“Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel has some compelling features, especially its Catalina Cruises option and proximity to both Los Angeles and San Diego. I also like that the hotel is pet-friendly, though some past guests have mentioned lingering odors. If you don't mind average rooms in favor of a prime location and good service, this could be a solid choice in Dana Point.”
