We really got our money's worth in our recent stay at the Holiday Inn Express Dana Point. The location was very convenient and we had a view of the ocean. We received excellent service at check-in. We had found a rate that gave us a 1-bedroom king suite for the same price as a standard room, but the front desk... More

Unlike other Hotels in the area, this one does Not have the train going by right in front. There was some road noise that was easily drowned out by the semi-quiet fan. Giant jacuzzi tub was a nice treat, complete with a bathroom TV to watch as you soak. I unplugged the fridge, which was noisy and here's my BIG... More

Stayed in a 2 Queen Suite. Nice size with new flat screens. It is a bit noisy as your rooms face parking garage and things echo. Not too bad. Gym had 2 treadmils (which I contacted front desk to tell them that both belts were loose and they need adjustment. Went in next day and nothing had been done). Nice... More

Located on US 1, modern Holiday Inn Express was a perfect spot to regather energy and restore one's spirits. Upgraded room with spa tub, mineral salts, vanity with cosmetic mirror, separate shower and toilet, and well lighted sink in travertine tile bath went way beyond the usual travelers expectations. Worthy of tourists other consideration, was the great free breakfast bar... More

I stay at the HI Express - Dana Point a few times every month for business and this is the best hotel for the price, by far. Dana Point contains many excellent hotels and resorts, but they tend to be quite pricey due to the demand and location (which is awesome). That is why I always stay here because the... More

I stayed there for two nights during the conference in Dana point. You could find a subway and some other fast food restaurants at the other side of street. You need to have a car to go to a supermarket. It was close to the beach, bike rental (at the intersection of pacific coast highway and Dana point harbor Dr.).... More

The location of this hotel is great. You can get a nice view of the ocean from many of the rooms. However, the staff was very uncaring and unprofessional. It took the front desk clerk 15 minutes to check us in for two rooms and couldn't keep the rooms straight. We did not get what we asked for after explaining... More

Arrived late evening from Las Vegas where we plan to take Pacific Coast Highway all the way down Coronado Island. Very quiet area (during night time). We hit Carl's Jr fast food at 2200hrs and we are the only customer there.. Maybe just something different with Asia but security is so good and we are worry-less about robbery case. Room... More

Went to Dana Point to go Whale Watching on Sunday morning 30 October so we travelled the night before and stayed here . We looked at numerous Hotels in the area and this without doubt appeared to be the best value for your $ . We were not let down and had no complaints , the Harbor itself was only... More

This is a great location for the beach, shopping etc. but it is on the Pacific Coast Hwy and the road noise was very noticeable in our room. It is an older hotel, a little outdated and pricey in comparison to others. However, the staff was very helpful and pleasant, it was very clean and otherwise quiet. The shower/jacuzzi tub... More
