Blue Lantern Inn, A Four Sisters Inn

It was outstanding in every way!

This harbor front property offers beautiful views. It is located at the end of a very quiet street. The inn has an old world feel but the rooms are modern & had a window that actually opened which had a view of the harbor & a nice breeze. We were surprised to learn that the inn offers free wine & snacks every afternoon. This alone saved us quite a bit of money as the restaurants in the area are on the upscale side. We walked to Lantern Village which is a small downtown area with coffee shops & restaurants. As a San Diego native, somehow I have never been to Dana Point. However, after staying at Blue Lantern inn, I am now making it my life goal to be able to move to this area someday. For now, we will settle with coming back to the blue lantern inn.

Let's start with the good stuff. I enjoyed my stay at the Blue Lantern Inn. The evening cheese and wine service was genuinely impressive which added to the charm. Breakfast followed the same pattern: one standout signature dish that really hit the mark, but the rest being simple and familiar so just expect one.

...and then the bad stuff. I did run into some gross hiccups, a stain on the bedsheets and an eyelash on the pillowcase (see pics.) Not exactly what you hope to find when you first settle in at these high luxury prices. But the front desk handled it quickly and professionally, and housekeeping replaced everything right away.

Despite that issue, the inn has a unique atmosphere and a lot of heart.

The only thing missing was a full length mirror which could be placed behind the bathroom door or closet door. And, it being used as a shower. For elderly it’s a bit difficult to get in and out of. Otherwise beautiful hotel and staff. Thank you very much. And your chef is amazing.

Beautiful place. I enjoyed the homey feeling. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. The view was spectacular. I really enjoyed my stay. I would go back again.

Very clean, comfortable, very nice staff.

Hotel situated at end of cul-de-sac at north bluff of harbor - great views with no traffic and noise from roadways in hotel and rooms. Great afternoon wine/cheese as well as buffet breakfast offered. Good wifi throughout property; tv ready-programmed for cast/streaming of personal subscription services if desired and was easy to understand/use. Upscale bathroom fixtures/amenities. Spectacular staff! Will definitely be visiting again.

Beautiful setting!

Friendly helpful staff. Great huge room. Loved the fireplace.

Amazing views, staff is great, illy coffee maker, jacuzzi tub - just all around fantastic

Great breakfast inside or on the patio with view of the ocean.

Liebevolles, kleines Hotel nach LA genau das Richtige für uns; gute Restaurants in ca. 5 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen; je nach Zimmer auch einen tollen Ausblick auf den Jachthafen; Frühstück war übersichtlich aber wechselt und war dadurch nie langweilig und lecker; ab 16 h gibt es einen kleinen Snack und Drink (wirklich eine sehr schöne Geste);

Our entire experience at this idyllic bed'n'breakfast was absolutely delightful. A very attentive staff, a diverse and tasty breakfast buffet, appetizers and wine in the afternoon, quiet and clean rooms with beautiful views of the ocean, minutes from several whale watching experiences and walking trails, and at least a half dozen excellent restaurants within a five to ten minute walk from the inn! A special shout out to Connor at the front desk who accommodated our every need. We definitely plan to return!

Sehr schönes, gediegenes und freundliches Hotel. Super Lage, schönes Zimmer mit Sonnenaufgangbalkon und Sicht auf den Hafen und das Meer.
