The place was seedy and falling down, nasty dirty and nothing like the pictures! Rusty furniture on what they call a terrace.....no one in their right mind would pay $99 a night or more to stay there! Do yourself a favor and pass this one right on by and go to the Best Western (which was wonderful!)

Cheezy Motel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/14/09
I've stayed in "Cheezy" Motels, but this place takes the cake.. The train pass every 45 minutes, it reminded me of an I Love Lucy episode. Its not worth $$. It's DREADFUL!! They need to knock it down & rebuild.

Please for the love of GOD don't stay here!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/17/09
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 ...
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 The rooms were clean, but very outdated!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.
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!
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 ...
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!
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.
