Even though the view on the sea was only partial, the price offered at the very last minute was a very good value - the room huge and the service very nice. Highly recommended. More

This hotel was very very ungracious about rescheduling my stay. More than 24 hours ahead of time I contacted them and tried to reschedule. They said fine but they would charge me 100% of my rate. All sorts of hotels (regardless of posted "policy") would have accommodated me. I travel a lot, and have been so accommodated by many hotel... More

This hotel has gorgeous garden decor outside, the rooms are spacious with a mini kitchen, and the ocean view is spectacular! The staff is extremely attentive. The beach is right across the street, and there are several restaurants within walking distance. The Coast Highway is quite busy during the day, and the trains are right there (the whistle blows right... More

I give this motel an average rating only because I didn't like the Dana Point location. The motel itself was awesome, but with the train whistle (yes, it's a bit annoying, not "quaint" like some have said) and PCH running right in front of the motel, I would've picked a motel elsewhere. The front desk staff was a 5. The... More

Just had a nice trip to Dana Point with my Mother. We usually stay at The Blue Lantern Inn which has been a favorite of ours for many years. This time we stayed at Dana Point Inn by the Sea for a change. We were not disappointed at all. Our room was beautiful ( #214 ) we had a beautiful... More

My son and his wife live in the area and we were in town to take care of some family business, last minute. I called this hotel receiving excellent service from the front desk quickly making arrangements for our one night stay. The exterior areas are beautiful and the rooms have recently been updated with granite in the kitchenette area... More

The Dana Point Inn By the Sea is a charming, family run hotel with so many pluses! The rooms are lovely and large, the staff are courteous and friendly, the free breakfast offers many choices and is convenient, the beach view is lovely and access is just a short walk away. The hotel wraps around a beautiful little courtyard garden... More

We stayed for 2 nights in the middle of August and found this a very pleasant hotel. We had a room, with balcony, facing the beach, well worth the extra. The beach is a short walk along the pacific coast highway and over a bridge. The beach is pleasant and at the weekends and holiday periods there are lots of... More

The hotel is just off the highway and a short walk to a bridge over the highway to the shore. Even with some fog, we enjoyed the access and walked twice during our overnight stay. The room was in excellent condition and we really enjoyed the courtyard in the middle of the surrounding hotel rooms. The fountains helped to mask... More
