The room was decent. The view of the harbor was nice but the place is a little outdated. I’d stay there again but other places are gonna be fancier and newer.
The staff was awesome! They were very helpful when we needed additional chairs in the common areas so that several ‘strangers’ could sing and play music together. Thank you!!!
The breakfast was good, but we needed vegan options (there weren’t many).
Overall a great location and perfect for what we were looking for. Will definitely be back!

The setting is very pleasant near the marina. It is very quiet and peaceful. The pool and jacuzzi were refreshing. The breakfast is good. The staff is helping.
Excellent location with great amenities and a very helpful, welcoming staff. A special shout-out to Aris, who went above and beyond to make sure my family’s stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, a great experience in Dana Point, and I would definitely stay here again.
Very friendly staff and generally clean facility. Convenient.

We stayed for 3 nights. The breakfast was pretty good . Price was good. But, we could not get our room cleaned , or even fresh towels during our whole stay even though we put the sign on our door handle to get it cleaned . Had to use wet towels after fresh showers.
Property is definitely showing its age. room was clean but old ,towels were hard to get and your key card rarely worked so you had to make multiple trips to the front desk. Great location close to Baby Beach
