Ryan, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

In the room we had, there was flooring that had been “patched” but it was very weak and scary to walk around. As if we would fall through to the downstairs. Terrible parking. The A.c. worked but not the entire time, it struggled to keep the room cool. The plus, was checking in was super easy, the bed was incredibly comfortable and we were in a very nice quiet area.

Great service and the beds are sooooo comfortable
Ricky, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was a pretty nice stay, quiet a laid back, it’s small so not a lot of people and the owners were very adamant on helping in any way they could. Giving ideas for places to go, places for food, and even offering surf boards you can rent.

Hotel is clean and beds are conformable. Easy check in a staff was very helpful. Close to many places to eat and shop. Beach is a few minutes drive, very close. Over all we had a great stay.
Jose, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Employee who checked me in was very welcoming and friendly. Parking was free and easy. Room was decorated nice and clean although some things could be retouched or deep cleaned, not a big deal. The overall value for what it was plus the proximity to the freeway and beach was excellent. Only major issue was the street noise that can be heard even with the windows closed; it kept me up at night.
Angela, 1-night trip

My FAVORITE hotel to stay at while visiting San Clemente! It’s decorated so cute, has so much space and the staff are the absolute best! Thank you!

The keypad was really hard to work.And we had to ask for assistance to get in several times.
Rochelle, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I have stayed here twice now and love it every time. The rooms are updated & have new appliances and furniture. Great location right across from Del Mar and El Camino Real with shopping and dining. Modern beach feel and decor, super comfortable, and AFFORDABLE. Only complaint I had with my most recent stay is that the TV in our room was very laggy and slow. Other than that everything was perfect
