Anniversary Beach Getaway

Front desk staff was very nice, got a free upgrade & welcome gift since it was our Anniversary. Very convenient location, could see the beach from our balcony. Love the jetted big bathtub and comfy bed. We have stayed here 4 or 5 times & it's a favorite :)
Shannon, 1-night trip

This is a very nice hotel. Clean and friendly. The only issue is that the bathtub is very high and very unsafe!

Comfortable enough

It was within walking distance to Lantern Park : beach & Marina . Was a little noisy on the highway But that was due to it being Labor Day weekend I did enjoy my walks in the mornings. Breakfast was not my favorite Only because I enjoy over easy eggs , but had cereal coffee juice water and bagels.

Vacation stay

The bed was comfortable and loved the jetted hot tub in the room. Great location!! Very clean. Shower was luke water. Wished the room was cleaned at least one more time during the 4 night stay.
Michelle, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great quick stay. No old beach property smell or stickiness in rooms.
Lauren, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was okay, and worked for what we wanted.

Check in person was efficient, but not friendly or welcoming. You have to park in between support posts, so it was a little tricky. The room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable. There were stains on the loveseat. We had a balcony, but it overlooked a busy street. Overall the stay was fine, and worked for our purpose of going whale watching from Dana Point.
Sandra, 2-night trip

Beds poor sleeping.

The beds need to be upgraded.
