The Beachfront Inn & Suites at Dana Point

We booked this hotel months ago for a family vacation. I was so excited to get here. The pictures made it look very upscale and fancy. It is neither of those things. It's an old building that has been slightly remodeled. Our tv remotes only worked when they wanted to. We were put on the second floor, and one of my biggest pet peeves is being able to hear the people above you walking around. It was so bad. It sounded like a Riverdance competition. I don't even know what the reason was that those people were walking around so much. It went well past midnight. We barely got any sleep. Tha balconies are not private at all. The view of the ocean is beautiful. There is a train that goes by often. I'm sad to say that we won't be returning.

I stayed at The Beachfront Inn & Suites at Dana Point and overall had a pleasant experience. The staff was friendly, helpful, and very welcoming from check-in onward, which made a great first impression. Our room was clean, and the highlight of the stay was definitely the beautiful ocean view — palm trees and the ocean right outside made for a relaxing, scenic atmosphere.||That said, the property does show its age. The rooms are dated and could use some TLC. The furniture appears outdated, the windows could use a good cleaning, and our balcony door was difficult to slide and had a lock that did not work properly. Unfortunately, the hot tub was not heated during our stay, though it was clean.||Overall, this is a great spot for the location and views, and the staff does a wonderful job. With

Positive: Frank was a great clerk, appreciated his help Negative: access to beach

Great customer service, the front desk staff were very friendly, very welcoming and helpful. The location is on Highway Coastal 1 in Dana Point across the street from the beach BUT no direct access due to the train tracks, noisy as well. The room layout king suite made no sense, the bedroom not near the patio, I booked it to hear the ocean and instead heard the cooling system, loud throughout the night. Rooms were clean but dated, need a good paint job. Bed ok kinda too soft. Amenities- hot tub is a weird shape but very relaxing, clean, decks . Breakfast awful, processed cereal and danishes in a package. On a budget stay here, solid 2 star motel, clean

we had the two queen bed room which was nice had two separate TVs and one person had a whole room to themselves. We had a nice view of the ocean but the sliding glass door was hard to move back-and-forth the hotel is dated but the furnishings were good the beds were comfortable. The continental breakfast was basically packaged items, but also cereal and hot waffles, And fresh fruit. Getting to the room from the front desk is a bit of a maze. The hot tub was not warm, so we did not use it. You also have to navigate stairs and a bridge to get to the beach across the street. Although I’m sure you could drive there also and pay to park. We enjoyed our stay and would book again.
