DoubleTree by Hilton Hotels in Dana Point

When we arrived at check-in with our family of 6, we were told that we would not be given connecting rooms as promised over the phone. After a very long wait, they put us in 2 rooms not even close to each other. On top of that, it was the garden view, with the pool closed for a private event and preparation for a party. We would have to wait until after 5 pm for one of the rooms to be cleaned. They allowed us to access the double bedroom. When we walked in, it smelled like sewage. I called the front desk and asked to speak to the manager. She was accommodating and moved us to the club level - 2 rooms not next to each other. Yippee. Again, this is annoying when you have packed your bags a certain way, you have small children, and you know you will have to walk up and down the hallways to borrow items during your stay. The club level was a nice way to make up for the mishap. The food at this hotel is outrageously expensive. The club level has a full bar and lots of small bites throughout the day. The club-level hallways get a lot of traffic, and the carpets are always dirty. Food, hairballs, and paper trash were all seen. We had a nice rest that night. Going into day 2, we contacted the front desk to see if they had the connecting rooms as promised. They advised us that we needed to get out of our rooms immediately so that they could be cleaned for the next guests. They would store our luggage all day until our rooms would be ready. I mean, what terrible Customer service. We said that we would not be leaving the rooms we were paying for and that we would not let them store our luggage. The hotel ended up putting us in connecting oceanfront rooms after lunch. We had to leave the beach to come change rooms. Annoying, but a better situation for our family. The hotel is overcrowded. They can't keep up with the demand. Our shower doesn't drain. Stains on the carpet. Stains on our blanket in the closet. The valet costs $70 a day. It is always backed up. Be prepared to wait. 45 minutes wait to get ice delivered to your room. The guests below are smoking on their balcony. This makes it hard to smell the ocean or open your patio doors. The pool area is not clean. Cups, old towels and the pool looks slightly green. The basketball and playground areas were dirty with old cups and food containers. The beach is okay if you don't mind watching surfers. If you like to swim, you have to walk down to the public beach area. The lifeguards will remind you all day long. But, you feel like a rockstar when you don't have to carry all that beach junk down to the beach. They have everything you need! We have stayed at other Ritz hotels and know that this is not typical. We hope that they can make some changes before they lose their reputation.

We were very happy with everything except their hotel rate per night. I don't think it was worth to pay that much money.

The meal was very good. It is convenient to go sightseeing. The customer service at the front desk was well serviced. This is an unpretentious hotel with a swimming pool.

The hotel room was cleaner and more comfortable than I thought! And breakfast is delicious

Haha, I really like the environment around this hotel, an unforgettable experience, surrounded by beautiful scenery. The room is big enough, there is a balcony, the balcony can see the sea, it feels like a small room in a room, if you can bring your family to play next time.

this hotel has outstanding it's got a great view the weather is nice nice beds nice rooms microwaves TVs balcony beautiful

Opposite is the sea. The appearance of this hotel is okay. It feels like a seaside vacation. The breakfast is ordinary American style. The air conditioning in the room is good. It is very close to the nearby bustling areas. The disadvantage is that the weekend room rate is expensive. Other things are OK.
