It was okay, and worked for what we wanted.

Check in person was efficient, but not friendly or welcoming. You have to park in between support posts, so it was a little tricky. The room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable. There were stains on the loveseat. We had a balcony, but it overlooked a busy street. Overall the stay was fine, and worked for our purpose of going whale watching from Dana Point.

Comfortable enough

It was within walking distance to Lantern Park : beach & Marina . Was a little noisy on the highway But that was due to it being Labor Day weekend I did enjoy my walks in the mornings. Breakfast was not my favorite Only because I enjoy over easy eggs , but had cereal coffee juice water and bagels.
