The view from the balcony was great. But the hotel is getting old and needs some work.
What I didn’t like was the tiny bathroom the size of a very small closet. Stairs were damaged and roped off so I’m order to get to hot tub you had to go around the front of hotel and enter there. Also needs cleaning. I liked that they cleaned the room good and the front office staff was friendly
Fast check in, nice property. Good space. Ok comfort re beds. Dana Point property was in walking distance to only a few restaurants and the train went regularly and noisily. But it was near the freeways and a fine place to stay
This is the worst Best Western that I have ever stayed. The staff was not polite at all. There is no tissue paper in the room. As soon as we arrived, we were forced to add a $15 resort fee, which was not mentioned when we booked the hotel. It was not a resort area. It was next to the train railway line, which was very noisy in the night.
The room was great except for the fact that we couldn’t use the fireplace because the bricks were falling off inside
I don't know how this place got over 4 stars. I am by no means a fussy traveler and I can tell you this was one of the worst hotels I've stayed in since I was a poor 20 something. Absolutely no redeeming qualities at all.
The location was great. The room over all was good beds were comfy. Bathroom is super tiny! Breakfast was just OK.
Beware, a hidden resort fee is requested upon check in in ADDITION TO the QUOTED RATE.
This hotel is great! Very friendly staff, if you get an ocean view room its worth it and amazing. The rooms are very nice, a bit musty smelling but I think that's to be expected with an older hotel by a beach. I'm an early morning person so for me breakfast starts a little late at 7:30, but no bigge. Overall i would definitely recommend and would stay again myself.
The staff was great and the room was clean. Only issue we had is the AC never got cold. The room was uncomfortably hot in the middle of the night.
Room was ok but aged. Reserved room from Orbitz only to find out there was an additional charge per night which they charge as a "resort" fee but only if you reserve from a third party. I find this to be a little shady. They of course say this in small print knowing that when people are booking they don't have the time to read this print and bank on that. Why is it so difficult to be transparent and show the exact price so customers are not disappointed the minute they enter your establishment setting the tone for their stay and impacting their vacation. If you are proud of your establishment be forthright with all fees. Completed an original review and Best Western said they would immediately look into the situation but that was a week ago and have heard nothing thus far.
Second time at this hotel because we enjoyed it so much the first time. Very quiet except for traffic along PCH. Occasional train wasn’t totally disruptive. Be sure to get a room with the view of the ocean!
Clean and simple. Quiet and close to the beach. I was surprised by the train(s) but the noise is minimal. Rooms are larger than expected. This place is a definite last minute go-to.
The hotel is across the street from the beach, and you turn into low underground parking. Very small spaces, with lots of pipes very low in the structure. They do have an elevator to go up to check-in. There are 3 floors, we were suppose to have a garden view, however, it was disappointing as it was more a view of a wall. The room was very musty smelling, and they charged a resort fee; and I don't feel it is up to resort standards. There is no pool, no exercise room, no sauna; and it is hike to go down to the signal to cross the highway to go the the beach. Since when do motels charge a resort fee, when they are not a resort.
Friendly staff gave us a free upgrade ENJOYED SITTING IN THE SUN ON THE DECK LOOKING AT THE OCEAN
We stayed at the BW Plus just one night as we were passing through but it was clean, the room was larger than expected (2 doubles), convenient to Dana Point and the cost was reasonable.
