Hotel was fine, we splurged for the suite and we were glad that we did to have the extra room. There was pretty much no view from the balcony so that was a waste of money, but they didn't advertise it that it had a view and it really wasn't that much more. Impressive breakfast for a hotel. No issues with anything. Conveniently located in Dana Point, close to the Harbor.

Friendly welcoming staff. A gift of bottled water & snacks is provided at check-in..Hotel parking is convenient and very reasonably priced. Plenty of dining options within walking distance. Room was clean & spacious with added bonus of new t.v.s in both main area and bath. Pleasant add-on was a deep jetted spa bathtub. Note- handicapped access is at back of building. Overall very pleasant experience for the price.

Arrived slightly after check in, only 1 room was available due to housekeeping being behind and was informed 2nd room would be 2 hours later.
The one room we did have was nearly out of toilet paper and soap and body wash was empty, so clearly housekeeping didn’t do thorough job on cleaning the one “ready “ room.

The rooms are clean, the staff is nice, the breakfast is great, especially if you have kids. You can walk to the beach and to restaurants and shops. I am planning to go back real soon.

Older property but they seemed to be updating it. Great location. The room smelled of stale smoke; sometimes the public areas smelled of marijuana. Housekeeping never made the beds or vacuumed the rooms; they only exchanged towels or took out the trash every other day or so. Our kid's feet were black after walking on the carpet..

There was a leak in the ceiling in the bathroom. It couldn’t be fixed right away, so they made a temporary repair, and comped us the room. By the time we left, mold had already started to appear in the ceiling. Besides that, it is a great layout and the location is great.
