8/10 Good
"We stood 2 nights and overall our stay was pretty good. My girls enjoyed the pool. The breakfast was good. We stood on the 1st floor which was a bad choice on our part because we could hear footsteps all throughout the night. If you are able, I suggest staying on the top floor. The place is really nice plus the staff were super helpful and friendly. Restaurants and entertainment nearby."

10/10 Excellent
"I have stayed here multiple times and it’s awesome. This place is perfect if you’re looking for a low key San Clemente place with great location for the beach, golf course, or some place near, but not too close, to downtown. The owners are tremendous and always seem to have a good group of folks staying here. I don’t know what you call the hang out out spot in front, but it’s a cool/funky place to chill out at the end of a day. Next time I go, especially if it’s during August, I’m bringing a telescope. 😀"
