Hotels in Pomona, California at a Glance

Pomona has a mix of full service hotels, midscale chains, and budget motels. Four larger properties anchor the list: Sheraton Fairplex, DoubleTree by Hilton Pomona, Hilton Garden Inn Pomona, and La Quinta Inn and Suites. Comfort Inn and Motel 6 cover the lower end. Several small independent motels also appear on booking sites, but we could not verify them.

We checked each name against at least two sources where we could. Hotel pages often block automated readers, so a few details come from travel trade listings and booking sites. We mark every single source detail below. Call the hotel to confirm anything before you pay.

Sheraton Fairplex Suites and Conference Center

The Sheraton Fairplex stands at 601 West McKinley Avenue, Pomona, CA 91768. The Pomona Chamber of Commerce directory and Marriott both list the phone as 909-622-2220. Marriott shows check-in at 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. The guest minimum age is 21, and the hotel is smoke free.

Marriott lists all suite rooms with a mini refrigerator, a microwave, and a coffee station. The hotel has a heated outdoor pool, a whirlpool, a fitness center, and a business center. McKinley’s Grille serves farm to table American food with ingredients from an on site farm, and a lounge next to the lobby serves food from 3 PM to 11 PM.

Pets are welcome, with a limit of two pets per room and 80 pounds each. Marriott also notes an electric car charging station, subject to availability. The hotel offers no airport shuttle. Marriott places Ontario International Airport about 10 miles away. This is the best pick for Fairplex events and the Fox Theater crowd.

DoubleTree by Hilton Pomona

DoubleTree by Hilton Pomona sits at 3101 West Temple Avenue, Pomona, CA 91768. A travel trade listing gives the phone as 909-594-0600, with check-in at 4:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM. The same listing shows 132 rooms on six floors and 11 meeting rooms with 13,552 square feet of event space. The largest room holds 500 people.

We found no confirmed list of the pool, restaurant, or parking terms, so call before you rely on any of those. Older posts on the web, including our earlier version of this guide, praised an outdoor pool and a Californian restaurant. We could not verify either claim.

Hilton Garden Inn Pomona

Hilton Garden Inn Pomona stands at 2027 Rancho Valley Drive, Pomona, CA 91766. The Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce lists the phone as 909-686-8000. The chamber describes 149 rooms, a bar and restaurant called Garden Grill, a fitness center, and an outdoor pool and spa. The listing also mentions free parking, free Wi-Fi, and pet friendly rooms.

A venue listing on Cvent agrees on the outdoor pool, the whirlpool, and the on site restaurant. Cvent places the nearest major airport 12.1 miles away. We could not confirm check-in and check-out times. Ask when you call.

The hotel carries Chino in some booking site names. The address is still in Pomona. This property suits travelers who plan to visit both Pomona and the Chino Valley.

La Quinta Inn and Suites by Wyndham Pomona

La Quinta stands at 3200 West Temple Avenue, Pomona, CA 91768, according to hotel guide sites. Expedia shows check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out before 11:00 AM. Expedia lists a free breakfast buffet, a seasonal outdoor pool, a hot tub, free Wi-Fi, an elevator, and a 24 hour front desk.

Hotel guide sites describe 162 rooms and suites over four floors, a microwave and refrigerator in every room, and a location near Cal Poly Pomona. Both sources allow up to two pets of 75 pounds each. They disagree on the pet fee, and one source mentions a parking charge. Ask the hotel for the current pet and parking terms. We could not confirm the phone number.

Comfort Inn Pomona near Fairplex

Comfort Inn stands at 1421 South Garey Avenue, Pomona, CA 91766. A travel trade listing gives the phone as 909-618-1404. Hotel guide sites describe a small three floor property with 51 rooms, an exercise room, a breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and free parking. One guide places the hotel about 4 miles from the Fairplex grounds. We found one source for the distance, so check a map.

The sources disagree on pets. One says pets are allowed, and one says they are not. Call before you bring an animal. We also could not confirm check-in or check-out times.

Guests must be at least 18, and the card holder must show the booking card and a matching photo ID. The site lists an outdoor pool, free Wi-Fi, a 24 hour front desk, and a self service laundry.

The listing says pets stay free, with a limit of two per room. Only one source confirmed these details, so treat them as unconfirmed. Call the number on your booking confirmation before you travel. The property has no elevator.

Motels in Pomona and Properties We Could Not Confirm

Expedia also lists Travelodge by Wyndham Fairplex Pomona, Garey Motel, Super Inn, Pomona Inn, Heritage Inn, and a few other small motels. We could not reach an official page or a second source for any of them. We could not confirm addresses, current names, or whether each one still takes guests. One Expedia link for the Travelodge uses the name Lemon Tree Inn, which hints at an older name.

If you want a cheap motel in Pomona, treat these names as leads only. Call first, ask for the current name and the check-in rules, and read recent guest reviews. Never send a deposit to a number you could not verify.

Old Listings We Dropped

Our earlier version of this guide named Residence Inn Pomona Airport and a Deluxe Motel near a Route 66 landmark. We found no confirmed Residence Inn in Pomona on the hotel lists we checked, so we removed the name. We could not verify the old motel claims either. We also removed several attractions from the old text because we could not place them in Pomona.

Kellogg West Conference Center and Hotel sits on the Cal Poly Pomona campus. The university lodging page calls the property a limited service hotel and conference facility, with special rates for campus guests. The page lists no street address. Call 909-869-2222 to ask whether the public can book a room.

Hotels in Pomona near Fairplex and the Fox Theater

Fairplex hosts the Los Angeles County Fair, which usually runs in September. The grounds cover almost 500 acres. Outside fair season, Fairplex holds animal shows, racing, and other events. The Sheraton Fairplex has the closest address of the hotels we checked. Marriott lists Fairplex, the NHRA Motorsports Museum, and the Fox Theater Pomona as nearby attractions.

The Fox Theater Pomona hosts concerts and film screenings. Check local listings for show dates. If you plan a late night show, book a hotel with a 24 hour front desk. Sheraton Fairplex, La Quinta, and Motel 6 all list one in their sources.
