Fontana Hotels: Where to Stay in California

Looking for hotels in Fontana, California? Start with the facts. We checked which hotels and motels sit inside Fontana today, which famous names do not, and what the major landmark nearby looks like now. Our old guide listed five places. Only two of them are really in Fontana, so we rewrote this page. Below you will find the hotels we could confirm from at least two independent sources, one motel we could only find in one place, and honest notes on every gap. We do not quote room rates here. Rates change daily, so check live prices before you book.

Hotels in Fontana: What Is Open Now

Where to Stay in Fontana: The Short List

Fontana sits in San Bernardino County, east of Los Angeles. The city has a small group of hotels, mostly along two freeway corridors. Two sit close together on Valley Boulevard near Interstate 10, exit 64. One sits on Baseline Avenue near Interstate 15, exit 113. One sits on Sierra Avenue. A Motel 6 also appears on Sierra Avenue in one listing.

This is a compact market. Fontana does not have a resort strip or a big hotel district. Most guests here are road trippers, business travelers, families visiting relatives, and people with events at nearby venues. If you want a long list of boutique stays, you will find more choices in nearby Ontario or Rancho Cucamonga. If you want a simple, practical base with free parking, Fontana works well.

Hilton Garden Inn Fontana

Address: 10543 Sierra Avenue, Fontana, CA 92337. Two sources list this address, a hotel directory and a major booking site.

Check-in starts at 3:00 PM with no listed end time. Check-out is at 11:00 AM. Guests must be at least 21 years old to check in, according to the booking site. Contactless check-in and express check-out are available.

Listed amenities include an outdoor pool, a 24-hour fitness center, free Wi-Fi, free self parking, a bar and lounge, and a restaurant called The Great American Grill. A hotel directory says the restaurant serves breakfast and dinner only, so plan lunch elsewhere. Rooms have a microwave and a refrigerator. Connecting rooms are available.

One source says pets are allowed, up to two dogs or cats. Another says the hotel is not pet friendly. Call the hotel before you bring a pet. We did not confirm a phone number from an official page, so use the number on your booking confirmation.

Comfort Inn Fontana

Address: 13500 Baseline Avenue, Fontana, CA 92336. The Choice Hotels page lists the phone as (909) 463-5900. A second directory confirms the address and the Interstate 15, exit 113 location.

The official page lists check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. A free hot breakfast runs from 6:00 to 9:00 AM daily, with free coffee. Guests also get free Wi-Fi, free accessible parking, a fitness center, an indoor heated pool, and an indoor hot tub. The hotel has an elevator, a meeting room of more than 1,800 square feet, and an EV charging station. Laundry, vending, and charging may cost extra. The property is smoke free.

An indoor pool matters in winter and on the hottest summer days. This is the only Fontana hotel we found with an indoor pool. Directories list the hotel as not pet friendly, so call first if you travel with an animal.

SureStay Hotel by Best Western Fontana

Address: 17133 Valley Boulevard, Fontana, CA 92335, near Interstate 10, exit 64. Three sources agree on the address. This hotel was the one our old guide listed as a SureStay by Best Western.

One travel site lists check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. We found no official page, so treat those times as unconfirmed. A hotel directory says the building has two floors and 60 rooms and suites, with no elevator. Ask for a ground-floor room if stairs are a problem.

Listed amenities include an outdoor pool open year-round, a microwave and refrigerator in every room, free continental breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and free parking with truck spaces. A travel site also mentions a free shuttle to trucking companies. The directory says the hotel is smoke free and not pet friendly. The travel site listing gives a reservations phone number of 888-407-3027, but we could not tie this number to the hotel desk. Confirm by phone before you rely on any listed detail.

Americas Best Value Inn and Suites Fontana

Address: 16780 Valley Boulevard, Fontana, CA 92335, also near Interstate 10, exit 64. Three sources agree on the address.

A major booking site lists check-in from 2:00 PM and check-out before 11:00 AM. Guests must be at least 18. The hotel has a 24-hour front desk. Listed amenities include a free continental breakfast, an outdoor pool, free Wi-Fi in rooms and public areas, free self parking, and self-service laundry. Rooms include a microwave, a refrigerator, a coffee and tea maker, a hair dryer, and a 42-inch TV.

The directory says the building has two floors and 50 rooms and suites, with no elevator, and the pool is open in summer. The booking site says smoking is allowed in designated areas. Pets are not allowed except service animals.

This hotel has the most useful walking list of the group. The booking site puts Regency Theatres Fontana 8 about a three-minute walk away. Kaiser Permanente Fontana Medical Center is about five minutes on foot. A Starbucks is four minutes away, and McDonald’s and Cardenas Markets are five minutes away. In-N-Out Burger is about nine minutes on foot. These walking times come from the booking site and we did not measure them ourselves.

Motel 6 Fontana (Unconfirmed)

One hotel listing site shows a Motel 6 Fontana at 10195 Sierra Avenue, Fontana, CA 92335. The listing describes a budget property in a two-floor building. We found only this one source, so we cannot say the motel is open today. Check the Motel 6 website or call before you plan around this stay.

Hotels Near the Former Auto Club Speedway

Many older guides send race fans to Fontana for Auto Club Speedway. This advice is out of date. The track held its final race weekend and closed on February 27, 2023. Demolition began in October 2023. The site address was 9300 Cherry Avenue in unincorporated San Bernardino County.

NASCAR planned to build a short track on the land. In April 2025 the commissioner, Steve Phelps, said the project was on hold because of high construction costs and other priorities. By 2025, about 433 of the 522 acres had been sold for warehouses and an industrial park. Reports from The Drive describe two large warehouses already standing where Turns 1 and 2 once were, while grandstands and garages remained at the time of writing. California Steel Industries still operates on the property.

The practical point is simple. Do not book hotels in Fontana for a race. No race is held here today. If you want to see the site, expect warehouses and fences, not a working speedway. If NASCAR announces a new track, check the official schedule first, then book.

Hotels Near Shopping, Dining, and Events

Fontana sits close to several big destinations. The Americas Best Value listing on a booking site gives these drive times from 16780 Valley Boulevard. Ontario Mills Shopping Mall is about 10 minutes away. Victoria Gardens is about 13 minutes away. Fontana Station is about 11 minutes. The National Orange Show Events Center is about 16 minutes away. Yaamava’ Resort and Casino is about 29 minutes away. Ontario International Airport is about 14 minutes by car, although another part of the same listing says 20 minutes.

These times come from one booking site and apply to this one hotel. Traffic on the Interstate 10 and Interstate 15 corridors changes the trip, so allow extra time at rush hour. For the other hotels, we did not source drive times and we will not guess.

The Hilton Garden Inn has an on-site restaurant and bar. The Comfort Inn serves breakfast. The two Valley Boulevard hotels offer continental breakfast. All four hotels list free parking.

How to Choose a Hotel or Motel in Fontana

Pick by what you need most. Here is a plain guide based on the listed amenities.

For a full-service stay, choose Hilton Garden Inn Fontana. Of the four confirmed hotels, only this one lists a restaurant, a bar, and a 24-hour fitness center. For a hot breakfast and an indoor pool, choose Comfort Inn Fontana. For a short stop beside Interstate 10, look at SureStay or Americas Best Value Inn. Both sit on Valley Boulevard and list free breakfast and free parking.

Drivers with trucks or long vehicles should ask about parking before arrival. The SureStay listing mentions truck parking. Travelers with limited mobility should ask about ground-floor rooms at the two Valley Boulevard hotels, because directories report no elevator. Families with pets should call every hotel first, since the sources disagree on pet rules.

Business travelers should ask about meeting space. The Comfort Inn lists a meeting room of more than 1,800 square feet. We did not find meeting details for the others.

Why Some Hotels From Our Old Guide Are Gone

We dropped three names from the old list. First, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel San Bernardino is in San Bernardino, not Fontana. Hilton lists the hotel as a separate property in San Bernardino, about nine miles from the Fontana search center. Second, we found no Holiday Inn Express and Suites in Fontana. IHG pages we found for this brand point to Ontario and Rancho Cucamonga. Third, Hilton lists Homewood Suites in Ontario-Rancho Cucamonga and in San Bernardino, but none in Fontana.

These hotels may still suit your trip. They sit in nearby cities, and a guest with a car can reach them. We just will not call them Fontana hotels. If you want more choices, search Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, or San Bernardino on the Expedia link above.

Getting to Fontana

Ontario International Airport is the closest major airport listed in our sources. One booking site puts the airport about 14 to 20 minutes by car from the Valley Boulevard hotels. Fontana has freeway access from Interstate 10 and Interstate 15. The Comfort Inn lists Interstate 15, exit 113. The two Valley Boulevard hotels list Interstate 10, exit 64.

Fontana Station is listed about 11 minutes by car from the Americas Best Value Inn. We did not confirm train schedules, so check with the operator before you plan a rail trip. Most visitors arrive by car, and every confirmed hotel lists free parking.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We compared hotel directories, booking sites, and the Choice Hotels page for the Comfort Inn. We also checked Hilton’s Fontana listing, Wikipedia, and reports from The Drive for the speedway story. Hilton’s own page for Hilton Garden Inn Fontana would not load for us, so we used other sources.

We could confirm the address of each of the four main hotels from at least two sources. We could not confirm direct front desk phone numbers for three of them. We could not confirm the Motel 6 from a second source. We did not state any price, because rates change daily.

Hotel details change. Listed hours, pool seasons, breakfast times, and pet rules can shift without notice. Before you pay, call the hotel and confirm check-in time, parking, and any fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Conclusion

The best hotels in Fontana are a small, practical group. Hilton Garden Inn offers full service, Comfort Inn offers an indoor pool, and the two Valley Boulevard hotels offer easy freeway access. Use the Expedia link at the top to compare live prices, and call any hotel to confirm details we marked as unconfirmed. Where to stay in Fontana depends on your route, not on a famous track, because the speedway is gone.
