California Suites Hotel

California Suites Hotel

8/10 Good
"At first look I was not overly thrilled but once we settled in our stay for the price was very nice. If you’re looking for an affordable hotel that’s clean this is your place. The hotel is a little on the older side but it’s clean and they take care of the property. My kids enjoyed swimming everyday in the pool, which was also clean. There are restaurants and shopping close by. A great brewery/restaurant a few feet from the property that you can walk to. They offered free ice cream, coffee and tea in the lobby."

10/10 Excellent
"Our 5 day stay at the Dana was awesome. The grounds are well kept and beautiful. The staff were all so friendly. The Firefly restaurant was delicious and so convenient. Being on a marina the views are amazing especially the stunning sunsets. You can rent bikes , kayaks and jet skis for a fee. The pools were refreshing. The rooms were very clean and they replenished the towels each day. Some say the rooms are outdated a bit but didn’t bother us. You’re on vacation, in the rooms to sleep. Our king size bed and the pillows were comfy . They have a free shuttle that took us to SeaWorld and back….that was cool. We loved our stay and had no complaints. We will be back again."
