The staff was lovely, the room was decent, the bed was very comfortable, I slept so so good. Breakfast was included which was nice, we were hoping for some protein in the mix but it was mainly cereal, oatmeal, bagels and muffins. As a couple who don't eat many carbs, there wasn't much to choose from but we made it work. The place overall feels a little dated but the Inn as a whole was good for the price and we loved it was in walking distance to the harbor and alot of other great spots. If you're looking for a reasonably priced spot near the harbor this is a good choice.

When we arrived the room was hot and stuffy. The bathtub had a rusty hole and the pedestal sink was too small to accommodate our things. The curtain appeared broken due to not fully closing. There was heavy equipment trimming and tearing down trees down from my room. At 7:30 am the next day the same equipment was now outside our room. We left for the day. Returned to rest for the evening activities only to have the equipment working outside our room. The manager was willing to refund us a night The only thing good about this hotel was the location. We will not return to this hotel the next time we visit Dana Point

Fine if you know what to expect. It was a decent place with a bed close to marina with convenient location. Breakfast was good and staff was great. Do not expect nice and new though- Room was old and had a bad smell. Black mold or something in bathtub and very run down. Super cute building and great location but building and rooms need major updates.

Overall a nice place to stay. However, there were few plumbing problems . Bathrooms sink stopper was not installed properly so stopper wouldn’t go up and down; bathtub stopper was very hard to engage and bathtub was not draining well when stopper was removed.

This hotel is near and dear to my heart. I grew up in the area and am super disappointed with how run down it has become. The faucet handle came off (completely) when I turned on the cold water. Dark mold in the shower and on floor. 2 towels had unidentified stuff on them. Hair dryer didn't dry at all made lots of noise but wasn’t hot and I ended up standing in front of air conditioner. Walls were dirty - they also looked moldy and I heard my neighbor pop open a coke. Awful. I think it’s being torn down soon but then they shouldn’t book stays if the rooms are that bad.
