San Clemente Inn

I dropped off a friend and checked the place out before I left. Excellent and understanding night staff. (Hit the handicap door button to get in the automatic door at night) Lobby is nice and spacious (the 2 chairs by the stairs are good for short legs) and overlooks the pool and mini-golf setup. You can check out racquets for the tennis courts and paddle for the pickleball courts, the pickleball courts share space with the basketball backboard. The claim is a 10 minute walk to the beach and since this is off Ave. Calafia, I strongly suspect there's some uphill involved, since I didn't walk it, I don't know if there's stairs or if it's wheelchair accessible. I used to know someone who lived by the pedestrian bridge. Not sure you can see the beach from the property. The rooms are older

Positive: Location and amenities Negative: The room we were in (164) needed a deep cleaning and shower repairs. The bathroom doors were dirty and the corner of the shower was separating. Also, someone’s dog pooped out behind our patio and left the pile there.

Budget resort. Everything is a little dated and not the best but overall great for the $$. Set your expectations right and you’ll likely be happy. Lots of families here. Hot tub was crowded but hot and nice. Gym was decent. Pool felt nice. Bed in room was decently comfortable. Close to a really cool beach. You can drive there and park on the hill for free to avoid paying for beach parking (or walk but it’s a long uphill walk back to the hotel). It seems like most rooms do NOT have a view. Overall had a great time.

Our family of 5 had a great stay! Amazing amenities (pool, lawn games, game room, bbq just to name a few). We enjoyed the beach that was in walking distance and the 8 minute drive to San Clemente pier. We are already thinking about when we want to come back!

There was a planned power and water outage on the one night I stayed at the San Clemente Inn. Power was scheduled to be off from 9:00 pm to 4:00 am. Water was to be off intermittently. I was only notified of this outage after providing my credit card at check in. Then it was "by the way, you won't have power or water". As promised, the power shut off at 9:00 pm. At 3:45 AM, I was woken by all the lights coming on in my room along with the tv. While the planned power/water outage was not something the Inn could control, they could have notified people with reservations in advance so we could decide if we still wanted to stay there. They also could have reimbursed me some of the reservation fee, but they didn't. They were notified of the outage on the Sunday before my Thursday rese
