“Worst hotel I have ever stayed at”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2009
2
people found this review helpful

when we arrived to hotel it took us 2 hours to check in.no paper work from hotel .com was sent to the hotel!! so this delayed our check in. We asked for 1st floor and we asked for a 1bed and was given 2 beds, asked for 1st floor and they put us on the 9th floor, my wife is handicapped.
The air conditioner did not work, the toilet did not flush, the beddings were dirty and the pillows were like sheets of paper!! the phones did not work it was static and the tv does not work it is analog!!!
motel 6 gives you more amenities than this hotel. What a shame!
Do not stay here unless your desperate and I mean desperate I would not even recommend a homeless person to this place.
nothing positive.

“spookiest hotel ever”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2007
2
people found this review helpful

I read all the reviews and figured that everyone was probably overeacting. Or really picky....but it really is as bad as everyone says it is. For starters it was better suited for a haunted house than a hotel. No doubt one of the creepiest places I have ever been to in my life. The elevator was squeaking and went by really slowly....pretty eerie. If your willing to pay a little more find something a little less run down and haunted.

“Welcome to the Hotel California!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2007

people found this review helpful

I wanted to stay here to save a few bucks and I truly wanted to see if the hotel was as bad as ALL of the reviews say it is.... and it was. I do not believe in ghost but it was very creepy at the Santa Ana Plaza. If I didn't know better, I would think this place was built in 1920's. Good luck to anyone staying there tonight!!

“A disaster”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2007
1
person found this review helpful

Hopefully, this hotel will not be around much longer. The faucet on the sink barely worked, the shower was too hot, and the desk attendant was asleep when I checked out at 5:15am. You can tell it was once a nice place, but it has been poorly kept.

“The only Hotel for it's price with a view!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2007

Santa Ana Plaza Hotel is the only one that has a view of the Ocain and motains.

It's the tallest hotel in the earea.
And for the price of a motel 6 across the street!

You can look down and see the Santa Ana Zoo!
All the freeways at night all the lights way from the noise.
You can even see Disneyland and the fireworks!

If someone would fix the place up they could charge alot more!
like $200

For a week they have $35 night.
