First Hotel Reservation made!

Finally finally finally...made the very first hotel reservation for our first few days in California. I really wanted to try and get a hotel right on the beach, but.... you gotta be rockerfella to do that! So, i found something in Dana Point, about 300 yards from the beach, right acros from Pacific coast highway. Pictures look good, but ofcourse they always do!
So, we'll see.
Now off to get hotels in Palm Beach next...

Some additions to this post after having stayed at this hotel: Doubletree Guest Suites Doheny Beach:

Well it's pretty clean, and the staff is very friendly. The rooms are (much) smaller than we expected, from the pictures. The location is pretty good, although it is sandwiched between the Pacific coast highway, the I405 access road, and another road, in a triangle. There is a campground between the beach and this hotel, and one can't help but wonder wether the campers have the better deal as they are actually located on the beach, and further away from the traffic noise. Although i must say that at night we were not really bothered by traffic noise. Perhaps the traffic is just less at night.

I can't really criticize the hotel, but i don't think we'll come here again. It's just not as nice as we expected from the pictures.
