Dana Point Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Ideal location at a great price ."

Casablanca Inn

6/10 Okay

"Another resort property that has been upgraded with new room and bathroom fixtures but still not quite 4- or 5-star level. Shooting for a boutique feel but not quite there. The amenities, like free breakfast., were a nice touch but not quite up to even a Holiday Inn standard but not for lack of trying. Being close to the beach was a big plus and parking on the property was free and plentiful. All in all, good value for the price and location. But have to give a shoutout to the Jacob and Adiranna who went beyond the call of duty to help us. When I returned home, I discovered that I had left an expensive gold watch in my room safe. They answered our urgent call for help right away. Searched the room and recovered my watch. Then they organized getting it shipped to me via UPS. Can't say enough about their integrity and honesty. Bravo!"

Hilton Garden Inn Dana Point Doheny Beach

4/10 Poor

"AThe room was dirty, wall unit came off the wall nails exposed, picture frame on the ground and nails exposed, spiders and webs everywhere. Couldnt use our patio furniture because they were covered in spiders and dirty, hotel does not offers free water, tea, or coffee, had several nights where they was no parking even though we paid $45 a night for parking, they charges my card multiple times even though I paid cash up front, front staff was not nice and one even rolled her eyes several times after I asked for the manager, spiders in the bathroom, towels and toilet paper was not stocked, we had to ask for some, drawers were filthy dirty, including the fridge. The only person that gave amazing customer service and was so sweet was the lady that served us breakfast in the morning. Food was good."

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

4/10 Poor

"Very nice facility however it is undergoing construction a fact that we weren’t made aware of until well after the booking. They also charge a resort fee (why not include it in the price of the room?) which were not made aware of until check out. We also had to pay extra for maid service ( again we were not made aware until check out) and parking. Where in the hell am I going to park? The parking garage was full so most everyone staying there, drove there. It’s not the kind of place you walk to or take the bus to. The advertised room rate is not what you pay."

Capistrano Coast House

10/10 Excellent

"If could give this hotel 1,000 stars, I would! The decor was absolutely stunning and reminded us of our favorite places in Puerto Vallarta. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the two fireplaces made for the perfect nightcap and a truly relaxing evening. The staff at the front desk were amazing—friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The amenities were top-notch, including Le Labo shampoo, conditioner, soap, and lotion (the same brand sold at Nordstrom). The view was breathtaking, and to top it all off, there was a record player in the room with our favorite band, Stick Figure, ready to play. It felt like every detail had been thoughtfully curated to create a memorable experience. This will be our one and only spot for future staycations. We can't wait to come back!"
