Parking was easy, rooms were clean and comfortable, staff was very nice. The lights in the bathroom could have been brighter as my eyes need more light :-). Plugs for charging our phones could have been more convenient. The location is great, easy walking to shopping and restaurants.

It’s centrally located in San Clemente and you can easily walk to nearby restaurants and shops. It’s an older property but rooms are renovated and clean. I was visiting family that lives nearby so i didn’t need a lot of amenities but it’s close to the freeway so you will hear some noise.
