San Clemente Inn

8/10 Good
"The room we were in had a device attached to the ceiling and it kept setting off a variety of light throughout the night. We didn't know if it was a fire alert or something else. We checked outside our room and no other guests were evacuating so we just stayed in the room. The light show ended after 2 hours, then started up again around 4am. Very annoying and we lost sleep."
