“Fabulous place for an event and out of town guests”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

My event went very smoothly. Neel and the HIX staff were friendly, upbeat and very helpful every step of the way. My guests commented on what a lovely property it was - clean and recently remodeled. They enjoyed the wifi and breakfast. Would do events here again. Close to all of the San Clemente amenities including the ocean. Thanks!

“Exceptional HIExpress with great service!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 24, 2013

Great location off of I-5 "about" half-way between LA and San Diego. Stayed here for two nights as we did various day trips between the two cities. Beautiful Spanish style outside but modern and updated rooms & lobby. In addition to the usual finds in the bathroom- soap, shampoo, lotion there was also cleansing facial wipes for taking makeup off. Had a single king bed but the room also had a nice little couch and coffee table. Off of our room you could see a little bit of an ocean view which was very nice. The hotel staff was friendly and the breakfast delicious and varied.

“A Little Hard To Find With New Rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

This hotel can be a little tricky to find as it is tucked up a hill behind a strip mall. Outside it is a decently kept but older looking hotel however the interior was recently redone is up-to-date. The rooms were very clean and furnished nicely. The location is juts off I-5 and great if you need a stop for the night or want to explore San Clemente. However, you'll have to drive downtown or to the beach or pier so if you plan to spend your time there this may not be the best spot to stay at. However, those areas are a short drive.

“Highly recomended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 19, 2013

I found this hotel to be very clean, quiet, and accommodating Staff were unbelievably kind and warm. It was a little hard to find, but well worth it. From the second I arrived to the second I checked out the staff showed me nothing but kindness. I will be staying there again the next time I visit the San Clemente area.
