Decent for the price

We had already heard the hotel is planning on being demolished so not surprised that it was pretty run down. We brought our dog and stayed in one of the larger Suites which definitely looks like other pets have stayed which was fine. One night the room across from us was a bunch of young kids having a party so that was very disruptive and I should have notified the front desk. Overall, great location and friendly staff. The pool looked very nice and the room was spacious for our whole family.

Dana Point Marina Inn was a good deal with a great location. My only suggestion would be complimentary parking for guests ($15 per night...ouch!) and a healthier continental breakfast options. However, very quiet and nice cleaning staff. Thank You

I have been staying at this hotel for many years. It is a great location quiet because it’s not on the highway I used to want to keep this place a secret it was the best place for your money for those of us who are not rich. It’s not a resort. It’s just a place to sleep clean and safe however they are going to tear it down and probably build a very expensive place that I won’t be able to afford and that’s a shame. I’m not poor, but I’m not filthy rich either. The parking used to be free however the past few years I’ve had to pay $15 a night just to park my car but some filthy Rich guy, bought the marina from what I hear and they are destroying it so many of the great restaurants are already gone so they can tear it down so sad

Nice location but that is it.

Hotel itself- old, outdated. Carpet torn/stained in rooms and halls. Smelled clean and did not turn out feet black but needs replacing. Pool- not heated, hot tub- not hot enough. Breakfast- only edible thing is waffles. Coffee terrible. They are going to tear down and rebuild so they aren’t doing improvements. The only nice thing was location to catch ferry to Catalina. Also- no conditioner provided. Staff very nice. They deserve to have a nicer place to work at. Bathroom in room only has pedestal sink so little to no room to put out toiletries/ flat iron. Also had to put my trash outside for them to pick up. There was mildew and missing silicone in bathroom and our sink didn’t drain. There was thick layer of dust on dryer on wall and my sheets were clean but discolored.

That was a real disappointment bcuz we brought home leftovers to warm. Small fix-it, lampshade had taken a beating and was barely hanging on to pole. The free breakfast was very good.

Great location right on the harbor, perfect for a nice walk with my dog. Room was a good size with a kitchenette area and it was nice to have breakfast included. However, be aware that what Expedia lists as a $50 deposit for pets is actually a non-refundable cleaning fee. I booked this hotel assuming I would get part of this cost back when deciding which lodging to stay at. I would chosen a different place due to pet fees had I known.
