Welcome to Grand Inn

Nestled conveniently off Interstate 10 at 118 E Hellman Ave, this modest hotel offers easy access to iconic destinations such as Disneyland Park, just 27 miles away, and The Huntington’s art galleries and gardens a short 6-mile drive.

Guests consistently praise the cleanliness and cozy atmosphere that the Grand Inn provides. While the decor leans toward traditional rather than modern, the warm ambiance and attentive staff create a genuine sense of hospitality. Visitors often highlight the thoughtful touches, including complimentary bottled water, toiletries like toothbrushes, free Wi-Fi, and a light breakfast that make guests feel truly at home.

I was very pleased with this hotel. The price is very reasonable compared to others in the area. My room was very clean and well maintained. The bed and blankets were very comfortable. They had two bottles of water and toiletries including a toothbrush. There is a refrigerator in the room and the microwave in the lobby. It is not the most modern hotel but it is very cozy and very clean and very comfortable. The parking situation is very good. There was coffee and snacks for breakfast. The front desk was very friendly, especially Mary!

I was immediately greeted by Mary upon entering reception area. She was so kind and incredibly considerate. I traveled alone on this trip and she was mindful to put me on the third floor which was appreciated. The room was clean, comfortable, and provided me with the amenities needed for a one night stay. At check out, I was taken care of by William, who was just as friendly. Great location, affordable room, close to the freeway, and amazing staff! I would definitely stay here again! Thank you all for making my stay memorable!!!

Staff was very kind and friendly and the location was great. Rooms are a bit dated and our bathroom was a little dirty but we only stayed for one night so it didn't bother us too much. Hotel and the parking lot feels nice and secure and most importantly quiet! For the price this is a good place to stay and we'll definitely come back next time we're in the area.
