What guests think
Across many reviews, Blue Lantern Inn, A Four Sisters Inn is praised for its scenic harbor views, friendly staff, generous complimentary touches like breakfast and afternoon wine-and-cheese, and spacious, cozy rooms that create a peaceful boutique stay.
The clifftop location overlooks Dana Point Harbor and is walkable to restaurants and shops, with easy free parking; however, getting to the beach typically requires a drive or navigating many steps. Rooms are roomy and comfortable, often with fireplaces and large soaking tubs, though some guests mention dated decor and occasional noise from thin walls or upstairs plumbing. Service is widely described as warm and attentive, but a few report billing or refund issues, unhelpful responses to maintenance problems, or rare downgrades without proper adjustment, and several find prices high for the experience. Expect a charming, view-forward retreat with lots included and a largely serene vibe.

They said there was a complimentary breakfast, but it was more than that. It was breakfast and a pre-dinner snack. And I would like to add, the chef (Antonio) was excellant. This was not your inclusive free meal. Everything made was so good. I loved it. Also the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. If you ask for something, you got it with a smile.

This is a beautiful hotel in an amazing location. We walked around the area for dinner, so many options. The rooms are very spacious, the bed is comfortable. The shower pressure is fantastic! There is even a huge tub, and they give you their custom bath salts. Fire place. Breakfast is served each morning, and it is delicious. I guess the only negative I would say… As we did not stay long enough!! Cannot wait to return.

The hotel was nice and the breakfast was good. They had gluten free and regular chocolate chip cookies in the lobby and tea. Staff was friendly. The room was clean and bed was very comfortable. They had Fiji water bottles in the room instead of regular cheap water bottles which was really nice and the bathroom has a jacuzzi tub which was great! I also loved that they provided a loofa scrubbing pad, lavender bath salts and slippers. The only bad things were that the walls were pretty thin. I could hear sounds from the hall while h was laying in the bed. There’s no access to the beach but a nice view and sitting benches

Mixed review here. The location is wonderful the concept is great with the bed and breakfast feel. I would say the rooms definitely need updating. The carpets are old and have a smell. The bathroom tiles are black and dark green and need a good scrub or replacement. The lighting is low in the shower so the sludge that has built up in the shower corner on the black tile is difficult to see. The property is very quiet and peaceful. Has great walk-to places and parking/navigation is easy. Overall a good stay but the photos on line are much different than the actual rooms. Or maybe we were given one that was just not updated.

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Our room overlooked the marina, and the views were amazing. The staff were also really great. The breakfast was great, and the the cheese and wine (happy hour) in the afternoon between 4:30 and 5 was a really nice touch. The hotel was really quiet. Local food options were also great. I would highly recommend this hotel and we will be back.

Night manager Kathleen rude and unnecessarily insensitive to us because we booked through Expedia. The General Manager however was appalled at our experience with Kathleen upon arrival, upgraded our room, extended our stay in the finest room on the property and did her best to make our stay absolutely delightful. Because of her we would not hesitate to return and recommend this property without reservation. She deserves 6 out of 5 stars.

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.

Room was ok. For the price of $800.00 it definitely left a lot to be desired. But the worst thing is I had a prepaid room yet they charged my card the full price again at check in plus a $300.00 deposit so all in total $2000.00 which if I wouldn't have caught it on my bank statement never would of gotten it back. I called they did refund me hardly an apology at all. And i had to wait almost 2.5 weeks to get my refund. On top of it all I stayed in the room less than 12 hours as my uncle had passed away and I had to rush out. When I told them in the morning the breakfast I had ordered the night before would need to be cancelled they hardly had a care at all. After all that still charged me 50+ dollars on a breakfast I didn't get to eat. No offers of a discounted or upgraded stay In the future. Just yeah our mistake it's been refunded. Used to love this place. Won't be staying again.

Location
Scenic clifftop setting over Dana Point Harbor that’s quiet and walkable to restaurants and shops, with easy parking. Beach access isn’t direct and often requires a drive or many steps.

Beautiful Ocean views on a cliff right over Baby Beach and the harbor. Excellent central Dana Point location in a classy relaxed setting with a friendly staff. Good breakfasts and they set out some wine and cheese and snacks in the afternoon. Highly recommend.

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.

Dining
Complimentary hot breakfast receives strong praise for quality and variety, and the afternoon wine-and-cheese is a favorite; cookies and tea are noted. Some wished breakfast started earlier or felt the wine or some items were basic.

They said there was a complimentary breakfast, but it was more than that. It was breakfast and a pre-dinner snack. And I would like to add, the chef (Antonio) was excellant. This was not your inclusive free meal. Everything made was so good. I loved it. Also the staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. If you ask for something, you got it with a smile.

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!

Boutique hotel with large upscale hotel amenties and services. Staff super friendly and helpful. Breakfast offered everything, even Gluten Free options and alternative milk (Almond, Soy). Afternoon "happy hour" with appetizers and wine was the perfect way to cap the day after working at a conference.

We were delighted to spend 2 nights at Blue Lantern with a deck with a panoramic view of the harbor. The room was comfortable and spacious. The greeting by the staff was friendly with a welcome drink. The afternoon wine and appetizers were delicious. The breakfast in the morning was very tasty and extensive (more of an European touch than the dismal American corporate type). I highly recommend!
