Pros: Great location and value for area.Covered parking and electric car charging stations.Cons: Property needs improvements. They still use the signage from when this was an IHG property. Desk chair in my room was peeling and very used looking. Air conditioning doesn’t cool well. Very loud road noise from I-5 directly behind property. We were assigned a room that faced the highway even when the property wasn’t busy and had plenty of rooms available. Was told we had a bath, then we didn’t. $2.75 for a can of sprite from the vending machine.

Thank you soooo much for the beautiful beach facing room in this boutique hotel in San Clemente. Jose, the General Manager, assured us with the best accommodations. Tray, the front desk gave terrific restaurant recommendations, and we were steps away from the fun on the main street digs! Thank you, thank you! Highly recommend this hotel in San Clemente!!!!

The hotel is a little bit out of dated and could use some remodeling. There are always some sort of random stains on the wall and sometimes the tub doesn't drain well. With all of that said, we have stayed at this hotel. Probably 4 to 5 times. The location is excellent. It's literally one block away from Del Mar Boulevard. Parking is really easy at this location and there are so many local shops and restaurants within walking distance. This location has really affordable suites, which is great for my family of four. We always get the two bedroom suite because you can never have enough space. For this, the price ranges generally from $200-$250 nightly on the weekends. They have complementary coffee and water downstairs. They also provide free beach towels, which is great because you can just drop those back off at the front desk and not track sand up to your room. The staff working there, from the housekeeping crew to the front desk agents, deserve a five star rating.

The room I had here had the worst shower I have had since I was in the Army. The "pause" button on the shower head turned water off but the button got stuck so it wouldn't turn the water back on. Instead of starting my day with a nice hot shower, I started it with a head full of conditioner and covered in soap. The staff shrugged me off with a "meh" when I told them about it.

Roomer room then I was expecting, super nice beds and probably the best tv I've ever gotten in a hotel room. Unbeatable ocean view and walking distance from basically everywhere. Friendly staff, ample parking and a hot tub that was actually perfectly hot. Would happily stay here again. Only downside, where more earwigs than I care to see but can hardly blame them for that

We booked this hotel for a small couples weekend, but unfortunately could not stay. Entering the hotel I noticed it's outdated decor. It's not too bad; it's not trying to be five star, it's economical. Walking through the halls, I noticed that the the carpets smelled of industrial strength deodorizer. Suspicious, but not a deal breaker. We walked in and I noticed an extremely dirty fabric covered bench. Whoever thought to make it fabric had a much more charitable opinion of humanity than I . You don't even have to get close to clearly see all the various offenses to which it had been subjected. Stains galore!Next, I notice a cup mark on the TV cabinet/dresser. Is that picky? Yes. But we've after many exposés on hotel bed bugs and germs, I am anxious about hotel stays. But that wasn't the deal breaker. Because I am afraid of the aforementioned snuggle insects of luxury, I turn the bedsheets down deeply, fully exposing the fitted sheet. The top half of the fitted sheet, the area you are most likely to see, looks clean. Then the deal breaker: The bottom half of the sheet is ridiculously and obviously stained. So? Could be a mistake? I don't think you could make up a bed and not notice an obvious stain on it; it isn't possible unless you are at seeing eye dog levels of vision impairment. Horrified, I theorize: some cleaning person tried to cut corners and didn't bother to clean, or the hotel's method of cleaning sheets doesn't actually remove stains--even obvious ones. Sort of like when your dishwasher sucks and you can see last night's pasta after washing..Even though I'm horrified, because I am dramatic about germs, I turn down the sheets on the other full-sized bed and there are stains as well, but more faint. I'm even more grossed out because who knows what those stains had been before they were poorly washed. I neglected to mention that upon walking into the room we were greeted with icy coolness from the corner air conditioner. My husband switched on the heat a bit to warm the room after we entered, but now that I'm close to the unit, after pulling back the sheets on the second bed, I can see that the thing hasn't been cleaned in some time. There are dust bunnies, and the offspring of dust bunnies. It is so dusty that bunnies are being launched on plumes of air before floating to the carpet. I inadvertently inhaled a bunny, and it tickled my throat. It was unpleasant. I also noticed that the lamps had not been properly wiped. There were residue specks of the dried glue of some long consumed condiment. I cannot wholly blame the hotel for this. What kind of animal grabs lamps with sauced hands? No sense of propriety. Unfortunately, we couldn't stay. I didn't trust the hotel because it was so dirty. I didn't even look for bed bugs. I had seen enough I understand that times are tough. People would rather onlyfans or defraud the government with I'll-gotten PPP loans than work in hospitality. People today mostly hate their jobs. You know, late stage capitalism and all that, but I can't do dirty. The overwhelmed front desk was nice when we complained and left. Best of luck!

I came here to check out the hotel because one of my friends was in town and she staying here. She said her room is really nice so I'm going to check it out it's so cute and I never noticed it before. It's down the street from my favorite sushi place. They have a pool and you can use the San Clemente gym by showing your room key. The rooms are very nice! It's very conveniently located. The girl who works at the front desk is very welcoming. The owner is lucky to have her greeting clients!

It was amazing! Me and my boyfriend are long distance, but were able to meet up at this hotel and omg! The room was absolutely perfect! They helped us set up a romance package to surprise him, let us check in early, and gave us plenty of recommendations on nearby restaurants for us to go for dates. Only downside was the view was a lil blocked by some of the buildings, but we could still see the ocean. Plus it was kinda cool one of the front desk people had a similar name to me lol.

One of THE DIRTIEST hotels I have ever visited. Our sheets were covered in black stains. The lights didn't work in our room. It smelt like smoke. The walls are dirty and covered in

Nice hotel accommodation. Older building motor way in but fixtures were nicely upgraded and well maintained. The hallway carpet however, has to be the highlight of stay, it was cushy and plush and didn’t make a noise. The location is very good to all the activities in downtown and about a 5-10 min walk to main beach/ pier.
