    Staff was excellent--they let me check in slightly earlier than time. The room was clean and well maintained in general, but the shower drain smelled a bit. This could be contained by placing a lid on it (I used a small trash basket). Breakfast came with variety. Parking was convenient.

    It had all the possibilities to be amazing, adequate gym equipment, a pool, and laundry facilities. But as soon as you walk in you can see the place has not been kept up. The floors are dirty and stained throughout, the gym equipment has possibly never felt a wet rag, there are no supplies to wipe down the equipment after each person’s use, there is no coin machine on the premises even though the laundry equipment only takes quarters, and the windows are poorly insulated so you hear traffic all day and night. It was really a low quality place.

    Shampoo and soap in the room was heavy on the fragrance. That and the poor ventilation in the room was really making my allergies pretty bad. Breakfast also ended way too early at 9am, and at 9am is also when the crew decided to flush both the coffee makers with a blue cleanser for the next 30 mins. Can't say I felt like drinking coffee right after seeing that. Other than that the room was fine, and the staff was nice enough.

    Our room was on the top floor and was clean, spacious, and equipped with a fridge and microwave — a nice touch. The only downside was that the air conditioning didn’t cool the room as much as we’d have liked. Breakfast over the weekend included biscuits with gravy, a vegetable omelet, and a cheese omelet. The food was good, though I would’ve loved to see some bacon or sausage as well. Despite the minor issues, I’d definitely consider staying here again.

    Staff at check in is so rude. Daren either had a bad day or he is unprofessional by nature. His manager Adriana is not much better! We couldn't believe a staff in Holiday inn would act this way. I will take my business and money to where I'm respected.

    I had terrible experience at check in with rude and unprofessional staff (Daren) while the other agent was great. When I brought this concern to the manager (Adriana) she was very indifferent and acted as if nothing has happened. I can't understand how a hospitality business would have people like these represent it!

Also, the facility had a laundry room for guests open 24 hours, very convenient for extended stays. The location of the hotel was great very close to I-5 highway. Breakfast was very good with a good choice of breakfast foods. Hotel staff was very friendly and always nice and helpfull. Overall, great experience at this location.

    We asked the room to be cleaned and when the woman came to clean, she just came in and dumped the trash, so my wife asked her to change the bed sheets and she rolled her eyes and let out a frustrated sigh, and proceeded to aggressively change the sheets! She did not even wipe anything down in the bathroom or counter area by the microwave! and she did not have gloves on at any time.

Especially given the dive hotels on the same block and the neighborhood being a bit sketchy and filled with homeless challenges, if you're staying in this immediate part of Santa Ana this is the property you want to stay at.

    Great, renovated hotel. Friendly and helpfull staff. I felt safe in a not so great area of Santa Ana. They have security and you need a room key to access literally anything on the property, even the lobby bathrooms, which was nice. The complimentary breakfast was great, lots to choose from and good tasting. Only thing my kids complained about was no jacuzzi and I could have used some stronger coffee ;) But those are more preferences than complaints.. I’d stay here again if we ever had the need.

    Breakfast was not good! Eggs, oatmeal, even coffee were lukewarm and there was no microwave to heat them. No bacon or sausage, just burnt biscuits with cold, lumpy sausage gravy. An event facility next door used up all the parking and we parked in a far part of the lot next to several people living there and fighting w each other, which felt unsafe. People from the event were coming and going in the parking lot outside our room all night, until well after 2:00 a.m.

    However, it seems like they may have a bird problem on the property lately. There is bird excrement all over the balconies and every morning we are awakened early by very loud birds. Also, if there is an event next door at the event venue, parking is also non existent which is a little frustrating.

    No way to vent room, patio door didn't open purposefully. After 3 showers room was extremely humid and hot, A/C wasn't helping. Sink faucet was sticking and so hard to operate my 10 y.o. son needed help. The back doors to the property are not keyless entery, but anyone with a small amount of dexterity can jump the short wall in the back. Security advised I park in a more visible spot due to theft / break-ins. I was about 15 spots down from front of the hotel. They do have HBO though. No hot tub either. Older facade / interior. DND sign hung on door, housekeeping still tried to enter without knocking as we were checking out.

    The price per night was reasonable, but the breakfast was disappointing. There was not even a sausage. The place doesn’t seem to be well maintained, and the floors in the common areas are noticeably dirty. Room looks new and clean, bathroom though was weirdly built. The sink was too far to reach. Laundry area was on the 10th floor only, will take you a trip in doing your laundry. Overall, you get what you paid for but won’t be staying here again that’s for sure.

    2 night stay for business. Staff friendly, hotel clean, room nice and bed comfortable enough. Unfortunately a very loud hotel. Location can be loud and walls very thin. Also booked this hotel because of the balcony and didn’t realize they have all the doors locked so you can’t open them. Being stuck in the room working was a bit stuffy, would have liked to have the breeze.

    We have stayed at this property several times, and each time it gets a bit poorer. The breakfast now is simply terrible! Oatmeal mush the is mostly watery gruel instead of mush; orange juice that tastes very funny, like it hasn't been kept frozen before use; hard boiled eggs no longer available; scrambled eggs that taste like something besides eggs; coffee that isn't hot, and is bitter. It is like the breakfast is not a matter of importance to this hotel's manager!
