This hotel is located right across from the beach. My room was spacious and had a full kitchen. I had some issues with my cable box, but the staff was able to resolve them. My room was on the backside of hotel and I was above the laundry room which wasn't the best, but other than that the room was great!

Everything about this stay was fantastic, the only downside of our stay was that we only booked for a couple of nights. The staff were all so sweet and the area is fantastic. I am almost hesitant to leave this review because I want to keep this a secret, because we will absolutely be returning and for a longer stay next time!

Great stay for our quick trip. Loved the free bikes for touring Dana Pt , good access the beach, but you have to walk across a pedestrian bridge over the train tracks- not as bad as it sounds. Price was high, mainly due to the music festival. Room was clean, cozy and nice to have a full kitchen.
