Comment: This place is disgusting.Checked in with my family and service animal. We wanted a featherless room, quiet. We were put into a room with feathers and on the side of the train. Between allergies and the train we were up all night. My husband requested us to be moved where the front desk girl said she would “waive” the pet fee for the inconvenience but our dog isn’t just our pet, he’s my autistic child’s REGISTERED service animal. The next room we got was just gross. Not clean, and slapped together. For the price you’re better checking in right down the road at the double tree in Dana point. As a travel advisor, I’ll be reporting this to Marriott as this is NOT standard. This hotel needs to be gutted and remodeled desperately, and the staff needs to be also!

Comment: I’m writing this to give my appreciation to Tristan. On May 14th i went to celebrate my birthday in the OC area. My phone had died and since I’m not from the area I rely on navigation to make my way around places. I got lost trying to find my way home and had no luck at all. With my phone being dead I had no directions to get home. After driving for a long time in the dark at almost 1:00 in the morning, feeling completely lost not knowing where I was, I decided to stop at the first hotel I came across to ask for help. I ended up at this hotel. When I got to the front desk I was greeted by Tristan. I explained my situation and he didn’t hesitate to help me by letting me use a charger to get my phone back to the battery it needed. He made me feel very welcomed and kept assuring me I’m okay and that I’m going to make it back home. Tristan also provided me with water as well which I really appreciated, and offered me anything to eat in case I was hungry. Before I left I thanked him so much for what he did for me and that it meant the whole world to me. He made my birthday 100 times better and thanks to him I was able to get home safe. He gave me a couple pieces of chocolate for my birthday which really made me happier. Tristan is truly an amazing person and anyone who meets him is blessed to cross paths with him. Thank you Tristan for helping me make it back home. I appreciate you more than words can explain.

Comment: This hotel is probably one of my favorites. I stayed here for quite a while when I was relocating for work. The staff was very helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive. The rooms were big, nice and clean with lots of open space to either have friends over or for a toddler to play. The kitchen was the average size of a long term hotel (smaller than I’m used to, but definitely still useable). The amenities were great. The location is perfect as it allows easy and fast access to Interstate 5. My only two gripes are that the AC is a little louder than I would like and if you will be cooking a lot, id recommend getting a box fan and cracking a window to get the air moving. Otherwise, a very pleasant experience!

Comment: Without a doubt, this is the worst hotel Ive ever visited. Need pillows? Theyll come in and count how many you already have. Theres a quota! From the carpet to the towels and sheets...all dingy, dirty, and smelly. The staff is argumentative and stingy. The air conditioning is extremely loud. The complimentary waters are kid-sized...and yes, theyll only provide one per guest. We have ONE extra blanket because...yes...that is the quota per room. Ive been all over the world, and trust me...Marriott will be hearing about this experience. The name should be immediately removed from this property.Disgusting!Stay anywhere else. Dont risk your health or your sanity. This hotel looks, smells, and is run like a prison.

Comment: We loved almost everything about this hotel. The staff was great. The room was very nice and clean. We stayed in a suite with a small kitchen. It was fully equipped. It even had a dishwasher. The room was reasonably priced as well. My only complaint was the furnace or air conditioner was SO loud when it kicked on. To the point it woke us up every time and scared our kids. It seemed to be in a locked closet right next to the beds.

Comment: Hotel’s wi-fi would go out every 15 minutes and we would have to go to settings to reconnect. Could not make any outgoing phone calls - if there was a ringing it would end in “call fail”. Could not order and e-books for my Kindle e-reader. Front desk tried to help but could not fix the problem. We stayed 8 nights and when I asked the manager “meghan” she refused to give us any compensation. I believe the problem may have been due to our room being next door to their electrical storage room.I Do Not recommend this hotel!

Comment: I recently had the pleasure of staying at Residence Inn in San Juan Capistrano, and I can confidently give it a glowing 5-star review. From the moment I arrived, the staff impressed me with their friendliness and personable approach. Alex, in particular, did a fantastic job checking me in and assisting me as a gold member, ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience. The breakfast buffet is the perfect way to start the day, offering a delicious variety of options. Overall, I must say this Marriott property stands out as one of the best ones Ive encountered for its exceptional service. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Comment: Great Family spot, close to the beach and close to soccer fields and perfect if youre planning to play a tournament in the area. Room and restrooms were very clean. Restaurants close by to the entrance of the inn. (I recommend the pizza spot next to the Inn). Altogether, a very pleasant experience.

Comment: The beds are comfortable, the shower was fairly dirty, and I couldnt get myself to use it. Ordered in room service, and the young blond lady that brought the food was not in a good mood and was also banging on the door obnoxiously and rolling her eyes when I opened the door. Needless to say, the price doesnt justify what youre getting. My stay was from 06/17/23-06/18/23.

Comment: Its relatively clean, but its next to the fwy which is incredibly loud. There is a nightly parade of cars with loud mufflers. Its between a car dealership and an old mobile home park. The hotel is OK but for this price, the surrounding area should be more upscale.

Comment: Got together with sisters and their dogs at this Marriott in Dana Point. Location is convenient, theres an Albertsons about 1 mile away, the harbor is about 2 miles and the I-5 ramps are close by. The staff is so friendly and welcoming, especially to our dogs! We ate @ a restaurant called What A Dish that also welcomed your furry family and they had dog cupcakes for them! The weather also cooperated, we had a cool but sunny weather and we enjoyed our harbor walks!

Awesome amenities they had a pool, hot tub, putting green, basketball court etc. If you ever have an event here theres a lot of extra parking space. Not an amazing view from the rooms, however youre just minutes away from walking trails to the beach and to downtown SJC. Cant wait to explore this region more and stay here again!

Comment: Pros: Beautiful hotel in a very convenient location close to all of the beaches (10 min drive in any direction). Next to Costco and Albertsons which is AWESOME since our room had a full kitchen. Well taken care of, extremely kind workers, beautiful pool/hot tub and basketball court with an awesome view, surprisingly great breakfast (granted some days are better than others). Love the shape and setup of our 1 bed full kitchenette room with pullout couch, very spacious.Cons: Didn’t realize we needed to ask front desk for kitchen soap, scrubber, pots and pans. No big deal, now you know! Exit the hotel parking lot from Doheny park road rather than Stonehill drive, it’ll save you a headache. Could have a little better breakfast selection aimed for kids. Just so you know, your room won’t be cleaned unless you’re there for more than 5 days! So just ask for more towels or trash bags from the front desk when you need them. Yes you can sometimes hear a train from your room, but honestly it barely catches my attention.

Comment: I had an extremely enjoyable stay here. I was on a long work trip and needed a decent home base. Marriott Residence Inn at Dana Point deli ered. The place is very near to the beach and really good restaurants. The Dana Point Trolley stops right on front of the lobby entrance, so it could not be any more convenient.As a Titanium member, I expected excellence and I got it. The front desk staff was superb. Cristiane made my wife and I feel so special during our anniversary reunion. Siobhan was always ready to resolve all my problems and Alexander Tate always went the extra mile with any requests.Finally, Carmen and Jacqueline Mendoza on the cleaning crew gave my home away from home a great refresh consistently every week. I hope to return soon and enjoy the OC with Marriott. Hopefully with the same outstanding staff.

Comment: This place was great, and the staff made it even better. Breakfast is included in your stay, so be mindful when you book this hotel because, depending on the booking site you choose, you might be given the option to choose a package that includes breakfast. Also, if you purchased a package that includes parking, let them know so that they can give you your parking pass instead of charging you for it. Like most other places, housekeeping does not come during your stay, unless it’s under certain circumstances. However, you can request at the front office extra towels or anything else you might need. This hotel is located at a great spot near Dana point Harbor and restaurants or near the beach. I stayed here for work and felt super comfortable.

Comment: Bloody looking handprint on the couch, wrappers next to the TV, a dirty shower curtain, and a view of the roof out the windows are what you can expect if you are a Bonvoy member and book the nicest room (king bed with separate living room). Also missing was a frying pan or dish soap.

Comment: Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Facilities were pretty good as well. It’s just that location between the train tracks and the freeway/major thoroughfare that make it LOUD in the morning and can get to you. Good place for a base of operations for a family if you’re at a horse show nearby or out on the town in the area but not as much if you’re looking to hang out and relax.

Super nice, great conversationalist!, offered me recommendations to Enjoy OC🍊 life on my one day off from work.I needed more towels for my room. Made a phone call 📞to the front desk... Izzy answered, she hooked me up 700-count imported Egyptian cotton towels that were probably hand stitched in the streets of Anchient Egypt for royalty 👑.Ps. in case you get suggested, dont try go whale watching without a prior reservation.....

Comment: We just stayed here for six nights and could barely get the housekeeping in our room ONE time for a cleaning. Even after we were promised a “refresh” no one showed up after we spent all day out of the room to give them ample time. When we got back and called the front desk no one cared. They acted annoyed we even asked for clean towels. We are traveling with our four kids and the room has a kitchen. Imagine not being able to sweep your kitchen for four days? It was gross and at one point we had to ask for our own brooms and cleaning supplies because the hotel was “short staffed”. I understand things like this do happen but paying full-price for this experience was miserable. The cheapest toilet paper I’ve ever experienced in my life, dismal water pressure in the shower and overall lackluster service or desire to improve our experience. I’d recommend you skip.

It’s a short walk from a great park and the trolley stops here during the summer which takes you through San Juan. Hopefully we never have to stay here again but if we do, at least we know we’re in a great spot!

Comment: We first booked a not nice hotel and decided to switch right after we see the room. We moved to Residence Inn. The front dest is very friendly and helpful. They were able to allocate 10 of us in a short time. The room is clean and makes me feel like home. Services are convenient. The drinks offered at the bar are tasty. I love their pool the most. It saved my trip. Btw it is close to the beach as well.

Comment: We stayed in a kind bed studio suite and it was great for our little family. We brought our baby and put his pack n play in the living/kitchen area for sleeping. The kitchen had the basics you’d need to cook with. The front desk can provide you with dish soap and a sponge, FYI. Bed was comfy, hotel was quiet, and the front desk was accommodating anytime we needed something. You do have to pay for parking ($16/day when we went). Biggest downside was the complementary breakfast. I thought they’d at least have a pancake/waffle station. Also, there is a train near the hotel so you can hear the horn when it passes. Overall good bang for our buck. And great location.

Comment: Amazing place, this is a pet friendly hotel with many great amenities such as Landry machines, a workout room, pool, basketball half court, and putting area. This is also a walking distance from Costco and a few minute drive from Trader Joe’s. Many beaches near by I would recommend the state park but it is rocky you could also try Aliso beach Park bigger waves there. Most rooms have a full size fridge, dishwasher, and stove. The staff are amazing and if you ask you can get waffles on the weekends for breakfast otherwise they have a small buffet during weekdays.P.S: There is a train the comes by often and has a loud horn:).

Comment: I was told by Hope at the front desk that the hotel was completely sold out after asking for one additional hour to check out. I had to spend extra time doing laundry after the old and dirty iron provided in the room stained my clothes. I then asked Collin at the front desk for the additional hour, and he provided it with no problems or issues. He also confirmed that the hotel was not sold out and that my room was in fact available. I did not appreciate the original misinformation aimed at forcing me out by 12:00 p.m. instead of 1:00 p.m. It caused a lot of unnecessary hassle and pressure. I expected better treatment, specially as a long standing Marriott Rewards member.Honesty should always be the best policy!Not worth the 25,000 rewards points!Dates of stay: 02/05/2022 - 02/06/2022Guest #61939

Comment: Ok, this location is on premium real estate. THE IS A TRAIN RIGHT NEXT TO HOTEL!! If you like trains blasting their horns up until about midnight, and then again around 5am, definitely stay here! Other than that, not a bad hotel, but rather dingy and dirty in the cracks and corners. Well worn, but not terrible. Horrible red carpet in the hallways are stained and well-worn. My room was decent, the bed was unacceptable in my opinion. Too worn out and uncomfortable, which of course is subjective. The sofa was great. The little vintage LG TV was laughable; totally inexcusable in such a mega-buck area. Operable windows (fresh air) was a huge bonus. Decent sized parking lot. DID I MENTION THE TRAIN?? lol

Comment: Nothing works here... No wifi... Old TV and the channels( free ones such as hbo dont work) the iron had more leaks than the titanic and the trains at night make it a wonderful spot for anyone who grew up with Thomas the tank engine. Dont bother staying here... Skip it at all cost.

Comment: This was the worst Marriott stay I have ever experienced. The property is really run down and very old, which is so shocking for the price we are paying. They also charge you $20 per night for parking, ridiculous! Residence Inns used to have free parking.The air conditioning barely works. It turns off when you’re not in the room and turns off in the middle of the night. It also takes forever to get started and cool down the room when you’re in there.The couch and pillows were all messed up when we first got to our room. The room looked like it was cleaned in a rush. There was hair in the bathtub and on the bed sheet. The lightning in one of the bathrooms was also very dim. We also called to get a blanket from the front desk for the sofa bed and they said they didn’t have anymore because they were “fully committed” for the night. How do you run out of blankets??? Both rooms also smelled heavily of cigarettes.I called the front desk for a towel and a bath mat (only one bathroom had it). After waiting 30 minutes, I decided to go downstairs and ask for it in person and they said they would send it up. After another 20 minutes, I called and they said they would send it up. I finally went back downstairs and asked them to get one and the guy was so rude.Don’t get me started on the breakfast. Everything was cold and looked like it had been sitting there overnight. They were out of utensils, so I had to ask for more and the guy just looked at me, sighed, and went and got them.I literally will never ever come back to this property ever again. Aweful

Comment: Beautiful room but noticeable stains on the sofa. Loud! Didnt know the hotel was right next to train tracks, had to buy ear plugs to be able to sleep. However, its also right next to the neighborhood walking path so was able to get my miles in without having to use the gym. Guy who manages the breakfast atea was awesome, highly attentive and friendly, loved the professionalism.

Comment: Central location, easy parking, friendly staff, clean room. Staff promptly let us know our room would be closer to the train tracks but we could have a room on the other side of the hotel. Didn’t bother us. We are east coasters visiting for a few days. But the train would have bothered us if we weren’t up at the crack of dawn every morning. That first horn blasts were around 5am. And the last one was around 11pm. It is loud, but the staff was very up front about it. Pool, gym, breakfast were all open.

Comment: I have stayed at Marriotts quite a few times and have noticed over the years a decline, not only in respect from the managers, associates etc but just downright rudeness: that is what happened when I tried to check in here on Saturday December 20th 2020.The customer service person, said her name was Hope, was extremely rude. She SAID, Are you here on (essential) business or leisure?Now, when I booked the reservations I had asked the reservation person if that mattered because I had heard that term again come up: I was told that it did not.I am here along with my wife, taking care of my grandkids for my boys and their wives.Also what does it matter and what is essential? Politicians etc. drinking and eating with thier buddies is what weve seen here in California. Now, my Boys are doing their thing, & I told Hope that they had whatever they were doing: one of my boys is a veteran and mentioned something in regards to business and the same with my other: but what does it matter. She insisted that I could only be here for essential business... Boy I am tired.Also, I have problems with breathing and I had my mask below my nose. This is because my nose has been cracked or broken before, plus other medical reasons that make it hard to breathe through a mask. But she insisted I have it over my nose. But, I tried to explain the above to her.Well somewhere along there shes really pushed the rude button and stated, I can send you to another or some other hotel!!! Can you believe that! Can you imagine the cost, loss of points, being charged & trying to fix all of this?I said, Look I will stand directly behind the shield that is there, & talk from there. By the way we were not that close anyway. (And we were both wearing masks)She insisted that I wear the mask throughout the hotel. Okay?? But that wasnt the problem! It was how she addressed it.Well, Hope, now has a ten pound hammer, so lets pound the heads of the customers.What a child, and extremely dangerous because this is what leads to discriminatory practices.You know being of Jewish descent (with a mixture of Indian and Hispanic blood), this so called covid problem, gives us all insight, how the government, business, plus the public treated the Jewish people, & OTHERS, that were declared the problem: so discriminate, treat ugly, put in jail, dont allow anyone to work or travel, that have been labled as the problem.I guess we never eliminated that attitude here in the U.S. we just found something new to treat one another less than.You cant work, you cant go out, & you cannot have businesses etc.When will we realise, including businesses, this is going to eventually be very detrimental.In addition I have some training in respiratory therapy: these masks dont help, they are only a spit guard, in my probably, worthless opinion. The only thing that would help in totality is to dress up in a self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), or in a more simple manner, use an N95 mask, which only controls about 95% of diseases etc. Plus it is NOT healthy to wear for extended periods. Fact.Also, (small note?) why were masks not pushed before during the cold & flu season? Approximately 30 to 60 thousand Americans die every year of flu etc. Not including other countries. No mask then. Influenza is a virus, & still kills with vaccines being available.Anyway finally checked in, but later I went to the front desk again, there was now another lady present, but I asked for late check out because of my Marriott status. I was told that they would not know and I would have to ask in the morning. Plus Hope said she could not necessarily give it to all three rooms. Also, she said, and I think the other lady agreed (Now I am more upset & frustrated), but said something to the effect, You could be Platinum etc. & that would not guarantee this, etc. Okay. Fine.I will be cancelling my card, & marriott member status. I am done with this company.Also I spoke to another couple, that I think have been here for two weeks already, they said she had treated them rude also.

Comment: I find it hard to say anything pleasant about my experience with this hotel this evening. I was discriminated against and threatened at this hotel by the Assistant General Manager, Gabriella Gustafson. I attempted to check in with my Marriott Associate Form which tells the front desk clerk that I am eligible for Employee Rates because my family owns a Marriott property. Gabriella refused to honor the rate which I am entitled to as a direct relative of a Marriott owner. Then she proceeded to tell me that if I would have said that I was there on business, she could have given me a room. I said fine, Im checking in for business and proceeded to give her my business credit card. Gabriella responded that it was too late, I had already missed my opportunity when I said that I was there for pleasure and she refused to give me a room. I explained to her that this was discrimination, and I would be sharing my experience in a review. Gabriella then proceeded to threaten me and said that if I posted the truth in a review, she would make sure that the Associate member on the form would be in trouble with Marriott Corporate. I dont take discrimination lightly, and I for sure dont take Gabriella Gustafson threatening me. This is my truth and experience with Residence inn Dana Point.

Comment: The rating is for how the manager, DeAndre, handled my complaint regarding the lack of cleanliness in the rooms and the abrasive front desk rep, Megan.The location is great, as well. Its near shops, stores and other hotels.I was greeted kindly by a woman that assigned me to room 305. I inspected the room and found the room to have an unpleasant odor, the refrigerator needed some light cleaning and a few other issues needed to be address; pillow, pillowcases.I was assigned a different room 319. It smelled better than 305, but again, I encountered lack of cleanliness issues, including but not limited to, the light switches and refrigerator.I went back to 305 and stayed for the night.I discussed the issues I encountered with the manager the following morning and he listened with great attention to my concerns and addressed each one to my satisfaction.Im looking forward to one day returning there, to a better/cleaner hotel.

Comment: My family had three rooms for a recent stay and found the hotel a bit older and noisy (one side has train whistles at various times and the other has a freeway). Breakfast during COVID-19 was a small bottle of water, and apple, a muffin, and granola bar. They also only had one elevator running (not sure if the other one was broken or closed due to COVID).PROS:It was within short driving distance of several beaches. The bed was comfortable. Shower was good. There was a decent amount of storage in the bathroom (although the drawers were kind of gross...looked like they had water damage).CONS:Not the cleanest Marriott Ive been to. The front of my stainless steel refrigerator looked like it had not been cleaned before my check in (see photo). The staff also would not clean any of the rooms until the 4th day of a stay...they claim this is due to COVID and would bring you towels and empty trash, but a few employees got a bit testy during some of the requests. They also charge for each car parked.

Comment: The resort itself was beautiful. Everything seemed clean and pristine, and is in a beautiful location.The staff, however, was lacking. Particularly the woman who was at the check-in desk. In the five minutes of checking in, she was condescending towards us— when we asked why they were keeping the entrance doors locked— and we saw her being condescending towards another guest who was inquiring about getting some creamer. I work at a job not too different from hers, so I know there is a better way to answer questions and deal with clients. Her actions and the way she handled herself was very off-putting.

Comment: My wife and I were visiting for our 23rd wedding anniversary. Julie checked us in at the front desk. When I booked I was only able to get a room w 2 beds. I mentioned our anniversary and asked if they had a king size bed avail. I also asked if they had a room w an ocean view. After a few keystrokes Julie was able to grant me my request. I also mentioned that we had been traveling all day and we were tired. I said that we were going to get a light snack and go to bed. After about 15 min in our room, Julie knocked on the door. She had a plate with some fruit, crackers, cheese and a small bottle of wine. She said happy anniversary from Marriott. The snack was just what we needed. The service and attention we received was above and beyond. This is why I stay at Marriott and will continue to do so in the future. Thank you Residence Inn Dana Point and thank you Julie for making our stay memorable

Comment: Frequenting California, My family loves the Dana Point area. This is a great place to stay near your favorite beaches at Laguna, ours being Treasure island beach.It’s also close enough to spend time in Newport and Corona Del Mar. The latter being about a 20min drive down the PCH.This location is also right off of the highway, and Costco is right around the block. There is also an Albertsons up the street.The exact area of the Residence Inn isn’t upscale, but it sits in its own space.It takes just a few short minutes to get to the Dana point marina, and also Salt creek beach.The Residence Inn here, is a MUST for families. There is no better place to stay when traveling with a group. Super nice rooms. I like the room with the open floor plan. It is hard to find two queens in a room these days, but you will find them here! And yes! They are super comfy!Included is an additional sofa bed, a kitchenette and all the amenities, so make sure to request this one! if you prefer, you can request a suite, with two separate rooms, and a front room if that’s what you prefer.Complimentary breakfast is served daily, and some evenings, you will find activities, cocktails and snacks.Spend the day at your favorite beach and come back to splash in the pool or relax in the hot tub. Workout in the fitness room, put a load of laundry in the laundry room, or grill for your family, at the outdoor grill.And, to cap off your night, don’t forget to put your feet up while lounging around the seated fire pit.Always friendly and accommodating staff on hand to help with anything you may need.*Not the place I would stay for romance, but this will always be my go to place to stay when traveling with my family or a group.UPDATE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️If my review has been helpful to you at all, please give me a thumbs up😁👍🏼

Comment: This hotel is excellent! The staff is genuinely welcoming, friendly, and caring. I was displaced from my home and Gabby and Jairo really took care of me. Plus I want to give kudos to the two housekeeping supervisors. I was really sick on my last night there. One of the housekeeping supervisors found my ice pack and even brought me an orange juice to help hydrate me and with vitamin C. They also gave me a late check out so I could recuperate without having to rush. The maintenance staff took care of the toilet immediately upon my request. Also, Tara at the front desk made copies for me and was always helpful with a warming smile on her face. The only reason I give 4 stars is because the jacuzzi jets did not work all week and that is all I had been looking forward to, after a horrendous stay at the Doubletree Dana Point. The only draw back is the train tracks. If you get a room next to the tracks, the train is very noisy until midnight and the hotel room shakes when the train drives by.

Comment: Please be wary of this hotel. I called once to make a single reservation, cancelled it a month later (well documented, with cancellation #), and then was billed $306 a month later (when my original trip time/reservation slot came up) for not showing up. Please check your credit card statements very carefully if youre going to stay in the Dana Point/San Clemente area, because we had another hotel over-charge us too. Weve never seen this elsewhere in the nation, at hotels of all types. Its like some strange crime-ring may be working hotels in this region. Please also demand they send you receipts. They email us for all sorts of things, but not for such charges. Its awful practice what happened at the only two hotels I dealt with in this region, and is probably illegal.

Comment: My stay started out great a we were there for a wedding in which by boyfriend was a groomsman. The day after check out I check my bank and see that I have an additional $250 charge. I call the hotel and speak with Gaby the Assistant GM. She began to accuse me and my fiancé of smoking in the room. This is not true we don’t smoke and She was very condescending and self righteous in her decision.I am a professional and also worked in the hospitality industry for several years and know the rules and consequences if broken. Unfortunately I don’t have a leg to stand on as it’s my word against hers so she lied beyond belief and stole $250 because of her accusations. I am beyond livid and will never stay at a Marriott again.Gaby Gustafson terrible worst experience in a hotel that I have ever received.

Comment: We have stayed here in the past and the hotel was a pleasure to stay at, even though we live only about an hour and a half away. This time was different. Many corners are being cut I believe due to new management/ownership in the past few years. For example, you now have to request a bottle of liquid dish soap from the front desk and they are providing guests with sponges cut in half. Really? This is what I’m paying top dollar for? These are just minor details but it speaks volumes for how things are going at this hotel. They now require a card key to access the restrooms downstairs. Very welcoming I’ll say (not!). The room we were in needed the flooring redone as they used some tape to secure the carpet down near the kitchen area. Lastly you can tell the age of the hotel by the old style light switches. Time for a remodel guys, I hope all those corners you’re cutting are to save money for that!

Comment: Have stayed here s number of times in the past and always had a very positive experience, until this time.... Housekeeping staff failed to service the room a number of times claiming we had the do not disturb sign out which we clearly didn’t. Raised it to the night manager this evening who became very defensive making excuses for their failure to do their job.... Next time will likely go to the nearby Hampton Inn. As an aside they allow dogs in the rooms AND in the dining area. That may be fine for some but not others, decide for yourself....

Upon arrival into our room we opened the sofa bed to discover crumbs all over the mattress, sheets with holes, and an uncomfortable mattress with springs poking out.

Comment: Parking was $16 a night -- seemed a bit excessive. The parking spots fill up. We got parking comped for our rewards level of the Marriott Rewards program. We asked for the far side -- in a picture on the website, the hotel appears to be nestled in a woody area. Wrong -- the side overlooked a nearby Costo parking lot and gas station. The Railroad tracks were right there, and yes, they went by with horns blaring many times, including at midnight. The room itself was comfy and decorated well. We were a long walk from the elevator (the only one, seemingly). The interior of the lobby is nice. They now serve a hot buffet breakfast, included. There was a pool and gym area, but at only one night, we didnt partake. The couple of staff that we dealt with at the front desk were extremely nice and accommodating. Overall, a nice place to take a short weekend getaway. Close to our relatives home, so quite convenient for our needs. A hotel worth a try.

Comment: This is a beautiful inn with an amazing staff. Everyone is so nice and helpful. One of many that stood out was Jacqueline Marcos del Rio. She takes such pride and care in everything she does and always greeted us with a smile. We were here for over 4 months and she always made us feel like family. She always worked very selflessly to make sure we were well taken care of. She is such an amazing asset to Marriott.

Comment: We really love staying at this hotel, probably because the rooms are basically studio apartments with a kitchen, living room, and large work area. We also like that we can stream our own Internet TV accounts, like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube on the large flat screen TV. The one thing that made me reduce my rating by one star is the odor. Im not sure if its the cleaning products or a Room freshener or both, but its very strong, unpleasant and smells like chemicals. I even smell it when stepping into the lobby. It was so strong in the room we were given that I started to get a headache, and I asked for us to switch rooms. They obliged right away. I still smelled it in the second room, but it wasnt nearly as strong. I opened the windows, but only a little bit because you cant open them any wider, and eventually the smell dissipated. If the management reads this: please make sure your cleaning products and any other products you use are unscented and/or only one natural and light scents. The strong synthetic fragrances/scents are a turn off and probably unhealthy as well.

Comment: I enjoyed my stay at this very nice and cozy property at the picturesque Dana Point. Superb location! The staff are really nice and courteous. Special thanks to Hope for helping resolve a room related issue. Tara at the front desk is probably one of the finest in that role. I stay at many Marriott properties round the world. She is special!!

Comment: Hotel staff is the bee’s knees!! Stayed here for Ohana Fest and had a blast. Hope, Tara and Richard were warm and welcoming. Hope was the first person we met in Dana Point, and we knew immediately that we loved the city. Tara even listened to my bad jokes while she was clearly trying to work!!Good breakfast, suitable gym, on-site laundry, and a public walkway will get you to Doheney Beach on foot in 20 minutes. Just a short Lyft ride from the Amtrak station.Thanks for the apple, Hope! Her and Tara deserve all the raises and promotions!

Comment: Overall pretty great place. I mean dont show up thinking that youre staying at the Ritz-Carlton in Beverly Hills or at the Four Seasons in Tahiti or something like that, but for a relatively average price establishment, its very clean, pretty well-built, and recently built to by the way I think only a couple years and the staff is really nice and free breakfast and all that stuff. I guess if I had to throw anything negative or bad in there is a little bit annoying having to pay $16 every single day just for a parking spot. But if youre willing to walk a 3/8 to 1/2 of a mile, Im sure you could probably park down the road make a walk in pack for a week end up saving $112 right?

Comment: Wow. First time to comment on a hotel. I expect my stay to be top notch but these folks push it to another level. First, they offer a 2 bd rm suite which for a family with 2 teenagers is a great option. Further, the facility is full of amenities and the breakfast and evening snacks saved us a ton of money. Finally, the staff acted as Hosts and made our stay feel like a neighborhood by the end of the week. Richard, you could not have been a more charming and welcoming Host. We cant wait to visit again

Comment: Amazing Staff, great room service, great amenities, but quite lacking and firm beds.Over the course of my stay, I had a chance to experience my suite and most of the amenities in the hotel. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly. Also, the pool and exercise room are quite good and are up to date. The rooms are spacious, well planned, and have all of the things that most people need or want in their room for the price. The beds are the only issue in the room. They were quite firm.Overall, my stay was quite a good one. I can not reiterate enough how good my stay was. My only issue is the beds, they are just to firm for myself and the other guests that I talked to. (This review is strictly my own. I did ask other guests what they thought about the beds in their respective rooms)

Comment: Great location, very reasonable rates, and free Golden Malted waffles for breakfast were the best things about this place. Breakfast staff were also very friendly. Suite was pretty large, and its always nice to have a little kitchenette. Not enough pillows or towels, and had to use top sheet from one of the beds for the sofa bed, which had no sheets. I wish the Residence Inns were a little more consistent. Some are definitely better than others.

Comment: Update: well right is right and wrong is wrong. It wasnt 2 hrs from my post on the review board that I was contacted by hotel management and they bent over backwards to make it right. I can say this, the room may have be tired, but management here is not and we couldnt praise them more. They salvaged our vacation and fixed everything but moving those darn train tracks. A huge thank you for living up to the Marriott brand in the customer care department, I change my rating from a 2 to a 4.5!Im here now....selected this location because we always stay Marriott and are rewards members. Let me tell you, Marriott would be disappointed if they saw their name on this building. Took a spoon out of the drawer to stir my coffee and it has crusted yogurt or the like on it; hole in the door; white stains of what looks like an orgy just left or police used illuminated techniques to find bodily fluids on the sofa; the photos of this location, specifically the bathroom and living area of the room have been so airbrushed and stretched....we practically have to stand on the bed to pass each other, 3 people in a king room with sofa sleeper...wouldnt recommend it; then there are the 3 flights of stairs to get to the hell hole room we have over looking the sewer plant and a trailer park. I still havent found the location in the photos of the picturesque fire pit overlooking the beautiful mountains and the view. In all my Marriott stays this one hands down disappoints and my first trip ever to California with my family is going to be memorable, but not for the right reasons. Buyer beware, the pictures lie. Oh did I mention the train tracks outside the bedroom window... chooo choooo at 3am. FuN

Comment: I enjoy this Residence Inn. The staff is always friendly and i appreciate the location and its convenient access to Dana Point, San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano. I am a fan of the kitchenette in the room and the complimentary hot breakfast is an easy way to get the day started. When the hotel is busy, parking can become a challenge. There is plenty of parking available but you may have to go up a few flights of stairs to get from the parking lot to the hotel. Stop at the lobby and drop your bags first.

The pills had absolutely no life to them as well. Very terrible sleep which is the main purpose of a hotel. The room it self was nice and clean. Just wished they had a Keurig coffee maker like most hotels. Coffee in the room was like water. The breakfast was ok. The staff seemed overwhelmed and were not able to keep up with the demand. Not even the coffee was keeper up. Holiday Inn Express give much better hot buffets. They did give complimentary beer, wine, and a nightly hot meal, which made up for breakfast. Lots of stuff for kids to do. Kids were busy and had a good time.

Comment: My wife and I attended a wedding in Capistrano this past weekend and stayed at the Residence Inn. The room was nice albite a bit pricy in my opinion. My only complaint was on Sunday morning the pool was filthy and the surrounding deck was littered with food and trash from the previous day. Dont most hotels, particularly ones that charge close to $300 per night, clean their facilities?
