We were super excited to go to this hotel based on all the positive reviews; unfortunately, we were greatly disappointed with the hotel and location. Hotel is in poor condition, needs major remodeling. It offers a hot tub, but jets are barely working. The morning breakfast was a huge disappointment, we walked into a breakfast room to see what they had, and walked out without any food.
Location is bad; yes, you can see the ocean from your hotel room, but there is a chain link fence all along the beach to prevent people from crossing the busy road and railroad tracks. They do have walkways available to get to the beach, but it is not ideal.
The best part about hotel was $20 per night parking.
We do not recommend to stay at this hotel, or around that area of Dana point.
