Really super place to stay. The owners were really welcoming. It’s an old style motel which has been redone in a fresh contemporary style. It was very quiet and felt very safe. Everything was super clean. Nice place for breakfast called Sugar Shack is just next door. Easy access to pier and local bars, restaurants without any noise from being too close. Ideal. 100% recommended

Beach Vibes!

A gem in beautiful San Clemente! Owners are very warm and welcoming. Renovated rooms with a wonderful beach theme and easy parking. The free trolley to the pier (with very friendly drivers) stops nearby. Only here overnight but we’ll be back!
