Santa Ana hotel guide. Red Lion hotel in Santa Ana, California

"The property was great and the pool was even better."

"This has become my new favorite hotel! The minute you walk into the lobby you are hit with a great fragrance that I need to discover so I can get it in my house too! Smells wonderful. There is an amazing retro bar and large seating area with retro 50's style furniture! It is so clean everywhere and the location to Disneyland and other places can't be beat! I have stayed at almost every hotel on that strip and this rivals the Disneyland hotel for cleanliness and staff friendliness. I love the mid century modern vibe too. Like stepping back in time to another era. After 4 stays at the hotel in the last 6 months, each stay was just as good as the last. The beds are very soft and comfortable. Everything is very clean in the room. I have walked in on the maids twice and seen them mopping floors and cleaning all tabletop counters. I have NEVER seen that at another hotel and I am so impressed! There is some cosmetic wear in the bathrooms due to the age of the hotel, but other than that it is perfect. The pool area is huge and well attended. Giant inflatables float around and look great. There are multiple gathering areas throughout the grounds that have fun activities like a giant chessboard in the grass, a hammock strip for lounging, a giant lamp and fountain gathering area, a workout room, a Pizza restaurant, gift shop and so much more. You can see and hear the fireworks at night too. The price is so affordable. Love it! "

"We chose Tropicana Inn for its location from Disneyland and it did not disappoint. We basically just walked across the street and were at the parks! The hotel was very clean and safe. The staff were all super friendly and helpful as well. My daughter even forgot her jewelry box and the hotel staff called me as soon as it was found by housekeeping. They didn’t hesitate in telling me that it’s not a problem and they would ship it right away. Now that’s A+ service!! I would definitely recommend staying and will again if in area. "
