"Excellent stay"

Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel

8/10 Good

"No available public restroom ( it was locked). $25 parking fee for unsecured outside parking was a bit much. Breakfast was good location was great staff was helpful"

Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa

8/10 Good

"cute hotel...but overprice for an hotel in full renovation ! At least...when client don't have access to the full resort...don't charge crazy resort fee and parking Location is great...just 5 min walking from doheny state park nice room...but no seal under the door...you hear everything in the hallway DON'T pay for partial ocean view...you have to be on the corner of the balcony ...stretching your neck to see ocean....disappointing Nice staff, good location....mixed feeling"

Capistrano Coast House

10/10 Excellent

"I highly recommend this property. I have never stayed at a hotel as clean as this property. The rooms were not big but rooms are not meant to hang out in… If you want to chill there’s an outdoor patio looking right at the ocean and the perfect place to have a drink and conversation. I liked it so much I’m making reservations for four more nights."

Beachfront Inn and Suites at Dana Point

8/10 Good

"Would have liked a 2nd waffle maker etc... to many people had to wait as you could only pour it & make it 1 at a time. Front desk guy was great"

The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and squeaky clean. The ocean view was spectacular. The bathroom was super clean, with a Dyson hair dryer. The massage at the Spa was amazing! The food at TAIKUN over-the-top! This second time was even better than the first! The common areas were very well maintained, with fresh yellow roses and orchids on every table. The valet was very polite, and the front desk was very helpful, explaining all the details. I’ve stayed here many times already, and keep coming back."

Blue Lantern Inn, A Four Sisters Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Top notch! Worth the price. My wife and I came for a night after our wedding and had breakfast dropped off in our room. We stayed in the tower / patio room and enjoyed breakfast over the harbor. Would definitely do it again."
