The property manager was extremely rude, The staff was noisy and then they had the gall to complian how i closed my door.(which was accidental). The manager smoked in the hallway and it reeked. I work nights and the manager complained because I was sleeping during the day and didn't answer the door when the maids came (I did not hear them) and there was no "do not disturb" sign provided. The air conditioning sucked and the road noise is terrible. The price was very high also.

The good news is there are good restaurants and bars surrounding.

I would stay here again if I wanted a place to crash and that was it. The location was ok because there's a really great Mexican restaurant - El Mariachi, across the street as well as a walk's distance to shops and other eateries.

The room wasn't too bad. It was actually in a lot better than the Best Western Casablanca room I stayed in the weekend before. The hotel was close to an apartment/residential area which made it seem a little "rough". I've been frequenting SC every weekend and I'm bound determined to stay at an affordable hotel that isn't run down and that is located in a decent area/vicinity to everything else.

I'm writing this a week later and for $10 more I found a hotel that was a little farther from the main SC area, but the room was MUCH nicer and it included a full, HOT breakfast buffet in the morning. Worth doing your research and seeing if you can find something else.

The staff wasn't bad at all. This seems like a mom and pops operation and it's not their fault that the hotel doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the bigger chains. The internet was free so that was a plus. For the price it isn't bad. Like I said for $10 I was able to feed 3 people a hot breakfast the next day that included an updated room.

Do your research! If this ends up being the cheapest stay it really isn't that bad though!

San Clemente is expensive, you got more to see and experience in Carmel and you have lodging for a lot less in Monterey which is about 10 min from Carmel.

The room was clean, bed comfy. Parking is under the hotel. Not noisy but the AC in room 313B was noisy (it the heater at the same time) so don't take that room. Staff is ok but not to friendly ....

There a small hotel on the other side of the street 1 block more away which have a fire pit outside, bbq and outdoor kitchen that I would recommend (sadly is was foully bock for our stay)

I found the management and cleaning staff very friendly and accomadating. The hotel did need some aesthic updating. However, everything was clean, the bed was comfortable, the room was larger than expected and the price couldn't be beat. There is also an amazing place to get breakfast right across the street.
