Location, Location, Location & GREAT staff!

Location, location, location! I believe they are getting ready to tear the present Inn down and build a new state of the art Inn, as part of the Dana Point Harbour redo, therefore the Inn was not modern. Shannon, who checked us in, was wonderful and Diana, In charge of the wonderful breakfast included was also wonderful!
Mary, 2-night trip

Good for the location

For the tier of hotel it was a pleasant stay. The shower faucet was leaking, but room was otherwise very clean and comfortable. Could use more seating given room was large. Checkin staff was very nice and quick, but checkout took a lil bit of time.

Good spot!

Great location!! Easy access to a store if you need it. Also it was nice to be able to walk out to the marina at night. The location felt safe and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms are outdated and that might have added to them not feeling super clean. We were happy with our stay. We will definitely consider this place on our next visit.

Beautiful location, excellent service

Location is suburb for those who are planning to visit San Diego or the ferry to Catalina Island. The marina area is a must to visit; wonderful for runners or guests to walk in the park. Staff is very courteous and helpful with travel planning. Highly recommend for a visit to many beautiful communities along the Pacific Coast Hgy.

Visiting family and getting away from the heat

We were in Dana Point visiting family for the weekend. The hotel was clean, nothing exceptional. We brought our dogs with us. There are several areas close where they can do their business. The restaurants adding the Inn are very expensive, more than the typical California restaurants.
