Overview

Few destinations offer quality accommodations and a variety of recreation, entertainment, and scenery like that at Dana Point Marina Inn. The inn is the ideal place for both business and pleasure.

Dana Point Marina Inn is in an ideal location in Orange County right on the harbor, just a five-minute walk to Doheny State Beach, and only two blocks from Pacific Coast Highway. Guests can follow the highway south to San Diego or San Clemente, or north to Newport Beach, Mission San Juan Capistrano, and Laguna Beach. The hotel is also fairly close to Legoland, Disneyland, and Knott’s Berry Farm.

The Marina Inn features on-site amenities such as a fitness center and outdoor heated pool. Free perks include continental breakfast, parking, and a business center with all the necessities needed to conduct quick business. There isn’t a restaurant on premises, but the inn has special arrangements with area restaurants and may be able to provide discounts.

Vacationers and business travelers alike appreciate the many amenities of the luxurious suites and picture postcard harbor view rooms. The standard rooms are also spacious and comfortable with private balconies, refrigerators, hairdryers, air conditioners, and in-room coffeemakers. Some accommodations also feature kitchenettes and sitting areas, as well as fireplaces and whirlpool tubs.

While Dana Point, California, is a high-end waterfront destination, there are still budget-friendly options for accommodations that can help travelers visit without breaking the bank.

The rooms and facilities are starting to show their age but the room was large, clean and the bed very comfortable. The location is outstanding and a great value for the money.

Pros (+) Great location. Comfortable clean living area. We had fun hanging out on the deck.
