Dana Point hotel rooms a the Independent

"Beautiful area around hotel. We enjoyed walking up and taking in the view. Great place to stsy right in the water."

"Loved this hotel, can’t wait to come back!"

"An older property with a facelift that is built into the cliff side gives European style vibes and easy beach access with an incredible view but prepare for lots of stairs and not so modern heat / air options. We had a plumbing issue with water and debris backing up into our bathroom sink overnight likely caused by years of people rinsing their sandy clothes in the sink which isn’t necessarily the hotel’s fault."

"Good service and love the location. The breakfast was great and it was clean."

"The room was nice, the view great. No mention when booking that the hotel was undergoing major renovation. The check in lobby was in basement parking area. Due to construction, there should have been some relief to the $45 a night parking fee and $35 a night resort fee."

"Nice older location, perfect for weekend get away."
