vacation gone bad

Planned this trip of a lifetime to do some deep sea fishing and enjoy the beech, had this hotel booked for months and when we arrived into town after hours of driving 2 hours early we called to see if we could check in early and they said to check with them at 2 we called back and they said check in was 3 so we ate killed some time and went in at 3 , room still not ready and they hoped it would be ready in 30 minutes it was not ready until 3:45 . Seemed to be a big event at this hotel and we were not part of it so we took a back seat that's fine. room was very dated , jacuzzi tub leaked. We checked out the next day due to family emergency and we got charged for having to leave early even though I am pretty sure they had no problem renting the room ,the parking at this hotel is a nightmare . Very pretty on the outside but we will not stay here again way to much money for what you get.

Amazing location in the heart of Dana Point without breaking the bank. Used the pool and enjoyed the views. Ate breakfast as a family each morning. Their coffee machine SLAPS. Family friendly. Water bottle filling stations nice feature. Only complaints: Had to request fresh towels a couple of times. Super slow elevator. Don’t love the daily parking fee. Felt excessive even though I was aware prior to booking.
