Top Dana Point Preserve Hotel Reviews

Capistrano Coast House

8/10 Good

"The gentleman who checked us in (Aldo) was incredibly helpful and friendly. The woman at the front desk in the morning (name unknown) was not particularly helpful or friendly. We were told breakfast was from 8-10, but at 8:50, we got the last of it. Seemed odd they weren’t planning to serve anyone else coming later. We reserved a king room with a balcony but got a queen room without one. Property was well-maintained but a little offbeat. Probably not for everyone."

Dana Point Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great 1-night stay right in the harbor! Will do back!"

Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very good, friendly, and went above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and welcome. A surprise upon check-in was the $25 per day parking fee; I did not see that on the site when making the reservation. Breakfast is good. The location is fantastic. I would stay again."
