This hotel was perfect location and walking distance to the beach and close to food and entertainment. 3rd floor had a weird smell but all other floors did not smell bad like 3rd floor
Very spacious room. Dog friendly. Good location for 5 minute walk to the beach. Small but fine swimming pool.Scrambled eggs and turkey meat patties for breakfast. Waffle maker great.
Right on highway Pacific Coast so lots of traffic. Parking charge is in addition to hotel. Had a fine stay.
Very good location, central to a great area of Dana Point. The rooms were spacious (2 bedroom king suite with balcony). Not “modern” per se, but very clean and just felt very homey.
This a professionally run operation. All staff are very friendly and helpful. The place is clean, room with balcony was quite large and very comfortable beds. Highly recommend…
