"Marina Inn at Dana Point."

Overall Score4.0/ 5

Although this hotel is a little bit older (1970) I found it to be clean and very comfortable. I have recommended it to friends and family very often. Your staff is amazing. Everyone here is helpful and welcoming. Sammy was a great. He made everything easy. He upgraded our room and fixed it so we could stay an additional night without having to move to another room. Very efficient and cordial. He was the anchor in the storm.
