Hilton Garden Inn Dana Point Doheny Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The facilities at this hotel are excellent! The entire hotel is clean and updated. The location is impressive. "

Capri Laguna on the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"My mom and I had an incredible stay here in early December, where we spent my birthday. Nick and Bachir were very kind and accommodating. I love the architecture of this place. It makes you feel like you are somewhere in Italy with the narrow staircases and White fixtures. The beach is literally right behind the building, which gives you private access to a chunk of Laguna Beach. They have an absolutely gorgeous spot to watch the sunset. The beach views are also so incredible from your room. I also love that they have complementary breakfast with yummy waffles, boiled eggs, oatmeal, yogurt, and much more. It is also a great location to stay in Laguna Beach, so close to a variety of restaurants and shops. And only about a mile walk to downtown Laguna. We really loved how walkable everything was in the town. Parking was also very convenient with a number of spots on the property. But what really made an impression on my mom and I was how friendly and kind the staff were (shout out to Nick and Bachir). We will definitely be coming back because of their hospitality!"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Costa Mesa / Newport Beach

8/10 Good

Reason being most guest Don't check out till after 12 noon and check-in was 3 PM. We we're forced to pack all of our luggage into our friend's car. And then travel up to Inglewood for a football game, changing into our clothes in the parking lot in Inglewood. "
