Disappointed

I enjoy my time in Dana Point it seems as the years pass by the hotel needs some TLC and some minor detail prices are not cheap there what’s wrong with expecting the place to show some pride! The tub needs to be repainted and renovated, the paint on the doors are peeling, one of the linens closets needs knobs the fans they have in the rooms were all dirty full of dust and with lint! Two blinds were on the floor broken, no one came to my room for cleaning and they have a sign for tipping the house keeper! That didn’t make any sense to me. This place used to be really nice. I keep coming back because it’s so convenient on the waterfront but they’re losing their spark. It almost reminds me like if I’m spending the night at Motel that makes me sad. My door keys kept loosing the magnet to open the door this was frustrating and the door kept getting stuck! This time around I was so disappointed!😔

My kids and I had a fun weekend staycation here while we visited the Ocean Institute. We rode the metrolink to San Juan Capistrano and an OCTA bus dropped us off in front of the hotel. This hotel is a short walk away from the restaurants and shops in the harbor. The Ocean Institute and a wave-less kid friendly beach is a just a short walk away. My kids loved splashing around the pool during the day and soaking in the hot tub at night. The room was overall clean and all the amenities worked. Our bed was comfortable and we got a great night of sleep. The included breakfast was surprisingly good too. The only thing this place needs is new carpet.

Decent for the price

We had already heard the hotel is planning on being demolished so not surprised that it was pretty run down. We brought our dog and stayed in one of the larger Suites which definitely looks like other pets have stayed which was fine. One night the room across from us was a bunch of young kids having a party so that was very disruptive and I should have notified the front desk. Overall, great location and friendly staff. The pool looked very nice and the room was spacious for our whole family.

Dana Point Marina Inn was a good deal with a great location. My only suggestion would be complimentary parking for guests ($15 per night...ouch!) and a healthier continental breakfast options. However, very quiet and nice cleaning staff. Thank You

I have been staying at this hotel for many years. It is a great location quiet because it’s not on the highway I used to want to keep this place a secret it was the best place for your money for those of us who are not rich. It’s not a resort. It’s just a place to sleep clean and safe however they are going to tear it down and probably build a very expensive place that I won’t be able to afford and that’s a shame. I’m not poor, but I’m not filthy rich either. The parking used to be free however the past few years I’ve had to pay $15 a night just to park my car but some filthy Rich guy, bought the marina from what I hear and they are destroying it so many of the great restaurants are already gone so they can tear it down so sad
