Everyone at this hotel is so kind and helpful. The rooms are clean and functional. The breakfast is great. The beach is 2 blocks away or the pool works for a quick dip or sunshine. You have easy on and off to the 5 freeway. 3 luggage carts. Plenty of parking. There is a bathroom lobby on the second floor. They are getting a brand new gym. Excellent snack center. Easy walkable hotel in Dana Point!
