Dana Point hotel rooms a the Independent

"Property was in a great location with updated rooms. The pool was nice and the service at the pool For drinks was convenient. Would definitely stay again! Parking is a bit pricey with really no alternate options but valet/self park for 50/45$ respectively."

"Love this hotel, we would come back again. All of the details in the design, the location, complimentary e-bike use, super cute rooms, lovely view, staff was friendly and accommodating, breakfast and coffee was really great. I was so in love with all the bougainvillea on the property, the tiles, the record player in our room. So modern yet quaint and unique. My only note is that the rooms are tiny. It was fine for just my husband and myself. It’s just smaller than a standard room. Our feet turned black walking around in our room barefoot but I don’t know if that comes with the territory of a beach front property. All good though, like I said we would still return without a doubt. "

"Awesome stay! Very safe and accessible to everything. My grandkids loved it . Our room was amazing ! 2024. I would request that again. Parking and food prices very high. "

"Staff 5 Stars!!!! Love the view of the ocean. They also had Boogie Board for the kids. The room was very roomy! They just have to update the sofa mattress."

"Great hotel, well maintained, clean, very nice and helpful staff. I found the bed a bit soft and wish that breakfast, which was good, had included fish choices. "

"Perched atop a seaside bluff in the upscale Monarch Beach neighborhood of Dana Point, this resort offers sweeping Pacific Ocean views and a private beach club accessed via a charming tram ride—serving as a blissful gateway to California coastal luxury."
