This hotel has a fantastic view of the ocean and harbor, making for a beautiful stay. The rooms are newly remodeled and pleasant, but I found the noise from neighboring rooms a bit distracting. Service was mixed; while some staff were very accommodating, I experienced delays that frustrated my plans. Overall, it offers decent amenities but isn't quite at the level you'd expect for the price.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel! The breathtaking ocean views really made my experience special, and the service was outstanding from start to finish. The rooms were not only modern and clean but also made for a comfortable retreat. However, the dining prices felt a bit on the higher side, which was a minor drawback. Overall, I loved my visit, and I would highly recommend it.

The hotel offers a pleasant stay with good amenities and a fantastic location near Dana Point harbor. My experience at the spa was lovely, and the staff at the front desk were helpful. However, I was disappointed that my room, which was supposedly an ocean view, had a significant obstruction, and the dining options were limited.
