Dana Point Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Older property, comfortable beds. fantastic location. Staff is very nice and they all work hard."

Capistrano Surfside Inn

8/10 Good

"This hotel is located right across from the beach. My room was spacious and had a full kitchen. I had some issues with my cable box, but the staff was able to resolve them. My room was on the backside of hotel and I was above the laundry room which wasn't the best, but other than that the room was great!"
