Dana Point Marina Inn

4/10 Poor

"Was disappointed in room cleanliness. Desk chair was ripped, dirty and needs to go in the trash. I was quite shocked that management would leave a chair in that condition in the room. The toilet did not flush well. I would not recommend or stay there again. For the price we paid it was very disappointing. "
