The property has been recently painted and the bathroom recently remodeled. Beautiful view of the harbor and the ocean beyond. We walked to the harbor, shops, and restaurants every day. The breakfadt was skimpy-no yogurt after the 1st day. The beds and pillows were rock hard. Came home with a sore neck and back. Beautiful property but if they don't get new beds and pillows. I won't be back.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The location is awesome, you can’t get better! I only wish we had a better experience. Most of the staff weren’t friendly, my friend and I felt like we were annoying them. We had to pay a $70 pet fee that included a cleaning fee yet the room wasn’t clean. The carpet had stains and there was trash and things under the beds. In my friend’s room the desk chair was all beat up, it looked like it was taken out of the trash. The fridge didn’t work and we realized it too late. I don’t like to write these kind of reviews but I was super excited to stay here and ended up leaving disappointed.

Definitely NOT going back

The place was a total catfish. When we arrived, there was food spilled all over the floor and someone was trying to get another person to leave their dog with them (a stranger). We stood at the counter for about 15+ minutes while this was happening and tried to stay out of the way. No one was at the front. After 15 mins we tried calling to see if the phone might alert someone, but it just rang and rang. After another 10 mins, and more "long term guests" arguing in the entryway, someone came from the room behind and it was apparent they were just sitting around trying to avoid the guests. They checked us in and we went up to our room. The room was pretty gross. Stains all over the carpeting and poorly layered paint everywhere. The door barely closed. The cable didn't work and when we tried to fix it the TV stopped working (kept giving errors). When we tried to just watch something on our laptop the internet had no connection or link. We tried to call the front desk for help and realized the phone in the room was disconnected. We sat on the bed for a minute and looked around and were so uncomfortable we just left and found another hotel at 10pm. No one was at the desk when we tried to leave so we just left the key at the front counter.

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

For the price, the Marina Inn was satisfactory, but definitely no-frills and somewhat rundown (though clean). The Dana Point Harbor is undergoing a full renovation and this property is among those that will eventually be torn down to make space for two new hotels. The staff was friendly and helpful, but not always available at the front desk. We had to switch rooms mid-stay due to the heater not working in our first room. The hotel offers a decent selection in the breakfast room. Parking is very convenient though costs $15 per day.
