Hotel was fine, we splurged for the suite and we were glad that we did to have the extra room. There was pretty much no view from the balcony so that was a waste of money, but they didn't advertise it that it had a view and it really wasn't that much more. Impressive breakfast for a hotel. No issues with anything. Conveniently located in Dana Point, close to the Harbor.

Stayed for a couple of nights for a festival on the beach. Great walking location. Amazing bakery across the street and other nice restaurants in walking distance. Room was very dated and a bit noisy, but it was a good location for what we needed. Bathroom desperately needed a remodel however water pressure was good and water was hot. Staff were nice at check-in. Definitely expensive for standard of hotel but that goes with the demand on the time we were there.
