i had a wonderful time here, especially since my last stay felt rushed. the location was great for strolling around the beautiful marina, and i appreciated the helpful staff who genuinely cared about our experience. our room had a lovely balcony overlooking the harbor, perfect for relaxing with morning coffee.

breakfast options were too limited.

The Marina Inn provides a lovely experience with its ideal location by the harbor, making it convenient to explore the nearby restaurants and shops. The room was spacious, equipped with a fridge/freezer combo, and the beds were comfortable with ample pillows and blankets. Although I was disappointed with the breakfast options, the staff offered excellent service, such as allowing me a late checkout for a swim.

Breakfast options were limited during my stay.

Waking up to the Pacific view is a vibe! The Marina Inn's location is spot-on—stroll to Gemmell's or grab a slice at Beach Harbor Pizza. Plus, the staff? Super friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home just steps from the harbor.

Now, let's keep it real, the hotel could use some TLC. Some curtains looked a little worse for wear and the dust bunnies were having a party in the corners. A cleaner touch would really elevate the experience!

wouldn't hesitate to stay there again

Great location right by the marina! My room was a king suite with a kitchenette, fridge, and microwave. Loved having a balcony overlooking the water to enjoy morning coffee. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Breakfast had plenty of options like bagels and waffles, and the pool area was nice, too!

I loved the convenient accessibility at Dana Point Marina Inn, especially with its lovely balconies overlooking the harbor. It made for a peaceful spot to enjoy morning coffee while admiring the beautiful ocean views.

Breakfast options could use more variety, especially for seniors.

We really enjoyed our stay! The marina location made it easy to walk to shops, cafes, and even catch a boat tour. My girls loved exploring nearby Baby Beach and the surf shop right across the street was a hit for renting beach gear.

My children wished the breakfast had more options than just waffles and cereal. A better variety would really enhance the experience for families.

A Tranquil Escape by the Marina!

We had a delightful stay, enjoying morning waffles by the pool. The serene atmosphere was perfect for relaxation, complemented by scenic views. Nearby, we loved exploring local ice cream shops and restaurants. Don't miss the chance to rent paddle boards and soak up the sun. it’s an unforgettable experience!

Perfect for families but a bit worn

The location was spot on! Right next to the beach and easy access to local shops, couldn't ask for more. The staff? Really good, they really went out of their way to help us settle in and enjoy our stay. And the pool area had tons of seating, we felt like we were on vacation.

Just a good pick for an overnight stopping in Dana Point with best value. The check-in was efficient, even with a long line. Just be aware that the hot water might be off during your stay.
