I had a fantastic stay in the "Bali Room". The staff really made me feel like family, and I got way more value than I expected for my budget. The location is perfect, right in the heart of San Clemente, making it easy to explore nearby restaurants and the beach. However, I wish we could’ve stayed longer!

I had an incredible week at this newly opened hotel in San Clemente! The super comfy beds, excellent food, and friendly owners made my stay a delight. It's just a block away from downtown and the beach, which is perfect for both relaxation and adventure. However, I found the bunkroom a bit cozy for my liking, though it was still comfortable enough. I can't wait to come back!

Staying at this hotel felt like visiting a friend's home rather than a typical hotel. The rooms were distinct and cozy, offering a comfortable space to relax. The highlight was the fantastic food and drink options right upstairs at the cantina. However, since our stay was short, I wish we had more time to explore the amenities. Overall, the value was exceptional, especially with the added perks like sunset beer coupons.

I had an awesome stay at the hotel, especially during the four-day surf package. The rooms were cozy and modern, and the staff made me feel right at home. It was great to have fantastic food available throughout the day. However, the bunkroom could be a bit tight for four people, and I'd recommend considering the private rooms for a more spacious experience.
