Einmal und nie wieder
Pros:

Wir haben leider keinerlei positive erfshrung gemacht

Cons:

Mir hat Nichtgefallen das bei der Anreise bestritten wurde das der Parkplatz inklusive ist wie in der buchungsbestöätigung schriftlich festgehalten weiter konnten wir die ganze Nacht nicht schlafen da die Gäste über unserem Zimmer die ganze Nacht gefeiert geschrien und gestritten haben trotz 3 Mal vorsprechen beim Nacht Service der Unterkunft schaffe es das Personal nicht die Gäste zur Ruhe zu bewegen und wurde auch keine andere Lösung angeboten wie zb ein anderes Zimmer die Morgen Schicht mit welcher wir beim auschecken gesprochen haben bestätigte die Probleme mit den Gästen und versprach u s sich bei uns zu melden was leider nicht passierte ebenfalls liegt das Hotel an der Hauptstrasse und an der Bahnlinie was nachts zu hören ist wir würden diese Unterkunft nicht mehr berücksichtigen desweiteten dauerte unser Check out 30 Minuten weil der Mitarbeiter an der reception erst sein privates Telefonat beenden wollte

Beautiful Location for Last Minute Getaway
Pros:

Perfect location directly across from the beach.

Cons:

Room that we initially were assigned was extremely small and stuffy. Staff listened to my concerns and offered to change our room.

The fridges didn’t work in both rooms and spoiled fruit from previous stay was left. Otherwise everything was great.

Not sure why parking isn’t factored into price. The best western next door doesn’t charge for parking. With all the construction on PCH management should take that into consideration.

Magnificent
Pros:

The room was huge and right across from it was the ocean. We got a room with a balcony and it was so beautiful, we could just walk right out to the balcony and have a full view of the ocean.

Cons:

I loved everything about the room. It wad a short stay just one day and I would of loved to stay at least 2 to 3 days.

Awful experience
Pros:

The photos suggest a nice, comfortable accommodation. Unfortunately, my experience was very different.

My room had an outside-facing door and was located in a dark, secluded corner of the property, which made me feel very unsafe. But I checked in late, so I made the decision to stay for the night. There were quite a few apparently intoxicated guests milling about until approximately 3 a.m. Because I felt uncomfortable with the situation, I barricaded my door.

The room had cobwebs, what appeared to be mold, and a dank smell. Much of the room and its furnishings appeared to be in a state of disrepair. I also noticed that the elevator safety permit posted in the elevator appeared to have expired in 2023.

After a fearful, sleepless night, I left as soon as possible the following morning.

Because I had booked through Chase Travel, I shared my experience with them, and they contacted the hotel on my behalf to request a refund. The hotel refused, reportedly because I had stayed through the night. My travel advisor also told me that the refund would have been refused even if I had not stayed.
A truly awful experience, followed by an equally disappointing customer-service experience. I would NOT recommend staying here.

Great Stay
Pros:

Beach front Inn and Suites is a great place to stay. This stay can be summed up so easily, Very friend staff, clean comfortable suites, wide beach view, good breakfast and good location. A right turn out of the parking area and within five minutes or less you are in the main part of Dana Point.

Beautiful
Pros:

The gentleman at the counter that created us was so friendly and welcoming. The beach was gorgeous. Everybody was so nice that worked there. Our air conditioner didn’t work so that was really rough. We didn’t want to say anything because the water also stopped working. The people at the front counter were so nice and helpful, but I didn’t want to bug them because everybody was calling them. I guess a waterline had broken. The people that work for you in the front office should be given a raise. They were so kind and helpful during a very stressful time.
