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.

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.
