The night employee was no help on how to work the jet tub and seemed to be high on something because he had slurred speech and kept repeating the same thing when I asked him questions. The hotel stunk of weed and especially in my room it smelled like weed.

It was okay, and worked for what we wanted.

Check in person was efficient, but not friendly or welcoming. You have to park in between support posts, so it was a little tricky. The room was spacious, and the bed was comfortable. There were stains on the loveseat. We had a balcony, but it overlooked a busy street. Overall the stay was fine, and worked for our purpose of going whale watching from Dana Point.
