"I would not rent this place!! It’s not accurate with the description that you see on VRBO. The location was not desirable. There was street car racing and Cops everywhere on the streets. It took forever get hot water in the shower. The sofa bed mattress was not comfortable to sleep on either. There was a DJ below the unit that that played music from 6-10. That was not mentioned on the VRBO site. I would definitely think twice before renting this unit."

Top Santa Ana Hotel Reviews

Hotel Lulu, BW Premier Collection

8/10 Good

"Good hotel choice for Disneyland. Hotel is clean, staff are very helpful and the location is great! Short walk to the parks. The water pressure is excellent and temperature got hot quickly which we appreciated. This is my 3rd time staying at this hotel and this time, we found our mattresses to be worn out but we haven’t had that before. This is my first time when they had a shuttle to the parks. It was good in theory but you couldn’t always use it bc it would be full since it serves other hotels too. Also a hot tub would be a great addition. Overall I will go back to this hotel for sure!"
