Top Santa Ana Zoo Hotel Reviews

MainStay Suites John Wayne Airport by Choice Hotels

8/10 Good

"Hotel was very clean and cute inside. Staff needs some training on greeting customers and making guests feel welcomed. Young lady up front barely cracked a smile and provided minimal direction on anything. Sounded like she was a robot or reading a prompt. Not the friendliest."

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."
