Room was newly remodeled, clean, comfortable beds. Staff was very friendly as well!

The only thing people may not like is that you do hear some traffic noise at night, but we were able to sleep just fine.

INCIDENT AT 2AM DRUNKARD AT THE PARKING LOT SCREAMING AND CAUSING TROUBLE

The view, close to the beach and stores. Good location...

No outside dumpters for trash. And people were still smoking even its a no smoking site.

Location, super clean, courteous staff-no frills

Exterior didn’t do the interior justice

Lovely hotel! I stayed two nights in mid-May. Because I was waiting for my son to come home from deployment, I wanted a hotel close to the Camp Pendleton San Mateo gate. And, because I wouldn’t know until he actually landed somewhere what time he’d be showing up, I didn’t want to wander far from my hotel. So I was in the room a lot. Check in was fast and easy, and the folks at the front desk were just as nice as could be. I had a king room, which included a sleeper sofa and a gorgeous walk in shower! The room was spotless. It included a small refrigerator with freezer, microwave, hair dryer, and a Keurig coffee maker! The bed was wonderful. FOUR big soft pillows, a fluffy comforter, and pillow-top mattress. The air conditioner was a bit loud, but it didn’t keep me from sleeping at all. I would definitely stay here again!

As I like to include “heads up” things in my reviews, please note the following: The hotel can charge a $100 deposit at check in. El Camino Real is a major thoroughfare in San Clemente. That means a lot of traffic during the day and on into the evening. But it was pretty quiet from about 11pm to 6am. However, if you want to sleep early and have a street-facing room, it could be an issue. I didn’t have any trouble sleeping even when the traffic was going by.

convenient

Nothing!!

Staff was rude, no continental breakfast, the grounds were a wreck. No ice.

Room was clean, bed spreads had lots of cigarette burns, and the room needed some TLC, but it was all around pretty clean.

Location was less than desirable, very loud because it is on PCH, air conditioner/fan wouldn't stay on for more than like 3 minutes at a time ... we checked in at 4pm, and they are using the "night window" that they opened 2 inches and talked to us as if we were dangerous people, or in a dangerous place. The parking in the "back" is extremely questionable and downright sketchy!
