“This harborside inn places you right where you want to be in Dana Point. The outdoor pool and hot tub add appeal, though the overall impression is of a somewhat timeworn property. I think that the friendly staff and unbeatable location still make it a worthwhile choice for a budget-conscious traveler.”
