Cute and Quiet location

We just stayed the night cause we had an early appointment at the Dana Point post office and it was super convenient to the location and also to food and drinks. It was a very quiet location with great harbor views.

Convenient location. but thread bare. Bed was squishy but adequate. Shower functional but not wonderful. Sink minimal. Our first room was smaller but neighbors were so noisy they relocated us to a much bigger room. Breakfast was minimal, the only protein was refried beans.
