I called the Blue Lantern Inn a short while ago after reviewing its "Wish you were here" package and senionr citizen discount and was put off quite a bit by the curt reply to my questions about these "specials." I was told that one room is available for tomorrow night (a Thursday), but since it is the last room, it is not eligible for the "Wish you were here" package. I was told like a schoolmarm would that it is clearly stated on the website that such offers are discretionary. No "I'm sorry that we can't accommodate you," or "Please consider us for your next visit to Dana Point," or "Let me help you find the disclaimer on the website," or anything of this nature. With one room left, they don't need my business. I imagine this woman would have been much nicer on a slow night. The places I patronize are nice to me all the time, not just when they want my money. And savvy proprietors know they have no way of knowing just how much money that might be...

Another Four Sisters’ spectacular place with superb views of Dana Point yacht harbor. The touchstone of a B (comfort) and B (hot, ample and varied). We find ourselves staying there instead of with a sister in the same city; true fact. Tell your brothers and sisters about it! Carpe Diem program makes it easy to plan to be spontaneous and get away!

My wife and I got to have a one night getaway here. This B&B is wonderful and a bargain compared to other local hotels. Many of the rooms have wonderful views of the harbor and the Pacific Ocean. What a great way to escape even if it's only for a brief moment.

This is the most fantiastic place to stay overlooking Dana Point Harbor and close to the Ritz Carleton, Montage, St. Regis! The location is incredible and there's a great breakfast and afternoon reception. We were there for our 11th anniversary and stay whenever we are in California. We oredered one of their celebration packages and when we came home to the inn there were chocolates, champaigne and Teddy Bears dressed as Bride and Groom!
