Dana Point Marina Inn
"The room was okay. The only thing going for the hotel is the location. It is an old hotel, a step above motel 6 honestly but they are doing construction so maybe they’ll move to a newer location. They really need to update this hotel."

Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel

Beachfront Inn and Suites at Dana Point
"This place was the worst . They are not helpful . You pay for 2 days but if you’re a day late they won’t let you check in even though you’re still paid up for another day. They do nothing to help you so your stuck out of town with no where to stay and lucky if they will reimburse you for 1 night"

Capistrano Surfside Inn

An oasis of clam, charm & comfort, in great location, near ocean, resorts, shops

LARGE CONTEMPORARY HOME ON THE SAND, HOT TUB, CHEF’S KITCHEN, ENDLESS VIEWS
"I can’t say enough about how beautiful this property is and the attention to detail for any guest’s needs. I hope we have the opportunity to use this property again. The only thing that was missing was beach access but I think that will change in the not too distant future."
