There was a couple that fought all night long. Beginning at 10:00pm until 4:30am. I called the front desk several times. They only came up once. I was staying alone and was a bit fearful of the domestic violence happening next door. The staff should had called the authorities and had the guests removed. I asked to speak with a manager in the morning and there was not one on property. I left my phone number and have not been contacted. They told me to reach out to Expedia for a refund.

This place is a dump. The pictures that they post to expedite are rooms that aren’t real. My shower was filled with mildew. The toilet seat was Nichole seat that was so warm out that the paint was gone. The parking garage was a haven for drug use. The tv in the closet wasn’t viewable. Their breakfast was disgusting. Not to mention that it’s right across from the transit station. When I emailed the hotel they sent me an auto response. Sorry about that they didn’t live up to my expectations. And my complaint will be passed onto the maintenance. How does the cleaning crew not see the mildew and the worn out toilet seat? And now I’m thinking I won’t be using Expedia again.

Staff was great. Big room. Hot tub had an ocean view so did our room. Fridge, microwave, AND a sink in the kitchen area. The price was the best with similar amenities in that area that specifically had an ocean view. (The beach isn’t a big deal but seeing it from my room was. If it hadn’t been, we would have stayed in Irvine.) Reasons I didn’t give it five stars: The elevator is where most guests are introduced to the hotel coming up from the parking lot. Not a great first impression. Probably the easiest cheapest fix. Clean it, find better pest control options, update the walls, and fix that emergency stop button ASAP. In the room, the door chain was broken. Like it was broken by force which was creepy because we were in the room at the top of the stairs from the street. That sofa was tough. It didn’t look like a sofa bed but it felt like the metal was poking through the cushions. The privacy curtains were missing (there were rods installed) which meant foot traffic could either see directly into our room or we had to use the blackout curtains. Kind of a bummer. Housekeeping does a great job. I’d stay again if they fixed those things or the price was like $60 less.

Overall we had a good stay and the staff was very nice. However the building itself could use some TLC.

Our room was in the middle of being cleaned upon our arrival - not a big deal, but odd since we checked in after the approved check-in time. Even after the cleaning was completed, there were hairs on the bathroom floor.

One of the elevators was not working when I arrived, which meant I had to carry my suitcase up the stairs to the 3rd floor. I reported the issue to the desk and she assured me she would look into it. By the time we returned later that day, it was working again. However, all of the certifications and permits inside of both elevators were 5+ years old, which was a little concerning.

Pull-out couch mattress was extremely uncomfortable and seemingly very old. Much of the bathroom could use some maintenance - peeling/moldy caulk, non-working overhead fan, broken tile.

I enjoyed my two-night stay and am glad I chose this hotel for my first visit to Dana Point. The staff was cheerful and friendly. The room was much larger than expected, with lots of windows, a beautiful beach view, and a spacious balcony where I spent hours reading and listening to the waves. I also appreciated that there was no daily housekeeping, which suited me perfectly.

The hotel is older, and there are a few things future guests should know. While located directly across from the beach, the hotel is separated by a busy street and the railroad tracks, so traffic and train noise are noticeable. The bed was firmer than I prefer, the sofa was low with flat cushions, and the bathtub had no grab bars or other safety features, which could be a concern for some guests.

Overall, I’m glad I stayed here because the ocean view and balcony made for a relaxing getaway. This stay gave me exactly the peaceful retreat I needed.

There is a restaurant/Bar next door that on the weekends plays very loud music with a DJ. Plus lots of drunk people all around yelling in the parking lot right next to our room. Windows and doors let in all the sound so we couldn't sleep at all. Plus I was so worried about safety because you could just walk onto the property and get to the rooms. I was not relaxed at all so we left the next day. The rooms look nice in pictures but that was it The bathroom was pretty but the shower was cold for like 10min and with no water pressure. We chose this hotel for the beach across the street which was beautiful but this hotel was not safe enough for my family of young kids. They did not give us a hard time when we cut our reservation early. Which we appreciated.

I arrived at 5pm after driving for 6 hours and was informed my room was not ready and that I would need to wait another 20 mins. Upon arrival there was a gentleman in front of me that had no reservation and was given 2 rooms on the spot. A reservation should come before a walkin. My room is my room. It should not be viewed as AVAILABLE to give to someone else.

The woman at check in was rude about the situation and downplayed me waiting. Check-in is AT 3!!!! My room should have BEEN ready and waiting for me at 3!! I paid for MY ROOM from 3 to 11 the next day. Yet, it wasn’t ready. She said it was fully booked the prior night so housekeeping was having a hard time cleaning.

Bathtub had dark hair in it. ICK!!! Sink had rust and leaked on the counter the whole time literally wetting my cosmetics bag. Furnishings are very cheap, uncomfortable and not welcoming at all.

Spa closes way too early! Closing around 11p or 12a would be much more appealing. People spend the day at the beach and it doesn’t even get dark until late. Which left no time to enjoy it. Towels ware awful!!! Mine had RUST stains on it. I would never offer those to my guests. And a set of 4 wasn’t even present! Coffee in room was also very poor quality.

Bed was comfy. And view was gorgeous.

The woman at the front desk needs an attitude adjustment and training on how reservations work!!

This hotel was in a decent location, but unfortunately, there’s no access to the beach directly across the street. You have to go over this ridiculously huge bridge in order to get to the beach, which is a very rocky beach so we just drove to Laguna each day. One thing I was very disappointed in was the fact I specifically decided to book this place so I can relax in the hot tub and look at the ocean. The view from the hot tub is good. However, the hot tub did not have any jets flowing whatsoever. So it was pretty much like taking a bath. For the first two days, the hot tub was ideal temperature but towards the end it got lukewarm. For the property managers this is something where a little can go a long way.! just fix the Jets to appease your customers. It’s really not a hard thing to do. And I would imagine it would boost your reviews a ton if the hot tub actually had jets. We also had trouble sleeping some nights because we stayed on the second floor and the floor above us, you could hear everything. Anytime someone moved any furniture or walked fastly you could hear it.

I was pleasantly surprised. The couch in the room was old and squeaky, but the beds were great. Loved the view. Beds were comfy. This room was much quieter than my single room. The breakfast wasn't huge, but it was free and it was a huge help because we were running late and needed something quick. Quiet, amazing location and the parking is perfect.

I initially booked one night in a two-queen suite via Hotels.com. The following evening, I called at 9 PM to extend my stay. Though my original room wasn’t available, the receptionist assured me that I could move rooms the next day and that I could stay in my current room until the new one was ready—no need to leave the hotel. The next day, the receptionist on duty (the manager) denied this arrangement ever existed, and I was told to leave. Only after I insisted they confirm with the previous staff did they ‘let it slip this time,’ implying I was being dishonest. I felt disrespected and let down by the inconsistency in service and tone.

The second room I booked was an ocean view only to find it out it was partial ocean view and my request to change the room was denied by the same manager.

I would have expected more professionalism and accommodation from a hotel manager!

Breakfast options are basic, prepackaged pastries were disappointing.

It is a nice hotel, a little difficult to navigate inside because of the property design but once you get it, it's easy.

It's in front of the beach but you have to cross the street. To be able to get to the beach you have to climb a very steep stairs once you crossed the street (no elevator available) or have to walk to the nearest pedestrian crossing.
