Hotel Hacienda at Ontario Ranch

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Ontario Airport Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here for a week, and it was a great experience. I chose this hotel because of its good reviews, and it didn't disappoint me. The free shuttle to and from the convention center, Ontario Airport, and the rental car center was very convenient. I also appreciated the security staff checking room key cards at night, which made me feel safe. I would stay here again if I visit Ontario in the future."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ontario Airport

10/10 Excellent

"All of the staff is consistently amazing. I use this property to stay the night before my flight, they shuttle me to Ontario airport and I do not pay for parking. It makes travel so much easier. They will pick me up and drive me back to the hotel. I appreciate the staff so much as they are good energy people. Whomever is doing the hiring is SPOT ON!"
