Great stay. Beautiful location, overlooking the Dana Point Harbor. Lovely outdoor patio that you can enjoy the sunshine from. Their wine and cheese hour was awesome, with different wines to choose from and delicious snacks. My flight from the East Coast arrived early and they were so kind to accommodate a morning check in for me. Staff was very nice! I was able to walk to restaurants and eateries in the area, which was amazing since I didnt have a car with me. Would recommend!

A quaint little inn in Dana Point. Staff were friendly and the room was spotlessly clean. The inn is not on the harbour front as a map suggests, but there is plenty parking. This establishment is probably best suited to clientele in their golden era. It’s charming but not for youngsters!
