Walls are too thin. You were able to hear the other room. Clearly heard everything if you know what I mean. But besides that it was not bad.

The rooms are sparse, to say the least. Dated would be an understatement (phone was gross and yellowed”. First room was so bad..asked to change. The people close by were smoking weed..permeated to our room. They clearly smoked outside on balcony too…you’re outside enjoy the “view” and have to smell weed. We had to go inside and glide the door..was pretty upset about that. Not a smokeless property even though they say they are.
Bed..sheets were great, but bed was so uncomfortable! There was no place to sit or sleep that was comfortable. We ended up taking the plastic Adirondack chairs from outside and bringing the chair inside and putting a blanket over them to sit/sleep comfortably.
View..blocked, but still see some of the ocean. Wonderful to hear the ocean at night. Street and train out front are loud.
Cleaning…minimal. Towels were “crunchy” but white. Room never cleaned..just did towels, bed, and garbage.
Breakfast; waffles, fruit, cereal, yogurt..good.
Staff: DJ and Carlos were absolutely amazing! Extremely helpful, kind, professional, and made the stay.
Sushi restaurant and Sunset Bar next door were very good.
Location: close to everything and within 15 minute drive. However, we were bummed we couldn’t walk across to beach easily.
Would I return… honestly?
Price for what we got…nope. A bit upset about that.

The hotel was old and ran down . Very dirty. The one saving grace was the bed , it was very comfortable. But 30.00 for parking, that no one told us about , computer system was down for two days . The breakfast buffet , was old , cold and not appealing.The rack where you store your clothes, was cover in nicotine. I would not recommend , this motel.

The picture shows that the room has a private balcony that looks right onto the ocean. Our room you could see the ocean and sit out and watch it, but it was on a shared platform, so there was no privacy.

The pictures on the we sure don’t match. But the amenities were as described and comfortable. Before arrival, the front desk clerk led us to believe the property was beach side. Dana Point is a town wide no smoking policy and when we got to our room the patron next door was smoking weed and cigarettes. Toilet paper is single ply. Furniture needs updating.

It was an absolute great stay, the only complaints were that the room walls were super thin so you could hear everything outside, and that the shower didn’t get as hot as I would have liked. The hot tub on the other hand was one of the hottest I have been in, it was amazing!!

Balcony had ok ocean view. Kitchen was barely functional. Fridge was too small and no counter space. Bathroom was tiny and needs help - the fan is super loud and TV in bedroom doesn’t pivot so not really viewable from bed. Train and traffic were noisy. You can’t access beach without driving a short distance.

This property was clearly developed by people who don’t want to put any money into it. Not enough furniture not enough chairs make up stains on the towels just a really substandard amateur job trying to own an operate. A hotel should be listed from your website not you should do it an on-site inspection.

This is an aged property that suffers from very mediocre maintenance. My room showed rusty plumbing fixtures, faucets that do not stop the flow of water, TV remote that only worked after I installed my own new batteries. The sliding glass door to the deck could not be locked so I used a walking stick to keep it secured. There is coffee (not good coffee) but no tea. The referigerator was unclean inside. The room is very spaciouse. Its furnishings included a sofa that is stained. The materilas used in a past \"upgrade\" are very low budget. There is more to say, but to end this report I'll say that the \"complimentary breakfast\" was simply dismal.
All of the above for nearly $280 a night. NOT RECOMMENDED

I got the hillside view but oceanfront is very accessible. You can walk towards the beach or just relax by the jacuzzi and still get the best view especially during sunset. The rooms are clean and spacious but you can kinda hear conversations by the door but other than that everything is great! The staff are also very helpful and nice. They’ll answer your questions and even give options as to where to go and how to get there. Will definitely come back to this place!

Worst experience ever at a hotel. The people in the room above us were stomping around their room until midnight then again at 6am. We couldn't sleep because of the constant loud noises. There is no insulation so you can hear each footstep plus they were walking heavily making the ceiling creek loudly. The balconies offer no privacy because they are angled towards eachother. Then you have a train that passes through at night and morning several times which is also very loud. Staff was nice and room is spacious but the thin floors and the constant noise made our experience miserable.

The room could benefit from lighting above the coffee, refrigerator area. A screen on the patio door would keep out the pesky flying bugs when you want to enjoy the ocean air. It was an enjoyable experience, and I hope to come back.

The location is great and very close to the beach, but our experience had some issues that made the stay uncomfortable, especially as we were traveling with a toddler.
Shortly after check-in, the floor in our room was wet and our toddler slipped and fell. When we mentioned this, the response we received was dismissive rather than apologetic. The TV cable was also not working and was never resolved during our two-night stay, and we were told the hotel was sold out when we asked about changing rooms.
What was most disappointing was the way the situation was handled at the front desk. When we tried to express concerns calmly and asked for a manager, we were not given escalation information and were spoken to in a way that felt unprofessional. Because of this, we chose not to push the issue further during the stay.
The hotel has potential due to its location, but better attention to room readiness, safety, and guest communication—especially for families with children—would make a big difference.

Staff was great. The room was clean. We had 2 queen beds and our room was towards the back of the property. We had a good ocean view. The glass sliding door was hard to open and close. The room was dated (single pane windows etc) but furnished nicely. To get to the beach you must walk down the road and over a bridge. We did it every day. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Definitely did not meet my expectations, but I also got what I paid for in this area. Highly recommend getting an ocean view room, if you don’t you will be getting a tiny room. Don’t bother considering this a “breakfast.” It’s processed pastries, cereal and waffles. Look for other options in the area and expect to pay a little more for a better experience. I was just hoping for a bit nicer hotel. The staff was exceptional and incredibly kind and professional!!

There were only seven cars in the underground parking. It seems as though the guests could have been separated so that no one was in the room above us. Perhaps if we had more considerate neighbors, I would have rated the property higher. Every footfall from the people in the room above ours was clearly heard. There were continuous footsteps from 9:00 p.m. to 12:45 a.m. Luckily, there was a lull until 3:25 a.m., then they started again, off and on until 5:00 a.m.
I figured there would be outside train noise and traffic, but the noise from upstairs was much more intrusive. We could even hear them talking to one another.
The room and sheets were clean.
Although the water pressure was like a light rain, the shower was immaculate. The mirror in the bathroom was quite low. I am only 5'9\" and had to bend my knees to see my whole face.

The only thing going for this place is the location and the size of the rooms. When we checked in there was no shower curtain and then they sent someone up and it barely went low enough so u didn’t get water everywhere. There was black mold in the shower. The bed was hard as a rock and the policies were flat. (so glad I brought my own). If you want cheep ocean view room this is your place but if you can pay a little more for a better place

The jacuzzi was broken both days we were there for Xmas and when they stated it wasn’t working I asked how long had it been broken. They stated since Thanksgiving. It was definitely not noted on the website or booking sight.
It advertised there was a jacuzzi!

I booked this place because we enjoy the jacuzzi together when we’re on vacation. We don’t have one at home so it is really nice to have one at the hotels we choose to stay at.

We were not compensated in any way.
We ended up getting a day /spa pass at another hotel so we could jacuzzi as part of our holiday.

We both are seniors and have Arthritis.
This is our guilty pleasure to jacuzzi occasionally to help relief the discomfort.

There's room under the sink to put in shelves to keep the counter clear. The bathroom light is attached to the vent, which was very, very loud. There should be a way to turn the noise off, but there is not. The bathroom door wouldn't stay open without the garbage can as a door stop.
