Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Downtown Santa Ana?
The best time to go to Downtown Santa Ana is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) months.

These periods offer pleasant weather, with moderate temperatures and less humidity, making it ideal for exploring the outdoor attractions and street art. You'll find it comfortable for walking around the historic streets and enjoying the various shops and eateries without the intense heat of summer.

For those interested in the local arts and culture scene, visiting during the first Saturday of each month is particularly good. This is when the Artwalk takes place, with galleries extending their hours, street vendors, and live performances, creating a lively option throughout the Artists Village and along 2nd and 3rd Streets. This is especially good for couples looking for a dynamic evening out.

Summer (June to August) can be quite hot, often reaching high temperatures, which might be less comfortable for extended outdoor activities.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Downtown Santa Ana hotel for you.

Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Booking an Expedia hotel and flight package is another great way to save, where bundling can result in significant savings. *Excludes taxes and fees.
