Beautiful and serene

Beautiful and serene location. Charming boutique hotel with excellent service, food and magnificent view of the bay at Dana Point. It is within walking distance to shops and restaurants but to get down to the beach it’s better to drive. Whale watching was wonderful.

Our stay at the Blue Lantern was truly memorable! We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and had booked a room with an ocean view. Not only was the room available 2 hours before check in, we were given glasses of some very nice sparkling wine to start off our celebration. A couple hours later, we joined in the complimentary happy hour with wine and appetizers. We were expecting just some cheese and crackers, but the staff served platters of salad, fruit, veggies, the works, that would make a very nice light dinner for some. We were heading out to dinner shortly, but the light bites were just right to hold us over. After dinner and a pleasant walk around the lantern district around the inn, we returned to our room with a spacious balcony overlooking Dana Point harbor. We proceeded to enjoy the spectacular view accompanied by the complimentary bottle of sparkling wine we received as an upgrade. Before leaving the next day, we partook of the complimentary breakfast. Again, Blue Lantern exceeded our expectations with a very nice spread of eggs, bacon, yogurt, bagels, granola, fruit, along with some really good coffee. The friendly staff made sure the breakfast area was clean and the food well stocked. Thank you for a great stay, Blue Lantern!

I’ve never left a 1-star review before, but unfortunately, this experience was disappointing to say the least. Due to an unexpected emergency (fire in our area), we had to leave before our scheduled stay. Despite reaching out through both Expedia and directly to the hotel to explain the situation, we received no response or willingness to offer a refund or even a credit toward a future stay. I appreciate that Expedia tried and shared their efforts to repeatedly contact the hotel. Not Expedia’s fault. The property itself is beautiful, and we were genuinely enjoying our visit, until we had to leave quickly. However, the lack of human consideration during a difficult moment speaks volumes. I understand policies exist for a reason, but a little empathy goes a long way, and sadly, that was missing. Will not attempt to stay at a 4 Sisters Inn again in the future. While emergencies are rare, this facility doesn’t extend care.
