Carol, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I had a wonderful stay! The staff were incredibly friendly, the hotel was spotless, and the breakfast was amazing. I definitely plan to return. My only minor issue was that housekeeping inquired about our checkout progress with 40 minutes left. We were already packing and preparing to leave, but it did make us feel a little rushed at the end.

Julie, 10-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice hotel in a nice area. We selpt well and the breakfast was good. Nothing special but satisfying. Our issues were with the cleanliness of the room. Carpet was a bit old and dirty and there was a musky smell. With that being said, it served it's purpose and we enjoyed our weekend. We would stay here again.

This hotel is old and not very well kept up. It is dirty, the bathroom had mold on the ceiling and the overall cleanliness of the room was sub par.
2-night trip

6/10 Good

The Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel is a good choice for a Dana Point stay. I’d rate it average to good—nothing flashy, but it gets the job done. The staff are genuinely friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The location is a big plus, just a short walk to the beach. Rooms are comfortable, though they could use a bit of updating. Overall, a reliable spot for a convenient and pleasant visit!
Harout, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay for what we paid for! Stayed here for a friends wedding and it was just what we needed for one night. Spacious room and comfortable bed as well
