2023-11-09 01:08:07I recently stayed at the Blue Lantern Inn with my mom and sister for a girls weekend, and we could not have had a better stay! Our room was large and very clean with excellent daily room service! The breakfast buffet alone is worth the stay but the daily wine and appetizer hour was an incredible added bonus! It was so nice to stay somewhere where everything was included in the price of the stay without feeling nickel and dimed for anything extra! The Inn has the most beautiful view of the harbor down below, and is within walking distance to just about anything you could want to do in Dana Point. Highly recommend and I will definitely be visiting a four sisters location again in the future!

2023-09-13 14:40:17Our stay at the Blue Lantern Inn was wonderful! Every staff member was so kind and went above and beyond to provide for our needs. My husband and I stayed with our 7 month old and they were so welcoming, providing a pack n play and blankets for her to crawl on. The breakfast and wine and cheese hour were delicious, room was charming and clean, and views were amazing. We had to leave early but Stan made sure we got breakfast to go! We had such a nice time and can’t wait to come back.

2023-11-17 22:25:46Blue Lantern Inn is a gem. Its a cozy, quiet getaway offering great service, excellent breakfast and unbeatable views and walking access to the Dana Point area. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, including the complimentary breakfast and afternoon snack hour. It was perfect, we cant recommend the inn and the team there highly enough!

2023-09-27 19:52:46My partner and I had a really nice stay at Blue Lantern. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. Their kitchen staff put out a great breakfast each morning. Our room was spacious with a perfect view of the ocean. Thanks for a really nice stay!

2023-08-21 20:24:53My recent stay at the Blue Lantern was my first experience with the hospitality industry since covid that has been positive. Everyone was exceptionally conscientious and accommodating, not to mention genuinely friendly. The rooms were perfectly clean and spacious. The breakfast buffet had a wonderful selection of delicious food- especially the eggs benedict! The location was quiet and private and felt like a little retreat, but close to nice restaurants. Its not super accessible to the water, but there are bikes to borrow and the view is lovely. And theres a adorable neighborhood cat that will hang out with you on the patio!

2023-11-13 17:53:18Well, a bit of a mixed review here. 1) If you get the 2 queen balcony, you will have a nice view of most of the the harbor, but you also have a large view of the boarded up restaurant next door. All boarded up, depressing looking. 2) Stan is the best customer service person there and should be promoted. The ladies at the front desk were grumpy, not real friendly to us, not sure why. 3) Oh my gosh, if you dont like huge huge hard pillows, bring a pillow. I couldnt sleep the first night because the pillows hurt me. They really should put a mixture of pillows on the bed. 3) Breakfast very nice, but this is not a B&B, so breakfast starting @ 8 am is really unfair to the guests, esp with limited daylight time in fall/winter, and traffic issues to get to places like the airports. 4) If your room has the shower we had, you will literally have to crawl out of the shower, because the shower and bathroom jacuzzi is all together, so it is very very deep to get into and out of. Glad I could crawl out. 5) Appetizers in evening are very nice, but for nondrinkers, they really ought to put out some nonalcoholic drinks. We felt like we were subsidizing the drinkers, as we paid a lot for our stay. Also, appetizers only for like 1-1/2 hours, so if you are not there in the window (like 4 to 5:30? check on that), you dont get anything. 6) Dana Point is nice. Just not a lot to do there. 7) The Inn is at a dead end of kind of a residential area, and theres a gazebo but it is all fenced off, so you cant go to the gazebo, probably because the clilff there is unstable? 8) Try the bread at Beach Harbor Pizza. Yum. 9) Nice and quiet, and safe location. 10) Great parking lot. 11) Small fitness room in basement. I used it to stretch, had to move a piece of equipment to have room to set out the mat (they have a couple mats) and stretch. 11) Carpet in room needs a shampoo for sure, but otherwise the room is good. No sofa in the double queen room, but some chairs. 12) I cant believe anyone saying the Inn is walking distance to anything. Unless you are really fit and can walk a distance, the Inn is up on the cliff, and so theres walking up and down the hill, and nothing is really closeby as this is a residential area. The harbor is below. I didnt see anyone walking to places or using their cruiser bikes. Have to drive, unless you are doing a workout jog/walk in morning or something.Well, if breakfast time changed and I brought my pillow and I maybe stayed in another room that cannot see the boarded up restaurant next door, I maybe would stay here again, not sure. Mixed feelings.Despite the response by the Inn, it is not really walkable. And despite the response, no sodas or juices were set out. The response is false. I even asked front desk for non-alcoholic beverages, and she said sorry no, is the only thing she said. Maybe coffee and tea were there, but thats all. We were there 2 evenings, and absolutely no sodas or juices or nonalcoholic bubblys were set out. Also, on the pillow, the response is not correct. I even went with a gentleman the first morning to find a pillow, and he took me downstairs into the linen room in the basement, to look for a pillow. And there are not the variety mentioned. And despite what the response says, I did not say we were disappointed with the area. We thought it was lovely in Dana Point. Just ignore the boarded up restaurant next door. Yuck, but thats not the Inns fault, just ruins the ambience.

2023-09-30 13:06:53We recently went to California and didn’t stay at the Blue Lantern Inn simply because we can’t afford there prices anymore, prices skyrocketed, my wife and I used to enjoy staying a couple nights here on special occasions, for us the best rooms were always with a ocean view! Good breakfast, cookies and wine in the evening, as a matter of fact we haven’t stayed here in probably 8 years because it became way too expensive $$$$, however we did enjoy this place years ago 😎

2023-09-30 16:05:13You lost a customer. My wife and I stayed at the Blue Lantern Inn twice per year until 2022. We always stayed in the Ocean King room. It was always just outside our budget, but we would save up to go. Before 2022, one night was between $300 and $400 (including tax). But now the prices are $525 to $625. Thank you for the memories Blue Lantern Inn, but you unfortunately lost a customer.

2023-07-26 00:17:20Wow. Comfy and cozy bed and breakfast inn. Private and clean. Friendly and welcoming staff. Delicious breakfast. Great marina and ocean view. Just a stroll around the corner for fine dining and the Lantern District shopping.

2023-11-19 06:53:47First time Ive been a little disappointed in Sisters Inn. Weve been to about every one now. Rooms looking a bit dated, walls need paint. Housekeeping always very nice. Front desk on check in wasnt happy, in my opinion. Gentleman nice on check in. I know Covid, but, no decor? No fall other than a mini pumpkin. At the rate I paid, nothing that exceptional, except the view. Also, requested no onions with breakfast, guess what? ONIONS! 😢
