Hotels in Santa Ana, CA

Santa Ana is sometimes overlooked when considering places to go in California. A short drive from Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, as well as Knott's Berry Farm, there are some great Santa Ana hotels, offering central access to the surrounding attractions. The Historic District is a fantastic, must-see neighborhood. The area known as Midtown offers its own unique cultural experiences and hosts the Discovery Science Center. Midtown also offers the most frequent and reliable public transportation. Cheap hotels in Santa Ana make it an affordable getaway destination and a perfect hub from which to enjoy a trip to Disneyland. Public transport is a bit more specialized, with areas like Riverview and Portola Park offering more reliable bus services. Tour groups and smaller taxi services offer package deals on private and group transportation. Although there are adequate means by which to get around, such as public buses, one will usually benefit from finding a hotel in Santa Ana that is centrally located. There is a trolley that follows the central districts on Mondays and Tuesdays, which is free. As a general rule in Southern California, it is recommended to rent a car to get the most accessibility to the surrounding sights.

For most people visiting Santa Ana, they are either there as part of an outing to Disneyland or other nearby attractions. Booking a Santa Ana hotel closer to the town proper, such as the Avenue of the Arts Boutique hotel, will make it easier to partake in the vibrant life this unique city offers. Should you be visiting with family, you will find cheap hotels in and around the Midtown area, such as the Travel Lodge Inn, very accommodating. When visiting with small children, you may prefer to avoid the Civic Center neighborhood as this is a lively area with an active nightlife and opt for the DoubleTree by Hilton. Worth noting is that Santa Ana ranks as the fourth most densely inhabited city in the United States, meaning there are very few options available for ground floor accommodations, and as such, all the less likely to find pet-friendly locales.
