Top Ocean Institute Hotel Reviews

Blue Lantern Inn, A Four Sisters Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The Blue Lantern was really lovely in a low key way. Perfect for what we were looking for. The only thing we would have changed is that the hotel does not offer lattes as a coffee option."

Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"place so clean , staff is very nice ."

Hilton Vacation Club Riviera Beach & Shores

10/10 Excellent

"I read too many reviews on all the websites and got confused … and then went with my gut to stay here and I’m so happy I did!! I’ll be back!"

Hilton Garden Inn Dana Point Doheny Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the location & staff"

Best Western Plus Dana Point Inn-by-the-sea

10/10 Excellent

"The property was in good shape for the most part. The patio door would stick probably due to moisture expanding the door. Also, there was some water damage to the bottom of the door frame in the bathroom. I know from my own experience that if the bathroom door frame is not sealed, bugs would love to make a home there with the added moisture from the shower."

Capistrano Surfside Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This is an outstanding place to stay! My daughter and I loved every minute of being there. We loved sitting on the balcony and listening to the waves. The bedrooms were so nice. The kitchen was great. Everything was clean, and the suite was so cozy! The staff was fabulous and super accomadating! The only bad thing about this place is that it is popular and hard to book another stay. :-("
