The room was clean and obviously cared for. Air conditioning worked great. It was really quiet - we did not hear any other guests and the hotel was completely booked. We would totally stay there again!

We stayed for one night (it was a Saturday night) and we stayed in room 6. The room was very roomy, clean, and the bed was comfortable. We liked the bathroom and shower which were very clean and the shower was a good size. The staff was very helpful and texted us to communicate instructions on how to turn on the air conditioner for example. That was very helpful! We would stay here again. :)

We loved the clean, simple room for our anniversary adventure in San Clemente. The staff were friendly and helpful, the air conditioner was amazing for the record breaking humidity, and the shared kitchenette saved our dinner one day. Local trolley that takes you to the downtown area and the pier stops feet from the hotel. Overall 10/10 experience, will be returning!

This is an awesome inn. I stayed for 11 nights and it was excellent. This inn is only a 15 minute walk from the beach, I walked to the beach multiple times each day. Lots of great restaurants in San Clemente. One of the best locations I've visited for vacation, I will definitely return in the near future!

Cozy little place to sleep. My husband and I stayed for one night visiting San Clemente. The room was clean, little bit of noise from traffic, other than that it was a comfortable stay. It is conveniently near restaurants and shops, and short drive to the pier and beach.

The owners were super nice to me when I checked in. I was driving a truck and needed guidance into a space so they came out and gave me their space and directed me into it. They also told me options for dinner and breakfast within walking distance. The bed was comfy, the TV was large and the surroundings were pretty quiet over night. Great spot for a easy overnight stay.
