Staff and management. Staff was not helpful at all. Staff was non responsive. I was trying to get in contact with a manager for 2 weeks and was never followed up with. Every time i would call the manager was conveniently “on a break” because of this, i was charged for a stay that i never completed.

    “Hôtel confortable avec un personnel très aimable à 5 minutes à pied de Doheny Beach. Très belle piscine. Belle chambre avec literie confortable. Rooftop avec vue sur la mer et possibilité de manger sur place (je recommande de faire appel à un take away externe à l'hôtel et ne pas consommer l'offre de restauration sur place). Carte de vins avec vin au verre de qualité (dont vins de domaines californiens).”

    “Our stay at the Hilton Garden Inn in Dana Point was absolutely amazing, and it was all thanks to the incredible staff who made us feel so welcome from beginning to end. The day before check-in, I called to ask if there was a room with a better view since I had reserved a balcony room. Deephi at the front desk was so kind and accommodating. Not only did she assign us a room with a beautiful view, but she also surprised us by upgrading our second standard room to a connecting balcony room. As a Hilton Gold Member, this was the first time I’ve ever received such a thoughtful upgrade, and I truly felt appreciated and valued. When we arrived, Glen at valet immediately greeted us with such a warm, cheerful personality. He was friendly, down-to-earth, and genuinely seemed to enjoy welcoming and talking with every guest. He set the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional stay. We also had a wonderful experience at the lobby bar. Lisa went above and beyond by surprising my husband with a slice of cake and a candle so everyone could sing “Happy Birthday” to him. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made his birthday even more special and is something we’ll never forget. The staff at this hotel is truly outstanding. Every single person we encountered was kind, welcoming, and eager to help. Customer service like this is hard to find, and it made all the difference. The location is another huge plus. It’s only about a 5–8 minute walk to Doheny State Beach, making it incredibly convenient. Our rooms were spacious, spotless, and well-equipped with both a refrigerator and microwave. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and everything felt clean and well maintained. We absolutely loved our stay and are already planning another trip before summer ends. Thank you to Deephi, Glen, Lisa, and the entire team for making our visit so memorable. We can’t wait to come back!”

  • It did not live up to the Hilton name...

    “We had a wonderful stay and a great time with our family! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The valet staff was incredibly helpful, and the front desk team was kind and made check-in a breeze. Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. I love that our refrigerator in the room was big and that the balcony had a great view. The breakfast was delicious, and we really appreciated having restrooms on every floor—it was such a convenient touch. The location is perfect, right across from the beach, which made our stay even better. We encountered Alex in the lobby and he was so nice and helpful with questions we had.. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel!”
