Top Beach Cities Orange County Hotel Reviews

Costa Mesa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"staff was wonderful! Room was clean and comfortable"

Laguna Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very spacious and we had 2 Queen beds which were super comfortable. The mini bar was stocked and great variety. Loved the little balcony where we could sit and have our coffee. Our arrival time worked out that it was "happy hour" and we got a glass of wine at check-in! Then later it was "baked warm cookies" before we left for dinner. A beautiful hotel and would book again upon another visit to Laguna Beach. "

Dana Point Marina Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I had an excellent stay at Dana Point Marina Inn. The staff was extremely professional, welcoming, and attentive throughout my visit. The management clearly runs the property very well, and both check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient. The location is fantastic — close to the marina and surrounded by beautiful views. The room was clean and comfortable, and the overall value for the price is very good. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it."
