Top San Clemente Hotel Reviews

San Clemente Inn

San Clemente Inn

8/10 Good
"You cant beat the price for the one bedroom suite, especially with the kitchenette. The one downside is that the property is a little dated which makes the soundproofing a little lacking compared to more modern properties. All in all a great value for the money and we had a great time!"

Patriots Boutique Motel

Patriots Boutique Motel

10/10 Excellent
"It did it's job. It was a simple one floor level hotel we stayed one night in. We wanted a place to sleep and be near food. It also was an easy drive the next day to coffee and the pier after checkout. Staff was very friendly and room was cute and homey. We would stay here again. Price was a little higher than we would expect for this type of hotel, BUT given it's location I can understand the price point."
