“Good Motel for Visiting Dana Point”

Reviewed 6 May 2013

This is a very nice motel but I would not call it a hotel. The doors of the suite room all open to the outside. That being said, this motel is nicely located right on the PCH in Dana Point not far off the I-5 but far enough away to not here the I-5 noise. It is right on the... More

“LA sandiego”

Reviewed 10 April 2013

The hotel was close to the beach and easy access to San Diego and Los Angeles. The room was modern and clean. The breakfast was outstanding. We enjoyed the jet bath tub. We had a suite and this gave us a home type feeling.

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Make sure all your friends know about this little spark of convenience and comfort right on the coast of Southern California. Dana Point is no longer the best kept vacation spot secret! More

“GREAT LOCATION, DIFFICULT ACCESS”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

We stayed at Marina Shores in connection with a recent visit by my sister-in-law. The hotel is long and narrow, which produces some odd inconveniences, not to mention parking difficulties. For example, the entrance is at the western end of the building, necessitating a long walk with luggage (they provide carts) if your room is at the other end. After... More

“Our stay was wonderful”

It is always a challenge for s to find hotels that are pet friendly. This hotel takes pet friendly to a whole new level. It's been our experience with other hotels that they dedicate certain rooms for pets. The rooms that are tucked away in a back corner someplace. This hotel gave us a 3 floor suite without segregating us.... More

Glad you enjoyed your stay and yes, we recognize that a pet is family too. There is a great old joke in our industry ... A man calls a hotel to make reservations and tells the manager, " I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well-groomed and very well behaved. Would you be willing... More

“Solid Good”

Reviewed 3 April 2013

Location: 4.5 - Staff/Service: 3.5 - Amenities: 3 I love the location of this hotel - close to the 5 freeway and 2 blocks from a beautiful state beach. The hotel itself is nice enough - lobby is beautiful. Parking was $10/day and space was very limited. Breakfast area gets crowded quickly and food is really generic...but the kids were... More

While our goal is to always be a "solid great" it was still nice that you noticed the little touches we add to make our guests' stays nicer - like the furniture out on the balconies and the jetted tubs in the guest rooms. We appreciate the constructive suggestions too as we are always looking for ways to improve our... More

“Not bad; just not wonderful”

Reviewed 2 April 2013

We received this booking through Hotwire as a hotel chosen for us in our category (3 star). The hotel was recently renovated and the rooms are comfortable and fairly quiet, despite our room fronting Pacific Coast Highway. The beds are WONDERFUL, by the way. When we checked in, the front desk clerk told us that we should have called the... More

Please accept my apologies for the confusion when you checked in. It's not our habit to steer people away from the online booking sites. They save guests a lot of shopping around for rates, but for detailed information on a particular hotel, it's always a good idea to check with the hotel directly, just to make sure of the accommodations....

Reviewed 14 March 2013

I was wandering around California in search of adventure, weirdness, employment, the meaning of life, and a new surf board. Infinity Surf is right up the street from this Best Western, so I decided to stay here. Called as I was driving around, found the room rate of $112 for the night to be spot on, and they had a...

Thank you for the great review and we're happy that we made you and your new surfboard so comfortable. Hang loose! More

“Very Nice Hotel / Very Bad Breakfast”

This hotel uses to be a Holiday Inn Express and is now a Best Western PLUS. It is a very Nice & Clean hotel and we enjoyed a King Suite with Balcony facing the ocean. Beautiful view! The only issue I had with this hotel was their Breakfast. I hated the fact that they used such cheap plastic eating utensils.... More

I'm very glad you enjoyed the accommodations here at the Marina Shores hotel and please accept my apologies for the plasticware in the breakfast room. We had actually upgraded it about two months ago and then had an order that was late so we had to bring out the old stock we had leftover. It just goes to show how... More
