Beach Vibes!

A gem in beautiful San Clemente! Owners are very warm and welcoming. Renovated rooms with a wonderful beach theme and easy parking. The free trolley to the pier (with very friendly drivers) stops nearby. Only here overnight but we’ll be back!

It was a little retro and super cute, well maintained, clean. We felt safe and it had a cute little court yard. The owners were so sweet and accommodating. Great location. We will certainly stay there again if the opportunity arises! They did a beautiful and fun job in updating the property. Fun color scheme, nice and tastefully decorated. Highly recommend!

The people are wonderful to deal with, and the rooms are very clean and a great location. If you are looking for a good clean standard room with really no great bells or whistles but a wonderful place to rest your head without worrying about bugs crawling across you. This place is wonderful. I will definitely stay again in the future

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
Pros: Safe area Easy parking Kitchen area open til 10pm Blow dryer, lotion, shampoo & conditioner, packs of shaving cream are for use. Cons: The property is next to a main street which stayed busy throughout the evening and could affect your sleeping if you're a light sleeper. I did find hairs and stains on my linens and also a hair on my face towels so that was a bit concerning. I advised front desk, they offered to change the sheets but I was too tired. They advised they dont use commercial washers for their linens, just ones in the back of house. The towels are very basic, smaller sized and generic. They charge $25 if you use the white face towels and make-up gets on them. Also, they require a $200 deposit upon check in, they run it for the full amount, its not a soft hold. They do not take debit cards, apple pay or anything other than a major credit card. All in all, its whats expected from a low star motel.
