Top Dana Point Preserve Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel

8/10 Good

"All of the staff were wonderful, helpful and very nice. Great location by the beach. Good for the price but not as clean as I would like, not sure if it’s just because it’s an older building or something else. Check in and out was easy. They did have a small store in the lobby but the prices were outrageous, $8 for a water bottle and $8 for an ice cream sandwich that was partially melted… Parking being $25 a day is also outrageous. Breakfast buffet was nice and so was the attendant he was keeping everything clean and full while greeting and chatting with hotel guest. I do wish the buffet was a little longer even by an hour. Also keep in mind the hotel is on the highway so you will hear cars all night. All in all the hotel was okay for the price, the friendly staff really saves the hotel."

Dana Point Marina Inn

8/10 Good

"The location of this hotel can not be beat. It is convenient to whale-watching cruises, farmers' markets, restaurants, museums, trolleys, walking trails and beaches. It is an older hotel and shows its age. It will be demolished soon, so I now understand why there have not been any updates. The whole marina is being redone. Stay here while the prices are reasonable because it may be out of your price range after. The staff was friendly, and the free breakfast was basic. The pool was well used. $15 parking each night is not a bad price."

Hilton Garden Inn Dana Point Doheny Beach

10/10 Excellent

"My daughter and I did a girls trip and we felt very safe our entire stay. It was nice having the underground parking as well. Had an AMAZING ocean view (when it said "partial ocean view", I was expecting a lot less... happily surprised!). We weren't in the room a lot, as we explored the beaches and areas around Dana Point, but coming and going was very convenient."

Stunning Multimillion Dollar Oceanfront -interior by Artist SPECIAL 2026 PRICES

10/10 Excellent

"The property was perfect and Jill, the host, is absolutely amazing. We have already booked again for next year because we were so happy with it. The views can’t be beat in the location, puts you walking distance, not just from the beach, but easily into town. There were plenty of linens, and the beds were incredibly comfortable as well. Great place!!"

Casa de la Ballena, back available on VRBO. Permit STR15-0329, walk to the beach

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed a wonderful stay at the property over the July 4th long weekend. It was cozy and comfortable and well stocked! Bob was very friendly and helpful and we definitely hope to be back- great experience!!"
