Overall Ratings & Reviews Beachfront Inn and Suites at Dana Point

I was aware that this hotel did not have a pool, but I figured jacuzzi would be good enough. It was not working, it was Luke warm by evening it was cold. I got the impression from staff that this was normal. The bathroom sink had a leak , I could tell it had been leaking for awhile the wood underneath was rotted. Every sliding door in this hotel does not have a screen. Would have loved to leave slider open to hear the ocean. But bugs were flying in. We were given 3 bed pillows not 4 like most hotels , 3 shower towels not 4. One tiny shower soap! At least there was breakfast. It was just okay. Will I stay here again. Probably not. Beach was not the best either. I would have really appreciated an apology or parking discount for the non working jacuzzi.

We clean hotel. Amenities were not kept up with like table ware, glass ware etc. needed to be restocked in rooms.

The photos are misleading; this place is quite outdated and significantly overpriced. We experienced a hard mattress, lumpy pillows, and poor amenities. The only redeeming qualities were the nice view and the helpfulness of the front desk attendant, which earned it two stars.

Staff was very nice

We were super excited to go to this hotel based on all the positive reviews; unfortunately, we were greatly disappointed with the hotel and location. Hotel is in poor condition, needs major remodeling. It offers a hot tub, but jets are barely working. The morning breakfast was a huge disappointment, we walked into a breakfast room to see what they had, and walked out without any food. Location is bad; yes, you can see the ocean from your hotel room, but there is a chain link fence all along the beach to prevent people from crossing the busy road and railroad tracks. They do have walkways available to get to the beach, but it is not ideal. The best part about hotel was $20 per night parking. We do not recommend to stay at this hotel, or around that area of Dana point.

The property has a very good location and it is safe and quiet. The rooms definitely need updating w new furniture and paint. The furniture is also sparse in the living room. It also has the worst breakfast of any place I’ve stayed . If I was going to be in the area again I would stay in another location.

This property is old and needs cleaning of sofas and bed linen, etc. I am attaching a photo of the pillow case in our room. I asked for more towels on second day of reservation and was told they were out, to please wait after they come out of dryer and they will bring them. I also asked for cleaning of the room on second day and was told, they do not provide that service for a two night stay. It was our first time at this facility and our last. It was disappointing to spend all that money on a junior suite with ocean view in that condition. I hope this review will help them improve this facility.

We would stay here again. The two king beds was the reason we booked at this location. Room was spacious which was nice for our family of 4. Room had an ocean view, Unfortunately the AC unit was incredibly loud and would wake us up throughout the night and the breakfast was pretty weak, those kept me from eating it 5 stars.

Stayed here for a family wedding. It was perfect for us and nice to be so close to the beach. Bed was very comfortable and room was spacious

Rooms were clean but outdated. Continental Breakfast was good. Across the street from the beach; railroad tracks and PCH. No pool just a larger spa. Nice but wouldn't stay there again!

Spacious very clean room with balcony & decent ocean view but a bit noisy. No swimming pool but large hot tub used mostly as a “ warm water pool” for kids which was near our room so noisy. Not far from walk over bridge to get to Beach so convenient for that a good restaurant. Also could hear foot steps from n room above. staff was great. Overall, rate good

Awful check in when we had a plumbing issue

The breakfast l wish you will provide more options in the future.

Old and not really aesthetically pleasing. Our tv didn’t work and the desk person worked hard to fix it. Parking was tight, but we always had a space. Construction on the beach, so views were unsightly, but that’s not the hotel’s fault. It was clean.

Loved the old school Pacific Coast Highway vibes and the ocean view from our room.

I did not like there was no pool. My bad for assuming that the big hot tub was a pool. The free breakfast is nice. The rooms are spacious with a view of the ocean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Trolley stop is just a few minutes walk. The do new new bed linen. All in all I would stay there again.

Great value for the price, this is not fancy or best of best but the pieces are all there, it is clean and had great parking. Elevator needed a tune up.

The facility looks nice on the outside. Parking is great. Front desk staff were friendly. However, the rooms & furniture need updated and cleaned pretty badly. Breakfast is sub-par and the breakfast area is minimal. The beach view is nice but the beach itself is hard to access due to railroad tracks and fencing plus two very long sets of stairs that would be very difficult for young families or anyone with physical limitations. I have included a picture of one set of stairs as well as the view of the hotel from the beach access point.

Great location, awesome staff, clean!

We had A great stay. The staff was helpful. It was A short walk across the street to the beach.
