"Uncomfortable 5 day stay!"

Reviewed August 09, 2025 NEW

Not the best experience. Have stayed here twice this year in 2025 and both times mattresses were old and well beyond service life. Very lumpy and uncomfortable. Situation was reported in a survey and returned to same room 5 months later and situation had not been rectified. Unacceptable!

"Would not recommend"

Reviewed June 17, 2025

I’m giving 2 stars simply because the location is good and the staff is friendly. We paid extra for an ocean view and we got put in room 112 which is ground level and right near the ramp entrance to the hotel which blocks part of the view as well as has people walking up and down it. WiFi is not great Had no remote to the television upon check in Hot water wasn’t working on our last day Toilet was very slow to flush with normal usage and got clogged often with light use requiring us to use a plunger There is a bestwestern colored light on the balcony that shines directly in the room at night. Overall I would not recommend

"Great remodeled room near the beach!"

Reviewed March 26, 2025

Great spacious king room that looks newly remodeled. Comfy bed and tv with many channels. Less than 10 minute walk to the beach with decent views from some rooms. Napoleon did a great job with check in. Breakfast was decent with egg and sausage patties, baked goods, potatoes, juices, and coffees. Free parking too underground.

"Ocean View"

Reviewed December 29, 2024

Updated rooms & jacuzzi in some rooms, fresh paint with a nice location near factory outlets & restaurants a few miles away, nice ocean view jacuzzi is perfect for relaxing. Breakfast has meat & eggs & lots of other choices. Lots of bang for your buck in Dana Point & close to San Clemente.

"Great value for a getaway"

Reviewed December 25, 2024

After searching for a nice hotel close to the beach in Orange County, this place easily takes first prize. The facility is very clean, with comfortable bed and a decent breakfast. There is also free Wi-Fi and free parking (very rare on the beach), and the hotel is located right across Pacific Coast Highway from not just the beach but also a block away from an excellent tall overpass bridge that takes you over the railroad tracks but also provides some great views up and down the coast. The manager Napolean R and his sister do a wonderful job of making you feel welcome like family and the prices here are reasonable (consider also a mid-week visit). Also, some of the rooms have clean, modern and well-maintained two-person hot tubs which we greatly enjoyed as well as the numerous outdoor sitting areas (all sheltered nicely from the rain or bright sun) with tables and chairs, from which you can enjoy the ocean view while playing board games or just relaxing. This is a quiet location away from the crowds and traffic of Dana Point but very conveniently located for all the attractions in the area. We will definitely be coming back!
