A bit dated. The lobby is nice, but the rooms are typical beach hotels rooms. You can walk to the beach – a bit of a walk - and it is close to the highway for convenience.

This is a hidden gem in San Clemente. The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The grounds had a lot of activities for everyone to enjoy (pool, jacuzzi, games room, outdoor minigolf etc.). The restaurant was closed but I hear it is opening soon again. This hotel is near the beach, but it is a bit of a walk. It is in more of a residential community, so no food options close nearby, but the room had a fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, cooktop etc.- (with pots/pans/ cups/silverware) so you could bring your own food and cook. The grounds even had access to an outdoor BBQ. You do pay $25 parking rate per car/per day so keep that in mind when you book. I would definitely stay again!

Warning: Theft at this hotel. My bag disappeared from my car in their parking lot. The Management is not giving the police access to the security camera footage. Just stay elsewhere.

Suites are spacious, clean and quiet. Staff were all professional and helpful. Only unfortunate thing (hence the minus 1 star) is the $25 nightly parking fee was unexpected and felt a little exploitive when they have their own lot with plenty of room and the hotel isn’t located in a dense urban environment. Who’s not driving here? Just include the cost in your rooms.

This place is so cool! Huge rooms, great amenities and lovely staff. It’s older but in a charming way. I booked a room and ended up with a gorgeous suite with a kitchenette. Bed wasn’t the comfiest but you’ll be spending so much time at the beach it won’t matter 🙂

enjoyed a peaceful stay, kinda close to the beach - 5-10 min. walk down/up the hill. a little bit farther away from downtown but not too far, very drive-able, fairly safe and secure area, it was a nice 1 week stay for us.

Love the location - walk to the beach! I didn't like the smell of the room though - it smelled like Grandpa's cabin. It has that musty, woody smell particular to old houses. Bought a spray air refresher and much better. Would like to see more engagement at the restaurant/bar. Maybe have some specials to bring people in. Hot tub had way too much chlorine and it slightly burned our skin. Closed shortly thereafter. Impeccable grounds with lots of amenities.

Mattress not very comfortable, but overall the Studio room was a perfect size for 2 people. The room came stocked with everything you need for a kitchen and the bigger fridge was a plus. The 10 minute walk to the beach was perfect. The staff was very friendly.
