Clean, spacious and most of all well run. Fantastic complimentary breakfast buffet, clean equipped gym stocked with towels and water, clean refreshing pool, and a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. 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.
