Nice place, for last minute stay.

Last minute stay in the Santa Ana area, and we chose this place. Room was ok but the bed was hard and there wasn’t enough towels. No bath tub stopper either.

Wouldn’t stay unless it’s your last option.

To sum it up in simple terms, the place is disgusting. The bathroom was dirty and had hair from more than one person left all around the room. The chair/couch had questionable stains for a black light and the bed squeezed like a rusty wheel with the slightest movement. The housekeeper looked dirty and sat on the stairs for hours smoking outside my room. The staff is unfriendly and charged me $84 to check in 4 hours early. The nightly rate was $88 😡.

Big A Motel

Stayed here for one night being close to Honda Centre for a hockey game. Check-in was professional & lady at the check-in window arranged for our rooms to be close to each other. Older style motel with free parking. Room was basic & clean. Very spacious with a king bed , timber floors, table & chairs, microwave, fridge & ac. It's not fancy & I found it comfortable & room was reasonably priced. There are dining options nearby. Honda Centre is walkable , about 3 miles. Big A Motel suited our purpose fine.

Nice spot to stay in if you just need Quiet place to sleep. Staff was very friendly, and we appreciated that there were no surprise charges or fees when checking in. Room was overall clean and average. Good space, working mini fridge and microwave. Bathroom was still visibly a little dirty like hairs from previous stayers around and the shower is a bit small. Room smelled kinda old and weird, and the beds left us a little stiff and sore but you get your moneys worth. And if on a budget, we would stay there again

Great staff, rooms are older

Staff here is amazing and very welcoming, however this place could use a upgrade. Everything in our room was clean, it could use some more lighting in the rooms, and my tub had a little bit of mold. The bathroom had very tiny roaches that I saw in the middle of the night but we had food out in the main room where the beds were and no bugs anywhere there so that was good. Overall a ok stay.
