Clean room, just aged. Even though it is now “non-smoking”, reminiscence of smoking in the past is still in the curtains & carpet. Slept with the balcony open. The location can’t be beat. Would stay again but in a room that was never a smoking room.

The staff was lovely, the room was decent, the bed was very comfortable, I slept so so good. Breakfast was included which was nice, we were hoping for some protein in the mix but it was mainly cereal, oatmeal, bagels and muffins. As a couple who don't eat many carbs, there wasn't much to choose from but we made it work. The place overall feels a little dated but the Inn as a whole was good for the price and we loved it was in walking distance to the harbor and alot of other great spots. If you're looking for a reasonably priced spot near the harbor this is a good choice.

When we arrived the room was hot and stuffy. The bathtub had a rusty hole and the pedestal sink was too small to accommodate our things. The curtain appeared broken due to not fully closing. There was heavy equipment trimming and tearing down trees down from my room. At 7:30 am the next day the same equipment was now outside our room. We left for the day. Returned to rest for the evening activities only to have the equipment working outside our room. The manager was willing to refund us a night The only thing good about this hotel was the location. We will not return to this hotel the next time we visit Dana Point
