Hotel personnel was very friendly. The hotel was conveniently located near PCH and I-5 and next to the beach. One issue was that the hotel seems a little old and is going through renovations. A/C in our room was not working properly. It was too warm through the night. We reported this issue to the front desk, but nothing was done about it. Beds were average, although the rooms were very clean. Parking was also free and easy to reach.

The hotel was in the perfect location. The rooftop lounge was fantastic and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and perfect for a family. We will be back!

The location of this property is amazing we had a beautiful view from our room. We were on the second floor and unfortunately, it stank of what I can only describe as cat pee. The entire floor we walked through smelled and so did our room. It was almost too much for me even to fall asleep. I see that you are making reservations so I hope replacing carpets is one of them as I assume this will assist with this problem.

Bed is hard, other than this, the staff have all been friendly.

Great location, helpful and responsive staff. The building had some roof leak issues and we had to change rooms. Our trip occurred during the atmospheric river rain storm.

I don’t recommend this place. You can’t check in until 4pm. The day is over! They charge for a bottle of water and $40 to park! Nicole and dime you to death! Do NOT recommend

The front of house and valet were Super courteous, helpful and kind. The wait staff for breakfast were unavailable, then condescending and rude!! We had a 'stuffy' and very unfresh smelling room at first, with a view of the large garbage bins in back. When my young daughter began 'sneezing' after an hour, they upgraded us to a frontside ocean view/breezy room! What a relief as staying for 2 nights it was so much more pleasant!

Very clean, staff very friendly. I would recommend to a friend.

This is the best location in Dana Point. See and hear the waves. Walk the beach is super easy.

Love it

The location of this hotel is great, walking distance to multiple beaches. The staff is helpful and friendly. My only complaint is the noise, especially in our room. Our room was outside of the rooftop lounge, which was noisy until 10:00 PM every night, the highway was also easily heard, and also the train. If you are given a room near the rooftop lounge and try to sleep before 10:00 PM, request a different room.

Fabulous hotel in location close to beaches and amenities. Hotel staff was friendly and gracious and quick with items like extra bedding, towels and toddler crib. We ate at and loved the rooftop bar with food served from downstairs. The pool was warm and everything was very clean.

Amazing staff, super friendly and accommodating. Property is slowly showing its age but extremely clean and well cared for. I will absolutely stay there again and again.

Its just a nice place to stay

Sewer smell

$40 per night to Park was a bit much. They are going to start renovations so the property was kind of rundown. No housekeeping unless you ask. Services were lacking as well as their restaurant

AC in room did not work. Bathroom was not clean. Rundown in general.

The hotel was wonderful and the location perfect. The only drawback was the layout of the bathroom. The shower door couldn’t be opened all the way because it hit the toilet. Just a strange arrangement. Sliding glass doors instead of hinged doors would solve the problem.

We enjoyed our stay immensely. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was nice with a great view of the ocean and the food in the restaurant was delicious. Overall it was a wonderful visit.

I took my children and grandchildren to this hotel for a NYE party we had been invited to and got 3 rooms for 3 days. The valet and cleaning people were amazing and there is great coffee in the lobby all day which I loved. It's also close enough to walk to the beach The only issue I had was parking! We needed two vehicles for everyone. Mine was $40 a day plus we tipped every time we went somewhere (which was often) since it's not the valet's fault there's no free parking. So, by the end of the three days it had cost us quite a bit. Our other vehicle is a large truck that didn't fit in the parking garage so it needed to be parked around the corner. So half the family had to walk to and from that spot every time we went somewhere, which again was frequently. Upon check-in, the front desk said they wouldn't charge us for the truck since we were paying for one vehicle and it was not our choice to walk, we were forced into it since the parking structure was too short. However, nobody communicated that to the check out staff and at checkout they tried to charge us for the 3 days for both vehicles even though we had been told otherwise. The checkout desk guy basically told us he didn't care what someone else had told us and he was charging us.That is not a good attitude at all. It bothers me we had to argue with him and refuse to pay it for him to finally oblige. Unfortunately, one person soured an otherwise good trip at the end.

Pet friendly means you pay $150 for your pet. That’s not mentioned on the website. It was more than the room at my he winter rate. Ridiculous.

Everything was great and friendly staff.

Property is alright, nothing extravagant. However, the WiFi is absolute crap!! Most of time was barely one bar signal and kept disconnecting. NOT what I expect from a Hilton property especially as my main intention was a nearby getaway to plan my 2024 (which I needed to view some videos and materials). The videos (YouTube) would not even load because the WiFi was so bad. Really shameful in this day and age. Also...the property (lobby, some rooms, etc) stunk of marijuana. I know it's legal now...but simply stunk up the place.

Pretty beach views and clean rooms, dog friendly. The restaurant was understaffed and we were unable to eat breakfast there due to long wait times. The rooftop bar was nice but over priced.

The hotel staff was wonderful and very very helpful for everything.

Warm cookies at check-in were great.

Room was clean, but it's obvious the hotel is in a state of disrepair. Pealing wallpaper, shower door that wouldn't close... Needs a major uplift especially for the rates they are charging. Doesn't seem to be living up to the Hilton standard.

The property needs updating. Patio’s off of room and property need to be maintained and kept clean. The restaurant is freezing cold. Food was good but I was too cold to enjoy. The shower door should be a sliding shower door, the bathroom is too small to have a door that opens out and the tub needs to be replaced or refinished.

All staff are friendly. Parking is very quite expensive $39.00 per night, Breakfast is available (Not included) for $25 per person for a breakfast buffet. The hotel is located right next to the freeway. Approx. 10~15 min walking distance to nearby Starbucks & restaurants.

The view

I love this place. The staff is great, the room service is great and the location is awesome. The beach is across the street. I had to have the sheets changed on one bed for stains and hair. My hope is that it doesn't happen to anyone else. I will stay here anytime I am in the area.

Excellent property!
