I put my parents up in the Surf and Sand last August and they thought it was an absolute dump, especially for $425 a night! The rooms were old; furnished in 1980's style. The place resembled more of a motel. Location is what they have going for them, but that's it. Needless to say, they complained to the manager (he agreed that they badly needed to renovate) and moved over to the St. Regis where they were much happier with a room that was $100 less.

I've heard the same thing, Jason.
S/n/S seems to survive based on its location, not room quality.
The St. Regis has done all the right things to create a great physical property, but the service gets mediocre reviews as being spotty.

Hmmmm.... A friend traveling in OC on business stayed at the Surf and Sand last year (on his own nickel) and raved about the place! I guess it's all a matter of taste. But if they're willing to stay down in Dana Point, the St. Regis would be a fine choice.
