This property is the best kept secret in Southern Orange County. The rooms are very clean, sheets are crisp, beds are comfortable. The staff was personable and helpful. And you cannot beat the price.

The pproperty was very close to lots of good restaurants, grocery stores, retail stores and more. There was even a Costco just down the street. To most places, it was about a 6 min drive. Not close enough to places to just walk but syill very convenient. I loved that it was a pet friendly place. I did not have a pet with me but I saw plenty of dogs; and i was pleased to say that the property was very clean and very quiet. Definitely would stay again!

This property is right by a commercial railroad track. Because the property has not applied to receive a quiet zone residential status with the city, the freight trains are required by law to honk their horn three times while passing by the property. If you don't want to wake up at 3am to the tune of a freight train horn with tracks right by the property, don't stay here. The whole property shakes when a train goes by. The horn will wake you up.

Train hotel
This hotel is nice and clean but there is no disclosure of it being next to a train station that runs 24/7, it was so loud in our room if felt like it was right below us and coming and going every 20 mins through the night Also the room has a bad smell like someone smoked there or there were smelly pets or pee. This is not an 8.6, should be 1 * hotel due to this fact.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The tops of the cabinet drawers in the bathroom/bedroom were super dusty There was a pink film around the drains of the bathroom sink, shower area The faucet had a lot of soap scum. A lot of hair around the corners of bathroom areas. There was a kitchen sink but no dish soap. The pool was really cold The sidewalks badly need a good pressure washing. Lots of stains, gum and leaf's everywhere on sidewalks. The front desk staff gal over explained everything when asked a Yes or No question.

Not best value for price.
Found out we were charged the same rate as another family who also had five people but they had a two bedroom while we were stuffed into a one bedroom. They didn’t leave enough towels even though they knew five adults were staying in the room. Only did minimal cleaning. We had also stayed at other local hotels as our longer stay and felt this was the worst deal overall. Noise from road work topped the not so great experience. Don’t think we’d stay again.

Weekend get away!
Great hotel. Nice kitchen with everything you need to make coffee or have stuff in the fridge. Perfect location for going back and forth to Dana Point and San Juan Capistrano. Nothing is near the hotel within walking distance. So if you want to walk out and have restaurants or shopping this is not the hotel to stay in. We enjoyed our stay.

The hotel room is directly next to the train track which runs twice every evening past 11:00 pm. This made for a noisy, disruptive evening. When turned on, the air conditioner makes a very loud humming noise that cannot be ignored. The noise stops when the ac is turned off. Fortunately it wasn’t a warm weekend but I can imagine as soon as the temperatures go up, the ac unit motor is going to be extremely disruptive. Being on the first floor there is a view of Costco parking and no peek of the ocean as stated by the front desk. The rooms were clean, stocked with basic kitchen essentials like cups, dishes, and silverware, along with a full size refrigerator. There is complimentary breakfast served.
