Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Santa Ana
For the majority of travelers, John Wayne Airport (SNA) serves as the primary gateway, conveniently located within the city of Santa Ana itself and handling both domestic and international traffic. It offers the most efficient and cost-effective ground transport options for reaching the city center. Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) is situated in the neighboring city of Burbank and is often a favored domestic alternative, providing rail connectivity though requiring significantly more travel time. Ontario International Airport (ONT), located in the neighboring city of Ontario, manages substantial regional and cargo traffic but remains a further drive from Santa Ana. Both McClellan-Palomar Airport (CLD), in the neighboring city of Carlsbad, and Van Nuys Airport (VNY), in the neighboring city of Los Angeles, serve niche regional and general aviation needs rather than major commercial routes, often necessitating private or premium ground transportation for arrival in Santa Ana. Travelers should prioritize convenience and total transit time when choosing between these hubs, as traffic in Southern California heavily influences road-based transit options.

This is the most cost-effective hotel I have stayed at during my recent business trip in the United States. There are many hotels around the hotel. The overall area is quiet and safe. The environment is very good and the facilities are new. They are cleaned every day. The most important thing is that hot water is provided for breakfast! ! I will stay here again next time I come.FromUS$104

Hotel in an excellent location in relation to the airport and Irvine, CA but the room was really bare and run down. At least the 6th floor was with rust/dirt at the bottom of the bathroom entrance and dirty spots where items had been spilled on the carpet and not cleaned before I checked in. Love the hotel outside the room!!FromUS$123

There are many restaurants or fast food restaurants nearby. There is no washing machine or dryer available in the store. You need to go out to wash your clothes.
Parking fees need to be paid another $34/day, unlike Taiwan, parking and accommodation are included, maybe the US consumption is different.FromUS$119

My first impression walking into the lobby, many people eating outside food and drinking in front of the front desk. Overall seems like the carpet in the hallway is new install, room is clean but the sofa is a little bit old, bathroom towel can be upgrade to better quality, body wash gel is empty, coffee machine seems like a long time nobody used kinda dirty.FromUS$144

The bed in the hotel is very comfortable, with moderate firmness. The parking fee is 15 US dollars per night. The location is quite close to the business district. The main reason is that the price is relatively affordable compared to surrounding hotels. The hotel does not include breakfast, so you need to purchase it yourself.FromUS$137

I have stayed at this hotel several times. As expected, it is starting to show signs of aging. There is a kitchen, large refrigerator, pots, frying pans, and tableware in the room, so you can eat in your room. However, if you are staying by car, I think the location is very good. There are multiple freeways, and a large shopping mall is a five-minute drive away. Considering the cost of accommodation, I will continue to use it for a while longer.FromUS$122

The location of the hotel is easy to find. I drove here from the Los Angeles Airport car rental navigation. The parking fee is cheaper than other nearby hotels. There is a small garden in the backyard of the hotel, a resting place, and a gas fire for the stove at night (see the first photo); the hotel The lobby is not big, but the layout is warm. Although it is a hotel of a certain age, the facilities are well updated and maintained. After staying for two nights, I was assigned to the second floor. The floor-to-ceiling windows are close to the hotel parking lot, and the privacy is not good; I didn't have breakfast at the hotel, so I can't comment.FromUS$142
