Top The Ecology Center Hotel Reviews

Dana Point Marina Inn

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful trip and the staff are so friendly and helpful. The rooms need updating and it would be great to be able to access streaming channels."

Capistrano Coast House

8/10 Good

"If you’re like me and you prefer boutique hotels over big brands, this place delivers. Plenty of character adds to the appeal. Small room but the patio really extends your living space and was private. I was disappointed to learn that the restaurant/bar were not yet open under the new ownership. I probably would have booked it anyway for the charm and the location. Just up the beach from Dana Point and convenient to local coffee shops and stores within a mile."

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

8/10 Good

"I understand that this is a very high end resort and spa, but the fact there we received no forewarning that more than half the resort was closed off for remodel made our stay less than desirable. Staff was helpful and friendly. But the available amenities were not accommodating for the amount of guests present. For the amount of money paid this was not worth the cost."

@ Marbella Lane - 3BR Bliss w/ Golf & Ocean Views

10/10 Excellent

"The place was as advertised. It was clean and a very nice location. Great views. The bedrooms and beds were good. The furniture in the common areas just isn't comfortable or very functional. The large porch, which has a great view, would be so much better with some actual porch furniture instead of a few chairs - someplace to really relax and soak in the views - maybe even nap. The sofa and chairs are cool looking but not very functional. The home is not super well appointed as far as what you need during your stay - e.g. limited towels, only 4 forks, etc. The washer and dryer are in the garage. Overall, the location and view and property is great, it just needs a few additional touches to be perfect all around. The host was very responsive which was great."

Family-friendly 2bd Condo in Historic San Juan + Patio!

8/10 Good

"Great location, walking distance to restaurants, bars, shops and grocery stores. Check in and check out were simple and we had a nice stay. TV worked well and we used our streaming services. The place has a fully functioning kitchen. There is a community pool, but pool furniture HOA needs to replace the pool furniture as there were no lounge chairs and many regular chairs are broken. A couple things to be aware of are there is only parking for one car and street parking is not allowed unless you have a resident permit. Thankfully, we discovered that there is a "park and ride" about a mile away, where we moved our other car each night and picked it up each day. Also, there is not central air conditioning, which was not a problem for us because the weather was not real hot (mid 70s) the two weeks we were there. It would be uncomfortable in the second bedroom in hotter weather (mid 80s or above). Overall, we had a good stay, price was fair and location good."
