Top Dana Point Preserve Hotel Reviews

Dana Point Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"always a great stay at this property! love the close proximity to the marina, Baby Beach, Heritage park, etc. LOVE the free summer trolley stops within walking distance! they take you into Laguna Beach, which is great to get to the Sawdust festival. even with the construction nearby, it's a great spot for a quick getaway. Staff is consistently helpful and friendly! BTW, LOVE the hot breakfast! my only sticker shock was the snack machine - $4 for a regular sized M&M peanut?!?! $11 for bottled water!! fyi, bring your own snacks lol. i know DPMI is not to blame; just a big surprise :}"
