What guests think

At Big A Motel, many guests praise friendly, helpful staff and a convenient location near the Honda Center and Angel Stadium, while reviews also describe a wide range of experiences from acceptable value stays to uncomfortable nights.

Cleanliness feedback is inconsistent, with repeated mentions of dirty floors, stained or thin bedding, odors, hair, and grimy bathrooms, though some guests report very clean rooms. Rooms are basic and dated but often spacious; common complaints include hard or squeaky beds and noise, with occasional issues like poor lighting, malfunctioning keys or TVs, or inadequate AC or hot water. Amenities are limited and supplies can be short (towels, blankets, toilet paper), and policies like an early 10:30 a.m. checkout or extra charges for bed type changes draw criticism. Overall, expect a budget stay with trade-offs in comfort and upkeep.

It was a nice room, the only thing I didn't agree with was the $75 charge to switch from a king size bed to 2 Queen size beds. They also need to put more than 2 towels and 2 washcloths in the room. They should also provide hand towels. Had to use wash cloth to dry hands after washing. I think they need to put a little shelf in the shower to put your soap, shampoo on. Had to set it on the shower floor. I felt the owners were friendly. I'd stay there again . I'd recommend it to family and friends. Convenient location. All in all a good clean place to stay.

This was a “bare bones” motel with absolutely zero amenities— not even a blanket, paper cups, or a chair to sit in. Not stocked well, not in good repair, located in a sketchy part of town, and just generally uncomfortable. The housekeepers, however, were very kind and friendly. I appreciated their optimism and willingness to haul a HUGE heavy heater up flights of stairs when the heater in the room next to ours (family traveling with us) didn’t work. This motel was a dive but it made it easy to leave in the mornings and at least the workers were nice.

Last minute stay in the Santa Ana area, and we chose this place. Room was ok but the bed was hard and there wasn’t enough towels. No bath tub stopper either.

The concierge was friendly and pleasant. The room was simple yet clean. Limited amenities, but good for a one night stay heading to the airport. Good restaurants within walking distance.

This property is not up to par. It’s upper hot in the rooms and ac barely worked and even switched rooms. Had to just check out 3 hours after I got there because the room was unbearable.

So bummed about this. We basically checked in got ready, went to our event and didn’t even stay the night. The hotel was dirty and cold. There was only a sheet and the thin little blanket cover in the bed. No blankets! It was cold and dirty. Waste of money

The staff was nice enough but the pictures of the property are misleading. Looking out the second floor room you can see the dumpster piled high with garbage as well as the surrounding area, the room seemed to be missing furniture and looked a bit empty. Walls were stained as were sheets, so not sure if the linen had been changed. The area itself was decent and there was plenty of stuff within walking distance and a 7-eleven just next door. I wish the shower had hot water but at least it wasn’t freezing cold. Not sure id recommend this place because the bed was uncomfortable and there was no box spring and I did not look at the checkout time which is usually 11am at most places but this place was 1030am.

The motel was okay. The first room we had been given we couldn't open because the keys didn't work. I had to go down to the office multiple times to tell the guy that key didn't work. Then he came up with a different key that didn't work either, only his master key worked. He let us into the room and he went down to get a key that worked but we got into the room and the tv didn't work at all. So he changed our room to a down stairs one which the key worked to but the tv only had the news chanel. The remote didn't work to change the channels. Over all the room was okay but we wont be staying there again.

Stayed here for one night being close to Honda Centre for a hockey game. Check-in was professional & lady at the check-in window arranged for our rooms to be close to each other. Older style motel with free parking. Room was basic & clean. Very spacious with a king bed , timber floors, table & chairs, microwave, fridge & ac. It's not fancy & I found it comfortable & room was reasonably priced. There are dining options nearby. Honda Centre is walkable , about 3 miles. Big A Motel suited our purpose fine.

Considering the area, I felt very safe during my stay. The only con I have of my stay was that the room was well kept but it did not feel “clean”. The furniture was dusty, there was a used soap bar in the shower, and the pillows were extremely yellow as if they were stained I brought my own blankets and pillow so I slept on top of those. There was also a distinct smell, like dirty sheets and dust. Other than that the service was excellent.

No surprises. Place has definitely seen better days, but it was reasonably comfortable and clean. The mattresses were a little on the hard side (for me), but they were in good shape. The bathroom was clean. The bathroom fan was very loud. The room heater made the place a comfortable temperature but with a consistent rattling noise. Our room had no lamps, just one oddly-colored light in the middle of the ceiling. Plenty of damage to the walls and ceiling, and the floor was pretty dirty. The fridge and microwave worked, and our room had a dining room table against one way — which was odd, but quite convenient for putting our things down. For the price (at the location), I’d definitely stay there again.

The guy at the desk wasn’t very friendly and my room was gross! Omg, I’ve never been in a room that felt this dirty and uncomfortable. The bedding was thin and I decided to sleep in my clothes to stay warm and protect myself from whatever may be on the sheets. The chairs in my room had stains and holes. The walls were dirty and the shower was so bad I decided to skip it. Would NOT recommend.

The customer service is excellent!!! They really helped to have a good stay, the only issue I could find that was a definite issue is the beds are way to noisy me and my gf couldn't even adjust ourselves without waking each other up other than the bed being very noisy to the touch the hotel is in a good location near the Angels Stadium and would definitely recommend for a good cheap stay.

Well. I like this hotel and been a guest here since 1996. But, I haven't been to the Big A since around 2002. I needed a place that didn't need a major credit card to check in. I stayed just to go to the Angels game. I checked in, paid the cash deposit and showered and went to the game. I came right back because I forgot something. Omw back to the room someone came running and yelling in a mad way, I explained I am a guest and just left something. In the morning I crap and go the paper and there is literally two squares. I called and asked if they could bring me any they said no. I asked if I can check out a couple of minutes late they said no. But I left my Torah accidentally and came back two hours later and they gave it back to me.
