    Husband and I stayed one night to catch a fishing charter scheduled for the following morning. The location was perfect... Walking distance to food, shopping, marina and beaches... Rooms were clean and the staff was polite and helpful... Other than the few issues listed below, we would definitely stay here again and recommend others give it a try... * The location of our room on the second floor, left us with no privacy, Unless we kept the drapes drawn, hotel guests stepping off the elevator were able to see directly into our room... *Room key issues- Need to update system. Locked out twice... *Paying to park in hotel parking lot

    Beautiful place. Safe areas to cross traffic.

    Beautiful place. Safe areas to cross traffic. Beautiful beach within walking distance. Nice selection of restaurants within walking distance and/or short driving distance. Had to make several U-turns until I understood how the roadways were connected.

    Lovely place to stay for decent rates and nice staff and pool! Clean and quick to all sites from Newport to San Diego. Stayed 40 years ago and it's the same great place. Nice some things stay the same. Must eat at top of Dana Point at Restaurant overlooking the Bay. Forgot name but really great prices for food and the normal price of California.

    Dana Point is such a beautiful gem!

    Dana Point is such a beautiful gem! There are so many things to see and do. We had done our research and didn't check much off the list since we were so content with everything right there in the harbor. We loved Dana Point very much and will definitely be back to see more!

    This place is very rustic and is need of repair but room was clean and beds were comfortable. The pool and jacuzzi are nice we enjoyed them. The breakfast was a nice touch! Good value and great location..nothing fancy!

    I love staying at the Marina Inn. Close to everything I like to do in Dana Point, especially the Maritime Festival. I really love how accommodating the staff is, especially Wendy and Christine behind the front desk. These ladies go above and beyond accommodating our needs. Thanks to these ladies, we were able to get our rooms together and check in early, as well as get our pizza we left in the fridge well after we had checked out. If management is reading this, give those ladies a raise!

    I had a full on ocean view! Steps to the ocean. Continental breakfast is included and it was good! Personel is very nice at the front desk too! Small hotel, with only about rooms, and some even come with full on ocean views and a fireplace in the winter time! Vaulted ceilings in my room added a special feeling too!

    Beautiful location and a quaint boutique hotel. The only con was the TV wasn’t working even after resetting and had very few channels and there is no internal kiosk for emergency needs such as pain medication. Otherwise, a beautiful and peaceful place with nice staff.

    Location was exactly what we expected. Our pool view room was clean but a bit on the small side. Many kids in the pool and louder than I wanted. Breakfast was only bare bones basics but the staff throughout the hotel were kind, helpful and made us feel welcomed.

    it was in a good location near the water and a short walk to the free trolley stop which took you around Dana Point, San Clemente or into Laguna Beach. There were several restaurants, shops and cafes within short walking distance from the hotel
