This hotel is located right across from the beach. My room was spacious and had a full kitchen. I had some issues with my cable box, but the staff was able to resolve them. My room was on the backside of hotel and I was above the laundry room which wasn't the best, but other than that the room was great!

Everything about this stay was fantastic, the only downside of our stay was that we only booked for a couple of nights. The staff were all so sweet and the area is fantastic. I am almost hesitant to leave this review because I want to keep this a secret, because we will absolutely be returning and for a longer stay next time!

Great stay for our quick trip. Loved the free bikes for touring Dana Pt , good access the beach, but you have to walk across a pedestrian bridge over the train tracks- not as bad as it sounds. Price was high, mainly due to the music festival. Room was clean, cozy and nice to have a full kitchen.

Fantastic customer service and beautiful place!

We stayed here because we were meeting up with family. The people at the front desk were not only very professional, but very accommodating. They gave us a room next door to our grandkids which made it so much fun! My husband is disabled and they were so kind and understanding in little ways that made a big difference. Our unit was immaculate, with everything we needed, including kitchen furnishings. The pool and spa were lovely and well kept. Thanks for a great experience!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
The room was wonderful—clean, comfortable, and exactly what we were hoping for. One of the biggest highlights was how close it was to the beach. However, it’s worth noting that while the beach is only steps away, you must cross the railroad tracks using a pedestrian bridge. This requires climbing three flights of stairs up and three flights back down. My husband didn’t have any trouble with the stairs, but I found them challenging, so guests with mobility concerns should keep that in mind. The beach itself was much rockier than we expected. It wasn’t a good fit for young children, and because of the rocks, we didn’t even take a walk along the shore. If you’re looking for a sandy beach where kids can easily play, this may not be the best choice. However, if your priority is a comfortable room in a beautiful coastal setting, the hotel itself is a great option.
