I wish I had read the reviews before I booked the room, but it was a last minute thing and I was getting desperate. My boyfriend and I were going down to Dana Point for Valentines weekend getaway, and when we arrived at the Capistrano Seaside Inn, we pulled in the driveway, and I immediately regretted having wasted $165 on this dump. The buildings ...

Do not do business with this hotel!
By deborahmcsmith, 09/15/08
I made a reservation in July, and after reading several negative reviews cancelled it in early August. This hotel charged my credit card 2 and a half weeks later, after I had cancelled and despite the fact that I wasn't there. Nearly a month later, I am still trying to get my money back. I have called them twice and emailed them twice, and ...

Maids are babes, management sucks!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/06/08
The management(a husband and wife team)they are rude! The rooms were clean, but very outdated! The pictures are deceiving, the place needs a major overhaul. The best part, the maids are babes, kind and courteous, too.

Awful!!
By Kristin B, 01/28/08
The website photos are VERY deceiving. The place is dirty and falling apart. The only good thing was the fireplace. I would not recommend that place to anyone I know!

Big Disappointment!
By Retromom, 04/25/07
I couldn't bear to stay despite the reservations. The website advertises falsely that the rooms are renovated. In fact the rooms are moldy smelling, badly maintained with decrepit furniture, textiles and flooring...No charming fireplace in our room. Even the kids were appalled but the owner insisted on charging a cancellation fee even with ...

Worst place ever!!!!!!!!!!!
By Miguel W, 03/20/07
This is worst place ever! Torn bedspreads, lamps that were glued back together, no landscaping unless you count the weeds growing all over the place. Holes in screens, room smelled like something died. The only good thing was the view of the beach. Don't be fooled by the pictures of the rooms, the size of the picture is the acual size of the room! The price being charged is robbery!
I WOULD NOT RECOMEND THIS PLACE TO MY WORST ENEMY!

It is Disgusting and dirty
By fireboy92, 12/08/06
Its dirty the rooms had bugs and knats in it the bed sheets were not washed the beach view is ugly there is no garden its all weeds
The staff could not have been more helpful. Very cute, rustic hotel. The patio area made me wish I had more time for hanging out. I found it to be a great value for the money. I fell asleep hearing the surf from across the street.
My boyfriend and I decided to check this place out despite the bad reviews. It is very rustic. The furniture and decorations are older but everything was in working order. The room was clean. The tile floor reminded me of Mexico. The gas fireplace was great (although we would not recommend buring wood in it because it tends to get a little ...

Not worth staying here!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/02/05
I booked my room online, and thought what a great location and price. The hotel is run down and needs a major face lift. I was very unhappy with what I saw when I arrived. I ended up canceling my reservation and driving down the street to the Holiday Inn Express, for only a few dollars more a night. The beach was right across the street, but I refused to stay someplace so unkept and dirty looking. I would not suggest this hotel to anybody!
