Last second booking and it was basic hotel but clean and NO BED BUGS this is the most important in a hotel .The bathroom was weird with no showers, because the Jacuzzi was outside the bathroom next to the bed. The parking is limited and very compact. The bed little hard and tv was outdated but overall it was average... More

For the money its an excellent place for a nights sleep. Manager Henry is great. Close to the main street and freeway. OC Tavern about a block away. 2 good restaurants within. 100 yards. Some freeway noise. But bang for your buck in South San Clemente you can't beat this Budget Clean and functional. Small fridge and microwave.

This is your basic, no frills hotel. If you just need a place to sleep for the night, this will do. CONS - Office manager was crabby and the TV was a tri-color unit (the screen had 3 tints of color on it) from 1987 but does have HBO! PROS- The Wi-Fi worked really well which was a nice surprise....

I would stay here again if I wanted a place to crash and that was it. The location was ok because there's a really great Mexican restaurant - El Mariachi, across the street as well as a walk's distance to shops and other eateries. The room wasn't too bad. It was actually in a lot better than the Best Western... More

San Clemente is expensive, you got more to see and experience in Carmel and you have lodging for a lot less in Monterey which is about 10 min from Carmel. The room was clean, bed comfy. Parking is under the hotel. Not noisy but the AC in room 313B was noisy (it the heater at the same time) so don't... More

I found the management and cleaning staff very friendly and accomadating. The hotel did need some aesthic updating. However, everything was clean, the bed was comfortable, the room was larger than expected and the price couldn't be beat. There is also an amazing place to get breakfast right across the street.

Husband and I came here with our baby, with no reservation. The manager not only let us check in early, but gave us a suite, which was perfect for us, so that baby could have his own room. I was pleasantly surprised with how nice the room was for the price that we paid. The bed was quite firm, but... More

After reading the reviews I was worried about staying here, but everything was just fine. As forewarned, the check-in desk staff was outstandingly unfriendly, but so what. At this price pampering does not have to be included. Hopefully a person would be able to call a friend if their feelings got hurt. The room was just fine by budget standards,... More
