"Great Hidden Gem in San Clemente. Staff was very friendly, mini golf course was so cute and lots of activities spaces. Loved the spaciousness and the cleanliness of our room. Our room wasn't noisy which was a huge plus. Enjoyed the restaurant inside of the hotel. Very surprised by how great the food was! Overall had a great time : ) Personally felt the only downside is the per night parking charge and the early 10am checkout time. Other than this - you will absolutely love it!"
