the staff was friendly. Parking wasn't free. I don't recommend staying here.2019-07-11"

"An excellent experience. The room was large, immaculate, and comfortable. Good check-in and nice hotel clerks. They replaced our broken coffee pot promptly. We enjoyed the pool and whirlpool, and breakfast was amazing. I'll be back.2021-11-15"
"A busy hotel. The room and bathroom were small, and not all rooms had a fridge. The beds were comfortable but quite soft. Plenty of hot water, which was nice. There was a lot of street noise, so consider asking for a room on a higher floor.2020-02-10"
HotelGuides made it easy to choose a hotel based on how far we wanted to get that day. Also liked being able to see the interstate interchange on the map to determine how far off the highway each hotel was.
We order the hotels on this page by how close they are to this attraction.
Most of our competitors order these same hotels in other ways that make them more money.
How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
