Top Salt Creek Beach Hotel Reviews

Dana Point Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Na"

The Ranch at Laguna Beach

8/10 Good

"Overall it's a good hotel. They have an extra special amenity with the golf course even though it's only nine holes it's still in great shape and fun to play. However, there is one little bother which is there is no cell phone service at the hotel. They should invest in a cell tower for the prices they charge.. the other problem is signage which is very poor from the highway and could lead to an accident. So be careful entering."
