Great for a brief stay in San Clemente! Had an awesome weekend with the love of my life here. The amenities aren't exactly plentiful here, but the staff was helpful, the room was clean, and it was perfect for a budget weekend trip. The A/C also runs very cold, which was a definite plus! Definitely worth it!

This is an awesome inn. I stayed for 11 nights and it was excellent. This inn is only a 15 minute walk from the beach, I walked to the beach multiple times each day. Lots of great restaurants in San Clemente. One of the best locations I've visited for vacation, I will definitely return in the near future!

Cozy little place to sleep. My husband and I stayed for one night visiting San Clemente. The room was clean, little bit of noise from traffic, other than that it was a comfortable stay. It is conveniently near restaurants and shops, and short drive to the pier and beach.

The owners were super nice to me when I checked in. I was driving a truck and needed guidance into a space so they came out and gave me their space and directed me into it. They also told me options for dinner and breakfast within walking distance. The bed was comfy, the TV was large and the surroundings were pretty quiet over night. Great spot for a easy overnight stay.
