10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic customer service and beautiful place!

We stayed here because we were meeting up with family. The people at the front desk were not only very professional, but very accommodating. They gave us a room next door to our grandkids which made it so much fun! My husband is disabled and they were so kind and understanding in little ways that made a big difference. Our unit was immaculate, with everything we needed, including kitchen furnishings. The pool and spa were lovely and well kept. Thanks for a great experience!

Mattress was hard and needs to be replaced. The tub was oversized with no jets and no light in the shower area and the couch was old needs to be replaced..
Martin, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

No compassion for people

My boyfriend and I were excited to try this hotel out for my birthday week and he fell violently ill on the day of. I had to take him to the ER and he was in the hospital for a few days. The manager finally called me back after trying to get in touch for 3 days to see if I could reschedule. She denied my request and the hotel is trying to take my money still even though I didn't stay there. We will never stay there now. I've been in customer service for 28 yrs and that's not how you treat people. Would not recommend this place.

Great stay for our quick trip. Loved the free bikes for touring Dana Pt , good access the beach, but you have to walk across a pedestrian bridge over the train tracks- not as bad as it sounds. Price was high, mainly due to the music festival. Room was clean, cozy and nice to have a full kitchen.

Great location and hotel, but unappealing road and

Great place overall, but the road noise and train made it not as appealing. Not the hotels fault, but definitely an issue staying there.

We will be back.

We always enjoy our time here. We will be back in November. We are so sorry we totally forgot to leave a tip for the cleaning staff this time. Never knew about the 'June gloom' .

I love the location, I grew up in Dana Point and went to Doheny Beach alot ! It was great to be able to walk across to the beach. I was also impressed when the TV was not working that Agustina was able to change our room to a room with a working TV. I really appreciated that. The room was spacious and loved the view! We will sstay here again!

Stay here

This place was exactly what I saw on the website when i booked through hotels.com. Everything was great. I was out exploring the general areas, and didn't get to use the bikes on the beach. Next time. I will stay again and recommend to friends.
Robert, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The bathtub in the room is humongous. There was trash in the bathroom waste bin when we got there and the freezer was also dirty. Besides that, the room was clean and in good condition.
Gabriela, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice, quieter location, with beach right across the street. Loved the hot tub and bicycles. Full apartments, can cook in rooms. Ask about fees. Some how there is a disconnect between the hotel and booking sites.
Alice, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The property was nice and convenient to the beach. However, the staff needed to be more friendly. The counter person provided no direction/instructions on the property. The bed was not comfortable, it had fuzz balls. Overall stay was ok, but won’t stay their again.
Vanessa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property was fine. Nothing fancy, but for the price I’ve paid, I have nothing to complain about. I want to point out that the service was exceptionally good. The stuff on the front desk was very nice and friendly, and I appreciate it a lot
Olga, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Celebrating an anniversary wanting to enjoy the beach so decided to book this resort based on the selected room type and positive feedback noted but we received the opposite experience. Booked a room with an ocean view balcony got a room with a bushy hill view balcony (back side of the property), room located next to the elevator shaft so you can hear all the gears and mechanisms of the arriving car including the door bell’s. On top of that, we feel all the other hotel guests arriving and departing sounded as if they were in our room waiting for the elevator which created an echo chamber which was annoying at best. The room we had also allowed us to hear our neighbors from the bedroom wall who unfortunately had a baby where you can hear the cries and parents discussions. Others issues that could be reported but trying to keep this short due to a comment field cap. Last item, the hotel staff did NOT seem eager to assist or accommodate us on what was suppose to be a memorable trip ringing in our anniversary. Be wise, look elsewhere.
