“Well worth a stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 28, 2012

I've posted a few other reviews of hotels in San Clemente CA. As a way to manage my costs, I'm looking for best value. This hotel has the best value for me. i stayed at another Inn in San Clemente and this one is the best for me. While there could be more freeway noise, if you ask for a room away from the freeway, it can't be heard. Rooms are clean, updated, and well appointed. The staff has been very friendly. This has the best breakfast. The eggs are good and do not taste powered, a real plus for me. They even have a pancake maker. You will need to follow directions as its a little out of the way. I've stayed here about 4 times in as many weeks and plan to return next week

“Pleasantly surprised”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 27, 2012

Beautifully updated room appears newly remodeled, and comes with a balcony. Very nicely appointed with lots of unexpected extras.
Would recommend it overall, with just one complaint about the noisy exhaust fan that accompanies the bathroom light.
Wish they would extend time for breakfast, as we awoke late and had to hurry to eat by 9:30.

Room Tip: Would recommend asking for a second floor room, to avoid hearing footsteps on your ceiling.
