I recently stayed at the Holiday Inn Santa Ana for 3 nights. The hotel is well situated and close to the airport and shopping malls. The room was pretty good, but could do with a make over. However, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast good. Nothing to complain about (except for the slow and weak wireless internet), but nothing really remarkable or special. The staff are friendly and polite.

I recently was in Santa Ana on business and had a 9-day stay at the Holiday Inn Santa Ana-Orange County Airport. The hotel has a great location near the freeway and major roads, and it's possible to get to several nearby good restaurants and tourist attractions, as well as beaches, with minimal hassle.

The room was very clean and nicely appointed. The hotel staff was helpful and pointed us in the right direction more than once for restaurant choices. That said, we did eat at the hotel in the mornings and one evening, and the food was quite good.

This hotel is a good choice for someone who either is in Santa Ana on business or for someone traveling for leisure who wants quick access to a number of tourist-type attractions, but is ok with not staying right next door to those attractions.

We came in late to SNA and took the free shuttle to the hotel. We called when we were at baggage claim and just waited a minute or two for them to pick us up. The room was fine, beds were very comfortable. The hotel rooms are a bit dated. The door in our bathroom for example wouldn't close past the toilet and some of the wall outlet covers were broken. But the sheets, towels, pillows etc were all very nice and higher end. We slept well and had no troubles with noise as others have reported.

Breakfast choices were good. The kids and I had the buffet ($9.95/adults - $4.95 /' kids). My husband ordered a omelette off the menu. All were very good. Note that kids eat free at holiday inn, but that doesn't include the buffet.

We then took the free disneyland shuttle. I understand that it leaves at 9:00AM daily and it was the same shuttle van that picked us up at the airport. The ride to disney was about 15 minutes with no traffic on a Sunday.

While the hotel itself lacked the polish of a nicer hotel, the staff more than made up for it, from our shuttle drivers to the front desk to the breakfast folks. Our shuttle driver overheard my son say "I hope we are on the top floor" and when he came in he also checked us in and moved rooms without me asking.

I would easily stay here again on our way to disneyland.

This hotel was really nice and very comfortable to sleep at. The hotel picked us up from the airport by shuttle (parents be sure to ask for them to bring a carseat if you didn't bring yours), and took us to the hotel to check in and immediately took us to Disneyland. They asked what time we'd like to be picked up, and was able to pick us up fromt he front of the park. The hotel was very clean, and the bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've slept on at a hotel; very fluffy. I would stay at this hotel again, if I need to be in the area.
