Top Salt Creek Beach Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Dana Point Doheny Beach

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment we arrived everyone was super helpful. The valet greeted us and gave us options to use valet or self park. We chose self park and they helped with our bags! Jeff at the front desk was friendly and was able to accommodate us and get us on the same floor as our friends. We later came down for toothpaste and a toothbrush and he was more than happy to help us out. Greta the next morning assisted in varying tasks we had to accomplish for the break party we were In. The bridal suite was clean and decorated and came with coffee and water. It was the perfect room to get our bride ready in. Everyone we came into contact with was great! Can’t wait to go back!"

Dana Point Marina Inn

8/10 Good

"Good love great location"

Montage Laguna Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I had a truly marvelous weekend at Montage Laguna Beach. From the moment I arrived, everything was exceptional; the beautiful grounds, immaculate property, wonderful staff, and outstanding restaurants. The entire resort has a feeling of elegance and tranquility that makes it very easy to relax and enjoy every moment. One of the highlights was dinner at Studio. The meal was amazing, but what made the evening especially memorable was the setting. Sitting there at sunset with an unobstructed view of the sun going down over the Pacific was absolutely spectacular. It was one of those experiences that stays with you. The Montage is a truly special resort, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional Southern California getaway. I had a wonderful stay and very much look forward to returning."

10/10 Excellent

"The mattress needed to be replaced. There were craters on either side and made it uncomfortable."
