Services and Accessibility

The Dana Point Marina Inn provides overnight accommodations, complimentary parking, and amenities meeting the requirements of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). Accessible amenities include accessible parking, a public entrance, a registration counter, exercise facilities, a pool lift, and routes to public areas and guest rooms. The hotel offers wheelchair accessible paths and Braille wayfinding signs. ADA rooms have TTY machines, lowered peepholes, grab bars, shower seats, and Braille signage.

“Dana Point Marina Inn's location beside the marina allows for pleasant walks, and several restaurants nearby, like RJ's Cafe and Chart House, add convenience, but some rooms might need extensive renovation. While the staff is attentive, reports of mold issues and thin walls suggest considering a higher floor for a quieter stay; the age of the property seems to show. A pragmatic choice for those prioritizing location over modern amenities.”
