My family (wife, daughter, and me) went to the Holiday Inn in San Clemente and had a wonderful time over our anniversary weekend. It is located one block away from Del Mar street, which made it perfectly located to walk to the Arts & Crafts fair that happened to be going on that weekend. Additionally, it's just under a mile...

Extremely pleasant staff. We had an issue with our room and it was quickly taken care of. The central location to downtown San Clemente is awesome. They are pet-friendly. We had our dog with us, Elvis, who is a 4-pound Yorkshire Terrier. He was a hit, and everybody loved him, including the hotel staff. The food in the restaurant (breakfast)... More

Have stayed twice (June 2007 and July 2010). Both good experiences. If you choose this hotel I recommend requesting a room on the ocean side. This reduces freeway noise. Easy walking distance to food, shopping, etc. Nice beach short distance away. Rooms are average and clean. Location is ideal for beach, LA and San Diego day trips.

This is this noisiest hotel. Its located next to interstate 5 and you can hear all the cars on the highway all night. Very hard to sleep. The front desk forgot my wake-up call, maybe they thought I did not need it since the cars did not let me sleep. The room above my room (room 230) must be a... More

This hotel is overrun with dogs...snarling and barking in the elevator and hallways, unleasehed dogs on the patio. The guests whose dogs are causing all the trouble don't care and neither does the Holiday Inn staff. It is unbelievable how noisy it is. I'm checking out 2 days early to get away from it.

Stayed one night visiting my son at Camp Pendleton.

Not happy with that so I stayed just one night and found a better room at Hampton Inn for 30.00 less... More

Was here on business for a few days. No serious complaints about the hotel. I guess I had bad roomies upstairs because I could hear them bashing around, but that's not the fault of the hotel. My hot water was pretty slow in coming (I believe a glacier may have melted waiting for it), but it did get there. I... More
