Almost 5 years after our first visit we returned for a 5 day stay in September 2011. Still the knock out view and we LOVE coming to SoCal from Chicago for R&R. Relatively quiet and peaceful location gave us time to recharge our batteries. But, sadly, nothing has been improved since our last visit. The rooms are very dated, bathroom... More

We stayed here for our anniversary for 2 nights in January 2012. The reason I have waited so long to give a review is because I couldn't think of a good way to voice my opinions. This is a fabulous property and has so much potential, but I can't give a good rating just for the view. I love quaint... More

The Beachcomber Motel is an older small motel but it sits on a cliff overlooking the Pacific and has the best view in San Clemente. They were in the process of doing upgrades on the rooms, while trying to keep the quaint integrity of the property. If you like ultra modern with all the bells and whistles, this is not... More

The view is the best in San Clemente! the staff was friendly and attentive. We just stayed there last night (3/29/2012) in room #4, a studio. The room was nicely furnished. The furniture was a bit worn, the bathroom a bit small, BUT, overall, it was very comfy, excellent view from the front patio as well as from inside. This... More

The location of this place is just beautiful, the grounds were keep very well. But it stoped there, our room was disgusting #8. It really needs updating. Bathroom very small,not a shelf in shower or out side in bathroom, no where to put your stuff. Our blanket on bed had rips in them, the couch was dirty and felt it.... More

Such a peaceful place to stay. The rooms are just okay but I'm sitting on the porch looking out over the ocean and too relaxed and at peace to care about much of anything. Life is good. More

For me, it doesn't really get much better than this. You can have your W hotels (and I've stayed at plenty of those too), this place will always seem like a little piece of heaven to my wife and I. Stayed here last summer, quite by accident after ending our stay at Disneyland and finding our next location (with a... More

My goodness what a location! My family (including two small children) enjoyed two nights here recently. It's a quick walk to the beach and town and enjoys the most beautiful hilltop location you could ask for. Each night we enjoyed the firepit and grassy area outside our room. The room itself isn't much, but it does have a full kitchen.... More

Best location we have stayed in for sunset and pacific coast. Its a motel so it was never 5* but its location is great. Compared to others we have stayed in this one was a little bit pricey. We didnt know about the railway line at the end of the garden but it was OK. The location makes this hotel... More
