I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, while a bit dark, were listed under my name and had a nice view, making it a better stay. The service from the night staff was not as accommodating, unlike the helpful day staff who upgraded us to a suite and offered a discount. The location was wonderful, with a beautiful view of the Harbor and plenty of nearby places to explore and dine. The dining experience was most disappointing, with limited seating in a conference room, though it featured some good elements. Overall, it was a stay with ups and downs.

The hotel is conveniently located in Dana Point harbor, offering a perfect base for exploring with plenty of nearby attractions. The rooms are clean and spacious with a lovely balcony, but the presence of small flies was a minor nuisance. The service provided by the staff is exceptional, with trustworthy insights on local dining recommendations. The dining experience could have been better prepared, but the included options and DIY offerings were a nice touch.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had a strange smell, but they were clean and well-equipped with a kitchenette. The service was hit or miss, with some staff being uncooperative but others offering helpful tips. The location was excellent, right on the marina and close to attractions like the Catalina Express. The facilities seemed adequate but not outstanding.

I had a good experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, with plenty of seating and an option to enjoy the outside view. However, noise from the pool area might bother light sleepers. The service was friendly and helpful, offering great tips about the surroundings. The location was fantastic, within walking distance of shops and restaurants, although noise from street cleaning could be an issue.

The hotel is very clean and large with a nice balcony overlooking the harbor, offering limited accommodation but with nice bedding and a kitchenette section equipped with a fridge/freezer, coffee maker, microwave, and sink. The rooms are spacious and facing the pool, creating a relaxing atmosphere. The location by the marina in Dana Point, not far from the San Diego area, provides a convenient stay, although there seems to be a lack of concern about the environment. The dining experience included DIY waffles, fruit, pastries, and yogurt in a conference room, although the dairy products were in poor condition. The facilities at the hotel were modern and well-maintained, offering a good value for money.
