Top San Clemente Hotel Reviews

The Surfbreak Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great.Julie is a doll. Would definitely stay there again. No complaints "

Americas Best Value Inn San Clemente Beach

8/10 Good

"Loved this hotel and location. Very convenient to the beach, and local restaurants. Very clean and quiet. My only concern was for the limited parking. There is a bar next door that takes parking from the hotel on weekends and makes parking at night difficult. Other than that, our stay was wonderful and we will definitely be returning soon. Thank you for having us. "

Casablanca Inn

6/10 Okay

"The breakfast menu was fresh but very repetitious. Should at least change it up a bit for week ends. Rooms are dated. Need to refresh, get rid of carpet. Air conditioning was so so. Rooms are dark and since the window overlooks the walking area couldn't leave curtains open. I ould not stay there again under the current conditions."
