Top hotels in Downtown Santa Ana
Hilton Anaheim
Check in was quick and easy. Staff were nice and helpful. We paid for pool view but unfortunately the view was disappointing as we’re were on the lower level and can only see a corner of the pool. Shuttle service to Disneyland was cheap but wait was long. Would stay here again but wouldn’t pay extra ...

Anaheim Majestic Garden Hotel
We really like this place! This will be our go-to for future trips. They offer early check in for a fee and they also offer to use their parking the day you check out if you want to go to the parks again. Saves you that parking $$$.

Grand Legacy At the Park
The staff were all very nice and helpful, they went above and beyond. The room was clean with comfortable beds. The pool looks bigger on the picture than it is. We didn't get to use it, no time. Being across the park is well worth it.
