Top Salt Creek Beach Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Dana Point Doheny Beach

8/10 Good

"Nice location good restaurant helpful staff"

Dana Point Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"was good"

Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Right on Pacific Coast Hwy, across from Doheny Park. The back of hotel has a giant mural. My room is relatively big; has a separate living area with sofa bed and a TV, then a king sized bed area with access to single bath, its separate TV, and a balcony with view of the highway. Facility not the newest, but everything is functional, properly stored/cleaned. The bathroom even has a tub/shower slider chair for people with less physical means. We had a comfortable sleep both in king sized bed and the sofa bed (the latter was a surprise). Breakfast was good, it even has a machine that can make various type of coffees and hot drinks. Overall, a very happy stay for me and my kids. Would highly recommend."

Blue Lantern Inn, A Four Sisters Inn

10/10 Excellent
