One of the best hotels we've ever stayed in. The view is amazing, the room was very spacious, beautiful and sparkling clean. Breakfast was fresh, the patio was dreamy, and public spaces were inviting and comfy. Super recommended.

I have stayed at so many hotels this year through-out California and this one was the best by far. The customer service (just like everyone says) exceeds expectations, the location is amazing, and the food/drinks onsite are so good you don’t need to leave. My only complaint is that we did not book this longer but we loved the quaint room, it was so comfortable, and we really enjoyed lounging outside. Most of the time I have checked out of hotels and you want to leave right away, in this case we stayed for a few more drinks and to enjoy the scenery. I think the description online is very straight forward and you can see the room is not huge. The attention to detail is what mattered the most to us along with the amenities it came with. We were helped mostly by Hunter who did such a great job showing us around and responding to all questions. We felt so spoiled.

The location is great. The staff was super kind and helpful. The room and bathroom were very clean and the room had its own kitchen which would be great for a longer stay. (Please, if you stay go have breakfast at RJ’s across the street, it was a staff recommendation and we loved it!!)

    Terrific paths for walking along the harbor.

    Terrific paths for walking along the harbor. Great restaurants and spots to enjoy the ocean. The Ohana Festival is lucky to be able to return each year to Doheny State Beach in Dana Point! I found the path along the beach and harbor very easy to access and a perfect way to enjoy the views. We didn't get into our car once, you can walk to fantastic restaurants and shopping - while getting your "steps in!"

    We were in Dana Point the day after New Years Eve.

    We were in Dana Point the day after New Years Eve. The Christmas decorations on trees, businesses and the harbor are fantastic. Every server, whether mid day appetizers or dinner were the best .... ever. Made you feel like family. Dana Point is one of the best places we've been. Chart House is truly a great dining experience. Don't miss visiting the Sea Institute or taking a stroll out to the jetty.

    Great restaurants with beautiful views down at the harbor. Beautiful beaches with easy access and affordable parking. We discovered the Ocean Institute, which wasn't open during the week, but we would definitely like to return to visit it and go on one of their tall ship tours.

    Husband and I stayed one night to catch a fishing charter scheduled for the following morning. The location was perfect... Walking distance to food, shopping, marina and beaches... Rooms were clean and the staff was polite and helpful... Other than the few issues listed below, we would definitely stay here again and recommend others give it a try... * The location of our room on the second floor, left us with no privacy, Unless we kept the drapes drawn, hotel guests stepping off the elevator were able to see directly into our room... *Room key issues- Need to update system. Locked out twice... *Paying to park in hotel parking lot

    Beautiful place. Safe areas to cross traffic. Beautiful beach within walking distance. Nice selection of restaurants within walking distance and/or short driving distance. Had to make several U-turns until I understood how the roadways were connected.
