It was horrible and awful
Pros:

The staff was nice

Cons:

The rooms we asked and paid for was 1 king bed room and a room with 2 standard beds. We got a double bed the size of a closet and 2 king beds instead of standard. The room smelled bad. Cracks in the floor in the bathroom and you couldn't shut the bathroom door without stepping one foot into the tub to shut the door. The rooms definitely didn't match the pictures and it's definitely not a 8.2 rating. Can't sleep due to wondering if someone was going to break into the room or not. Extremely displeased and if I could've left I would've but the family was tired been on a long drive to get here. I would like to get a full refund because what was presented was not what we got or paid for in advance. The iron is rusted.

Pretty views, but it was just OK
Pros:

We like that it was across from the water and not too far from things in town to do

Cons:

Well, I’m gonna be realistic. It’s old. I think they’ve tried to update the insides as best they can but anytime there’s anything across from the water you’re gonna have issues so it’s an OK property but for the price I’d look elsewhere. We paid over $300 and it was an OK stay something was wrong with the elevator that would take us to the area we needed to go to, and so we had to walk upstairs and lug our luggage and I had a elderly mother with me so that was an issue, but not that big of a deal we made it work.

A Retreat with An Unbeatable View
Pros:

This was our first time staying at this hotel. We’re a local couple who wanted a weekend staycation near the beach and this place hit all the marks. Located on PCH amidst a strip of other small condo-style hotels, The Beach Front Inn & Suites is the quaint, calm retreat that spouts plenty of romantic and relaxing opportunities. The location, despite being ON HWY 1, was relatively quiet without any traffic, even given that it’s the start of the summer beach hype. We loved the communal jacuzzi located in the center courtyard with the straight shot view to the ocean. Our single king room was spacious and had a home-like vibe that made it a welcoming place to entertain our friend for an artsy and beach-filled afternoon. We also loved the complimentary 8-10am daily breakfast that was stocked with all the hotel basics: fruit, cereal, pastries, waffle maker, and of course—coffee! Essential! If I had critiques it might be that we had some slight overhead noise from the second floor one night (the floor must be a little thinner) and the deposit + parking fee ($130 total) was a bit steep considering the comparable next-door hotel options. But—given the final thing we truly enjoyed about this hotel: the staff (who were above and beyond on their logistics and hospitality game, friendly, incredibly helpful and also incredibly hands-off when not needed—thank you for being both by the way!), we had an unbelievably lovely weekend here at Dana Point’s Beach Front Inn & Suites. Overall, a rejuvenating and intimate weekend. Very much recommend for when you want to leave the kids with grandma for the weekend or reconnect with a group of friends. Thanks Beach Front Inn & Suites & thank you Deejay for the extra help with our accommodations!
