Actually felt like I blew it. I had other choices on my I-phone at about the same price. I just happened by here and wanted to get the room rental out of the way, Probably should have waited. Room was sufficient for a quick overnight stay.

I was flying in with kids 8, 5 and 16 months, and arriving late (10:45 PM). We were renting a van at the airport the next day to drive down to Carlsbad (for Legoland), and just needed a place close the airport for the overnight. I limited my search to hotels that had free airport shuttle. When I arrived I called for the shuttle. They said "we don't have a shuttle." After stating that thier site said they do, he said they don't have one "at this time of night." They offered to comp me cab fare. This is what we did. When I arrived, I pressed him a bit, and it turns out that thier shuttle drivers is "on vacation." That seems a little lame. They did, however, also comp the taxi back to the airport to pick up my rental.
The room was fine. A little dingy, but for "cheap near the airport," you have to kind of expect that.
If I fly in like this again (unlikely), I would probably stay there again, but I would verify the shuttle before hand.

I booked this hotel, I confess, because it was the cheapest place I could find in all of south-central Orange County. I wasn't expecting much, so I was delighted to find it quiet, scrupulously clean, and equipped with all the things I want: free Internet (why do "premium" hotels feel they can charge for this? Internet is Internet), free parking (see previous comment), a nice fridge to store supplies for the room picnics I enjoy, a good TV with a well-above-average cable lineup, a comfortable bed, effective heat and A/C, and plenty of hot water in the shower. For a hotel this inexpensive, any kind of breakfast would be a bonus, so I wasn't disappointed at the modest offerings in the breakfast room. They saved even a few more bucks, so who can complain? I didn't even have to buy a newspaper -- they were in the lobby. I disagree with a previous commenter who thought the furnishings were gauche -- they were just motel basic, not raggedy and kitschy, just unremarkable. It's close to the airport, but I heard only a few flights taking off, partly because the takeoffs were angled away from the motel, and partly because OC is zealous about not allowing taking-off jets to be noisy. They have to throttle back after taking off, and they don't fly late at night or early in the morning. This stretch of Bristol is bland, but only a few miles up the road are South Coast Plaza, one of the highest-grossing and fanciest malls in the country (nearby are theaters, music venues as well). Even closer is a pair of "anti-malls" that any younger person would find delightful; these are shops selling handmade crafts, organic and quirky food, amazing bicycles, cool outdoorsy wear, and more (one of these malls is called "The Camp," and it looks like a permanent village set up by the world's smartest hippies. The other, across a busy street, is called "The Lab," with similar goodies plus performance possibilities).

Anyway, you could do much, much worse, and you probably have, if you prowl for cheap rooms the way I do. This Travelodge was well worth it for the budget travelers.

This hotel was such a steal!

$68.70/night for a king sized comfortable bed (Run Of The House Rate on reservation) with a 42" LCD plasma screen tv (HDMI compatible for gaming and laptop), continental breakfast, and was only 2 miles away from food and the party we were crashing.

If you're rainbow friendly; the Tin Lizzie Saloon is around the corner and it's always gay night every night.

The room was so large roomy and comfortable we felt at home straight off the bat.I was here with my girlfriend and she was so impressed and so happy that this place turned out pretty awesome!
It's real close to the John Wayne Airport; has a laundromat; pool & jacuzzi (did not go swimming so I wouldn't know), and also exercise room.

Only gripe was that the internet was slow but it was available, the fact that the parking was only so-so, our room was right next to sewage (gross but did not stink so long as we were in the room), and the cleaning ladies were waiting on us to get out stuff out and check out. The front desk people are awesome!

Continental Breakfast:
Assorted Bagels, cereal, oatmeal, english muffins, apples, oranges, and bananas.
Drinks: OJ, apple juice, tea, coffee and milk.

Bathtub had a crack but it was obviously repaired in the past.

The best part was that when you book on a weekday you get 20% off discount on each night so if you book a stay for a Monday - Friday weekday. (includes weekends if you book with weekday stay)

Check in was at 3pm however if you're going to check in later leave it in Customer Comments; checkout was at noon.
