Dana Point Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Our 2nd time staying and we can’t wait to go back!"

Residence Inn by Marriott Dana Point San Juan Capistrano

8/10 Good

"I was not impressed with the breakfasts. As a matter of fact we tried the breakfast 4different days. We finally gave up and ate breakfast out the other days we were at the hotel. The oatmeal cereal was lukewarm warm, the bagels were a poor example of a bagel. The eggs were cold. We have eaten at other Courtyards and had excellent food. The room was clean. Most importantly the staff was friendly and very helpful."

Best Western Plus Dana Point Inn-by-the-sea

10/10 Excellent

"So obviously the location was our first purpose for booking let me tell you I have traveled for work and spent many of nights in hotels for business or pleasure I have met many staff members over the years, all the stuff that I ran into at this Best Western were excellent friendly, welcoming and very helpful when the times came I had an issue with the Expedia looking process and being disappointed and one of the staff members Napoleon without hesitation made one of my nights even more awesome than it already began and it had nothing to do with the company just the booking agent Expedia. Whomever manages this place and hires their employees as a small business owner myself and Prides myself in whom works for me and how they manage themselves I feel like this property owner and management team takes great pride versus just finding whomever they can off the streets to fill a void. Thank you Best Western Dana Point"
