What guests think

At National Inn Garden Grove, many travelers highlight clean, budget-friendly rooms, helpful management, and a convenient location near restaurants and area attractions, while others note the older property, variable room quality, and occasional noise from neighbors or the street.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed: plenty of praise for tidy rooms alongside recurring reports of stained linens, musty odors, bugs, and bathroom maintenance issues. Amenities are basic with generally easy parking; Wi‑Fi can be slow or unreliable, microwaves are often unavailable in rooms, there is no pool, and the ice machine requires quarters.

It’s quite a nice inn with a great price, the bed is much better than many inn we’ve been. The little fridge is cold, has all things needed for travelers like iron, hair dryer. The parking is plenty. The ice machine needs quarter to operate but the owner would give you if you don’t have. The wifi is available but slow. Our room on second floor has noise knocking from the ceiling may annoy someone from getting to sleep. Other than that it’s a great inn.

This hotel was a remodeled Motel 6 or Travelodge. The manager was pleasant & helpful. The parking was plentiful. The room was small…hardly enough to move around. Fridge but no microwave. The fan in the bathroom sounded like a jet engine & one of the overhead lights flickered. In room entertainment options were pretty limited…the most basic of basic cable only. The hotel is right in the middle of Koreatown so dining options were plentiful and varied in all price ranges (as long as you like Korean & Vitenamese food). There was a large oriental market across GG Blvd that had a small coffee shop (not a Starbucks) next door. The location was convenient to all major Orange County attractions & it was convenient to our destination. We didn’t really have any issues with noise. I thought the room was fairly priced & had the kind of amenities we expected. I’d stay there again.

They dont allow guests to your room. This is very good and keep most the lowlifes out. My room was quiet. Most quiet in this price range out of about ten places ive stayed. It seemed clean and safe and was a little beat up but nice for price range. I even took a bath. No microwave but a fridge.

A two-day stay in a Garden Grove location with two queen beds costs $150. This convenient location is near Westminster, offering easy access to the family's favorite Vietnamese restaurants (a significant advantage given the lack of comparable options in Las Vegas). The proximity to the beach is another benefit. Why incur excessive lodging costs when the room is primarily used for rest after a full day of activities? The owners are accommodating; however, the absence of a swimming pool and a 25-cent ice fee are minor drawbacks.

This place is a low cost motel, I get it. But cleanliness for instance should not be compromised for cost. Main reason for low review is because the place was dirty, women hair al over the floor, bathroom, etc.

The room smelled of mildew and feet when we walked in. The bathroom was disgusting with pee stains on the wall, tub still had hair and smelled so bad. The bathroom door didn’t close all the way and even the sink stayed clogged the entire time. I took the sink plug out to see if it would help and it had actual mold on it. I told the manager and he said he’d have someone clean it up but nothing was cleaned properly.

I was in room 205 and it was pretty dingy. Walls in the bathroom were dirty, the pillowcase still had some small old stains, really depressing dim light, run down in general. My sister was in room 206 which is about 300% nicer lol. We booked at the same time and the same kind of room, so I don’t really get what that’s all about. We had a super quick busy trip so I didn’t have time to see about switching rooms.

I’ve stayed at National Inn, Garden Grove, on a couple of occasions, and each time was great. I’m a small business owner, and I’m always on the look out for budget-friendly hotels/motels to maximize my travel budget. One big piece of my expectations is reliable internet. On this trip, the internet was not working, which forced me to find a place to work elsewhere. Overall, the experience was good, but the internet issue is something that’ll likely make me think twice before booking here again.

I pre judged this establishment several times , based off price, location, appearance from afar, traffic and reputation of nearby establishments with similar price ranges , even the dollar amount of the deposit and the script referencing the property “rules” when I first arrived both those alone had me certain I was in for an unpleasant and at best survivable experience… I’ve never been more wrong and more happy to be so. Staff was excellent and attentive what is obviously a husband and wife management team gave me and from what I witnessed EVERY guest a level of empathy, care, and attentiveness that I haven’t seen at even the most expensive of hotels I’ve stayed at. Will most certainly visit again. 10/10

I had a last minute training in Anaheim and found this place to be close enough and budget friendly. When checking in I called ahead due to some unforeseen circumstances. She was very accommodating, professional and very helpful. I never had an issue finding parking and found it to be quiet at night.

I think this motel is a little overrated. I usually look for rates above 7, but I would give only 6/10 to this one. The owner/receptionist was very friendly, and the check-in process was really quick. The mattress was comfortable, but the hotel is pretty outdated. They need to have some renovations. My main negative point is about location. The main street is extremely busy and noisy. I was waking up all night because some cars and motorcycles were speeding by.

Not sure what I was supposed to do with the coffee machine considering it didn't have any K-cups or cups. I never saw the room of the lobby that the picture shows, not sure if it exists. All that said, I was satisified with the room.
