Very disappointed that they charge extra $25 a day for parking shocking. And the icing on the cake the gym is not working “under refurbishment “ I’ll think twice if I’ll stay here again. And the food choices unbelievably poor.

Although the property is a bit “tired”, the hotel is located close to a holiday party I was attending. Not wanting to drive home to Riverside County late at night, this was one of few Dana Point options available for my last minute reservation. Although nothing to write home about, the bed was comfortable, and the full-breakfast a nice surprise!

Disliked: Cleanliness
Checked in with pets - called ahead - the room they gave us was on the third floor, far away from stairs or elevator. No real area for having pets go outside. The room smelled really bad. The cleaning service did not even make the bed. Elevator was extremely slow. Parking spaces very small and uncomfortable to navigate.

Good location, near the Rows. Lots of restaurants! Friendly staff. The room is old. You can hear the walking sound, water flowing sound above your roof. The breakfast is only editable. Nothing standing out. But hey free breakfast, free parking, what else do you need?
