Top Lantern District Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Santa Ana-Orange Co. Arpt by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"All good!"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Santa Ana Orange County Airport

6/10 Okay

"Breakfast was excellent and definitely a highlight of the stay, and the staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming. That said, the rooms could really use some attention. They feel quite outdated, and while it’s clear there have been attempts to refresh things, the updates come across as more like quick patchwork than true renovations, fresh paint and flooring without fully addressing the overall condition. With some thoughtful upgrades, this place could be so much better."

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

6/10 Okay

"We didn’t have a great stay here for the $457 one night price. Old, outdated and notably in the midst of a major renovation. Our room did not have a working TV, phone, or AC. We asked for help from Lu immediately upon check in and had to follow up twice to have any help or resolve. A lot of the property grounds are blocked off, and it wasn’t very convenient to walk around the property in spite of the gorgeous surroundings. For the price, I wouldn’t return."
