Top Ocean Institute Hotel Reviews

Dana Point Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We love this place even if it’s run down."

Beachfront Inn and Suites at Dana Point

8/10 Good

"Everything was very nice given the level of the hotel. The view is spectacular. The breakfast is adequate but not hot other than great waffle makers. The staff is very helpful. The hot tub is hot and provides a nice view from the area looking at the ocean. The garage is clean and sufficient. It overlooks PCH but the closed windows muffled the noise."

Hilton Vacation Club Riviera Beach & Shores

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotels rooms i have been in. My wife and I have visited the area numerous times and this will be the hotel we stay. Rooms have a nice view of they ocean. Kitchen, living room, outdoor grill and a very nice shower. Hotel offers plenty of other"

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

2/10 Terrible

"The hotels location is about the only thing it has going for it. The price you have to pay to be in a construction zone is more than it is worth the staff minus the valet staff was something you would expect from a motel 6 and charged the price of staying at a ritz Carlton which I would choose if rather than be placed from one inadiquite room to another. The rooms are crammed together and the size was that of a closet. Anyone thinking of this Marriott should consider otherwise and I’m extremely dissatisfied with the overall experience. I hope that they will get their act together as I enjoy most every Marriott stay I have had."
