Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel

Yes- there is an affordable place to stay on the southern coast of Orange County, CA.  The Best Western Plus Marina Shores Hotel is not only affordable but only two blocks from Dana Point Harbor and Doheny State Beach. 

This hotel is a great choice for anyone,  including families,  who are planning a trip to this part of California.  It is especially ideal for those in the Stand Up Paddle Community who are planning to attend the Battle of the Paddle 2014. Save this information for next year so that you remember to book a room for the race at the Best Western Marina Shores. 

This hotel is located on Pacific Coast Highway in Dana Point. They have complimentary breakfast, a newly remodeled fitness center and a heated outdoor pool. The best part though is how close and convenient it is to some of the most beautiful beaches in California. I was able to walk to the start of the Battle of the Paddle Race in no more than 10 minutes. 

I was definitely on a budget during this trip and was struggling to find a remotely affordable place to stay that was close to the race. I was so happy when I came across this hotel. I will add that I hadn't stayed at a Best Western property in quite some time and I wasn't sure what to expect from a quality standpoint. I was so impressed!! Best Western has come a long way over the past few years. This property recently invested $1.5 million in renovations and you can see from the pictures below how nice it is. 

The parking situation was easy and the service was great. It is also a pet friendly hotel in case you are planning to take your dog SUPing.

On behalf of the staff and management of the Marina Shores, I'd like to express our appreciation for all the wonderful things you had to say about our hotel. The Battle of the Paddle was a huge success and we're glad we got to be a part of it. The Marina Shores is proud to be an active participant in the Dana Point community so whether you're in town for an event, vacation or business reasons, we hope to be everyone's hotel of choice - the most comfort and convenience for the best value in town!

    About Dana

    I travel often for business and occasionally for fun....I want to capture information about my favorite hotels, resorts, spas and restaurants  with you. I know I depend on several travel blogs for information on hotels, resorts and dining. It is nice to have first hand information from someone who has actually been there.
