Dana Point Marina Inn
"Nice pool and jacuzzi. Decent breakfast. Room had a worn mattress that made sleeping difficult. Air conditioning unit was very noisy and didn’t cool very well. There is a musty odor in the room and hallways, but that’s probably because it’s an older building and has wall to wall carpeting. Overall ..."

Beachfront Inn and Suites at Dana Point
"The place was nice overall, but my experience was just okay. Unfortunately, there were quite a few ants and a lot of mosquitoes in my room, which made the stay uncomfortable. It wasn’t a terrible experience, but definitely something that could be improved."
