Dana Point Marina Inn

6/10 Okay

"My two daughters and I stayed in order to attend the Festival of Whales. The location was perfect for our needs. The property however is in great need of updating. It is quite run down. The walls were marked and dirty, the carpet was torn, the towels and sheets were threadbare, tiles were missing in the bathroom, there was rust in the bathtub, there was a shelf missing in the bathroom leaving no where to place toiletries, and there was a cockroach on the floor in our room the day we checked out. The front desk staff member removed our parking fee for the trouble of the pest. I cannot recommend staying here."

San Clemente Inn

2/10 Terrible

"Worst hotel I’ve ever walked into in my life. From the moment I walked through the front door the front desk staff was judgmental., smug, rude, and un accommodating. You would be better off, taking your money and starting it on fire to get a better value. I do not recommend that anyone ever stay at this hotel unless they want to be treated like they are less than human. This is not a resort of any kind. It is literally a Chuck E. Cheese pizza with clowns working."
