Convenient to everything
Older hotel but clean and comfortable and great location right by the marina to catch the ferry to Catalina Island! Breakfast pretty basic, beds on the hard side but ok, all in all a comfortable stay.

They had a nice pool and hot tub. The view from the room was beautiful. The room was clean. Minor item - there was rust around the fixtures shower rod, the towel rack and sink drain in the bathroom.

Affordable and Acceptable but not Special.
Visiting family in area. One of the more affordable places to stay but it is a tired looking and feeling building. It served our purpose but it is not a place I would recommend to someone who is looking for a modern and attractive facility. Of course that would cost you twice as much.

Really Run Down
Really run down. The only thing this place has going for it is its location. Basically a Motel 6 on the Marina. No maid service and if you need anything like fresh towels you have to get them from the lobby.

Great location and very affordable
Is a great place to stay. It’s a great location and it’s quiet. They have a nice pool and a hot tub and it’s right on the harbor so it’s so nice to walk there. It’s also within walking distance to downtown Dana Point and the restaurants and shops there. I was told that they were going to tear it down in September so now is the time to get a great deal on a hotel in that area

If at first you don’t succeed…
Room/bathroom was not clean. Front desk moved us to another room. The noise from the people next door all night long prevented us from a good nights sleep. Walls are paper thin.
Will not rebook .
