My husband and I stayed this passed weekend and we just say we were so impressed with everything. From the minute we walked in the door the guy welcomed us right away with great dinner suggestions advised to let him know when we wanted our chimney turned out in the patio. We loved it and as locals this was a perfect get away because it felt cozy but the structure was beautiful we said we will be coming very often to just unwind.

Lovely property across the street from Capo Beach, a mile or so from the center of Dana Pt. Unexpectedly beautiful for the price - rooms, fire pits, Spanish colonial tiling, and lounge area. Excited for when their resto-bar opens; will complete the picture!

A very charming hotel. Loved the location and the convenient parking next to the rooms. Especially loved the mattress and pillows, which were incredibly comfortable. Staff were also extremely polite and helpful. Only critiques would be to remove the custom frames around the TV so you can easily turn it on/off and change channels without standing right on top of it. We will be back!

If you’re like me and you prefer boutique hotels over big brands, this place delivers. Plenty of character adds to the appeal. Small room but the patio really extends your living space and was private. I was disappointed to learn that the restaurant/bar were not yet open under the new ownership. I probably would have booked it anyway for the charm and the location. Just up the beach from Dana Point and convenient to local coffee shops and stores within a mile.

Adorable place in Dana Point. The decor is extremely well done in an old Spanish mission theme. The staff is very friendly. It was perfect for a quick, affordable escape near the beach. One disappointment was that the walls were super thin and we could hear everything from the next room. Another thing to note for people unfamiliar with the area is that Pacific Coast Highway is in between the hotel and the beach. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Charming old, but fully refurbished hotel. Immaculate grounds and rooms. We really enjoyed the porch over-looking the beach and Dana Point Harbor where we watched the sunset snuggled under the blanket provided for us. You have to understand that it is an old hotel, so the walls are thin, and you are right across the street from the train, which stops running after 9:00PM, but it's part of the charm. Loved the split doors where you could open the top and let the fresh air flood the room. Staff was very nice and helpful. We will certainly stay again.

This hotel is so adorable and the staff is so helpful and friendly. The rooms all have a record player that also play cassettes, cds or are Bluetooth. We stayed in the bottom rooms that have a full patio and outdoor heater...so great. The soaps, lotion and shampoo and conditioner are all high end and smell nice. They provide robes, slippers, ear plugs, water and snacks in the room and have beach equipment on request. It's a 10/10 and I'd stay here every time I'm in the area..

Advertised as ocean view, which is kind of true, but you have to look across and listen to 5 lanes of PCH and busy train tracks to enjoy. Additionally during our two night stay the room was never cleaned and basically no amenities. Finally, tiny rooms.
