A hotel at an excellent location. Services are good. Since the harbor view room I booked was not ready on time, they waved my two days parking fee. Nice furniture and comfortable bed but no microwave. Unfortunately the bathroom is very dated. Plenty restaurants around harbor area within walking distance. A nice staying experience.

I've stayed here a couple of times. This room was the worst one (223) No soap, 1/4 roll of toilet paper only, dingy linins, very noisy "air conditioner". Overall a shabby impression. They did have a very nice breakfast though.

Location!!!
Keep in mind, this is a very dated hotel but very clean. Breakfast was great. Hot eggs/meat and everything you would find in a normal American breakfast. Location was our choice in choosing this hotel. Right on the harbor, walking distance to restaurants, shopping and attractions. Will definitely return.

Cute, great location, nice staff. Just don't have high expectations re condition. Many small items were in need of repair or rehab but it did not affect the short stay. Location cannot be beat and the staff was wonderful.

Location was amazing especially during Christmas. Lots of good walking areas. Staff was superb. Unfortunately the room was really dirty and as others have mentioned, needs a revamp. But it wasn’t just the old furniture and carpet. It was just a very neglected room. The incredible dust behind the tv, if you look in the coffeemaker well, it was disgusting. Mold on shower tile. Dirt and dust in the soap dish and on Glass shelves in the bathroom. The room key issue was annoying but the staff was super friendly and explained it to me upon check in so I just had to make a few trips up to the front to get them re-keyed which was fine. I still enjoyed my stay here!!

We had a great overnight stay at Dana Point Marina Inn. The location is fantastic — surrounded by beautiful water views, restaurants and shopping — all right outside your door. The hotel was perfect. Staff very helpful and efficient. Easy to give this place 5 stars!

The room was not very lean we. We didn’t us the ac/heat system because it was caked up with dust and dirt. Employees were very nice. They had no wash clothes for the room or hand towels all they could offer were regular towels.

The hotel is very good. Except by the bathroom in the rooms need some updates. The staff people are very friendly and serviceable. I recommend this hotel if you want to pass a great accommodation and to know the areas near to the hotel. Near to the hotel there are many places for to know.

Well managed, ageing hotel
Well managed ageing hotel. Very clean with helpful, friendly staff. Location is excellent. You do have to pay extra for parking, but that seems to be the case with most places in Southern California. Worth getting a harbour view room.
