Orange Count

Located minutes from the airport, all of the hotels offer a shuttle service to and from, and many are complimentary with room reservations, as well as most offer some sort of shuttle service to the Disneyland Resort area. These are some of the few locations in Orange County where you can get free shuttles to both the airport and the area’s most popular attraction Disneyland.  This value alone can save families enough money to get a few more souvenirs and things at the park.

Best Western Orange County Airport is one of the hotels located on Hotel Terrace Drive, and is a 3 diamond hotel that offers not only a complimentary breakfast, but a full breakfast with both hot and cold foods.  Travelers coming into this hotel will be getting one of the best values in Orange County as they are one of the only locations that offers both a free shuttle to and from the airport, as well as a full cook-to-order breakfast with hot foods.  There quality is top-notch and they have an outdoor atrium style with a nice pool area, fitness room, and jacuzzi, which gives  any traveler all the amenities they could ask for.  Best Western Orange County Airport meeting center boast two large meeting rooms that can hold up to 100 people in certain styles, as well as some smaller rooms for meeting and functions that can be booked through their sales department.  A 3 diamond hotel that offers all of this must be expensive, but unbelievable, they are fairly valued around $100 per night or less depending on various discounts for AAA, or corporate travelers, and this makes them one Orange County Travel most recommended hotels.

Orange County’s Top Attractions:

1. Disneyland Resort – Including Disneyland, California Adventure, & Downtown Disney:  This is pretty much one of the premiere attractions in the world and you’ve got it all in one place.  Disneyland is one of the country’s icon parks and in recent years the additions of California Adventure and Downtown Disney have made it all the more better.  Downtown Disney is home to places like the House of Blues, Build-A-Bear, World of Disney, and more.
2. Knott’s Berry Farm – Including Knott’s and Soak City: Knott’s is the first theme park in the country still has many of the old themes and attractions still around.  However, the last owned family theme park in the country sold out a few years back and with Cedar Fair running it, they’ve build it into one of the best ride and fun parks around.  You can get big roller coasters and as well Camp Snoopy all in one place.  Great for families, teenagers, and couples.
