As is often the case, the Residence Inn Santa Clarita is right next to another Marriott property, the Fairfield Inn. Both are found along The Old Road in the Stephenson Ranch district of town, next to I-5 - part of the last main lodging area before the interstate heads north into the undeveloped land of the Los Padres National Forest. The smoke-free, all-suite Residence Inn features 90 modern guest rooms that contain a full kitchen, an extra sofa sleeper bed, and separate areas for sleeping & relaxing. Other amenities at the hotel include a fitness center, hot tub, heated outdoor pool, complimentary full breakfast served daily, and a free evening reception. Some room packages include passes to the nearby Six Flags Magic Mountain amusement park.

The well regarded Fairfield Inn hotel in Santa Clarita, CA, provides comfortable, clean, spacious lodging at relatively low rates. The inn is quite a small building of 66 rooms, next to I-5 (exit 167) by the foothills of the Santa Susana Mountains, which border Santa Clarita and Valencia to the west. A short distance away are a large shopping center and the Vista Valencia Golf Course, though the most popular attraction in this area is the Six Flags Magic Mountain theme park, just 4 miles north. Guests at the Fairfield Inn can take advantage of free continental breakfast, a heated outdoor pool, hot tub and a fitness center (at the adjacent Residence Inn).

Santa Clarita's Comfort Suites is one of a small group of hotels along The Old Road, next to I-5 and just south of the main shopping center in town, at Stevenson Ranch. It makes a good base from which to visit the Six Flags theme park (4 miles north), or to explore north Los Angeles, being just 25 miles from Hollywood. Accommodation is in 101 large rooms, all containing a microwave & refrigerator; some have a whirlpool bath. The hotel serves free deluxe continental breakfast and has leisure amenities of an outdoor heated pool & hot tub.
