The room was clean and comfortable for this type of hotel. It was great that the hotel offers EV charging stations.

Ez check in
The check in was super fast and easy. Room was clean with a spa tub and a tv in the bathroom. Free breakfast was decent, but the waffle maker was broken. Starbucks, McDonald's and jersey mikes right across the street.

Clean and Convenient Hotel
We essentially stayed for a comfortable, safe and clean room. There are restaurants nearby which were very helpful. There was a light show in the harbor area about 3 miles away with restaurants too is very nice. Met our expectations

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.

I didn't like my room close to where you put the sheets, and towels! I wanted to take a nap after I arrived. It wasn't possible because of the noise when the door will shut off!
