For decades, owners and guests of San Clemente Inn have returned to enjoy a relaxing, resort-like experience in one of the most beautiful beach towns in the country. Here are a few reviews from our guests.
Rooms were really nice and comfortable. Staff was gracious and helpful. Nice pool and grounds. Great location, short walk to the beach.
I had a unit that sleeps 6, and it was set up for privacy. Having a full bathroom as well as a powder room was awesome! There were many opportunities nearby - the beach trail took us to the pier, shopping, and food establishments. The 2 night time events at the Inn for adults was fun. Live music is always a plus! Yes, there were activities for kids. I would definitely go back!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We look forward to welcoming you back for another fantastic stay!
The units seemed quite small, and the configuration of the furniture was odd (I believe due to the Murphy beds). The patio was quite large, overlooking the State Park at Calafia. We had issues with the stove, it took 25-30 minutes to heat water in the kettle. We found it difficult to share a Queen bed, but the room was so small there is no way to fit a King. The staff was very friendly, and the property is right next to a trolly stop making it easy to get to shops and restaurants, and the pier and outlet mall. It was about a half mile walk to the beach, and another mile or so to the pier along the beach path. Overall, it was a decent place to stay, if you plan to spend no time in the unit. Unfortunately, we were remote working all week, and felt considerably cooped up.
Love this place! Close to all amusements. The kids and grandkids love all the fun outside games and pool. Restaurant is great.
The resort is falling apart and needs a major remodel.
This was a nice place to stay, this place is part of a vacation ownership. The rooms could be cleaner and I was upset that they didn’t tell me about the $27/night resort fee at the time of booking, it’s not even on their website or the ownership website. The service was great, if we had a problem they resolved it pretty quick.
We really enjoyed our weeklong stay at the San Clemente Inn in May 2025. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bar were awesome. And, there are so many fun things to do there, like mini golf, shuffleboard, pool tables, etc. It’s an older property, but it has been updated and maintained and I think we had the best room in the place, Room 369, gorgeous view of the ocean from the balcony and the last room on the end of the building.
