Excellent location with great amenities and a very helpful, welcoming staff. A special shout-out to Aris, who went above and beyond to make sure my family’s stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, a great experience in Dana Point, and I would definitely stay here again.
Nice pool and jacuzzi. Decent breakfast. Room had a worn mattress that made sleeping difficult. Air conditioning unit was very noisy and didn’t cool very well.
There is a musty odor in the room and hallways, but that’s probably because it’s an older building and has wall to wall carpeting.
Overall stay was okay, it’s within walking distance to attractions and restaurants.
The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast was good. I was a little put off that they did not offer water. Only tap water. The air conditioning was great!
We had an excellent experience! The property is a little dated but it was affordable in an absolutely beautiful area. I’ve heard it’s going to be demolished to make way for a new facility. Honestly just wish they would choose to refresh this one. It has a rich history and is a sweet place to stay.
Rooms are a little out dated but I was given a great experience with the location and helpful staff.

There is a BIG CONSTRUCTION going on next to the hotel. The rooms were clean and okay. The showers are old. The breakfast was really good. I suggest you request rooms away from the construction. They charge for parking. Their website shows the way it use to be not how it is now.
Our room was great! Nice and clean with a partial kitchen!
We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Staff were friendly. We had wanted to upgrade but the hotel was full.
Drive over to the harbor for a nice dinner. Very quiet area and we hope to return.
For an older building, we had a great experience. The price was right, breakfast food was what you'd expect : eggs, sausage, yogurt, cereals, fruit, bagels and the extras. The guy refilling did an exceptional job at keeping all options available! The location is great and the bed super comfortable. Water pressure in the shower fantastic.
