I had an enjoyable stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Dana Point Doheny Beach, highlighted by its excellent location just across the street from the beach and the stunning rooftop bar with amazing views. However, there were some drawbacks, like the high parking fee of $40 per day and a couple of service hiccups. Overall, while my experience was positive, I encountered a few frustrations that impacted my overall impression.
