By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, this is a sound booking if your trip centres on Six Flags Magic Mountain and you want a well-rated three-star with a pool, gym and listed breakfast options. It is our Best Value pick in Valencia, though in our November 2026 reference prices it cost almost exactly the same as our Luxury pick, so compare both before you pay.

The Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Valencia - Santa Clarita by IHG fits travellers who want a practical base near Six Flags Magic Mountain. The park sits about 1.7 km away, roughly a 21 minute walk on a straight-line estimate.
It also suits people who care about guest ratings more than character. The score is 9.0 out of 10 from 460 reviews, which tied for first place among the 6 properties we compared.
Skip it if you want a four-star feel or more space for the same money. Our Luxury pick, Embassy Suites Valencia, came in at a near identical nightly price. If saving money is the only goal, the Budget pick was cheaper.
Location and getting around
The address is 27501 Wayne Mills Place.
Two nearby points are listed. Six Flags Magic Mountain is about 1.7 km away (around 21 minutes on foot), and the Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom ride is about 1.8 km away (around 23 minutes). These walking times are straight-line estimates, not route checks, so the real walk may be longer and the route may not be pleasant on foot.
The data does not confirm parking, public transport or shuttle options. If you plan to drive, ask the hotel about parking and any fee before you arrive.

Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults, one room) put this hotel at €136.06 per night. The sample median for the city was €136.05, so it sits right in the middle of the market. These are not live quotes. Check today's price for your own dates.
