Surfbreak Hotel

This little gem in San Clemente is located right off the main road, with the beach so close. I rode one of the hotel provided bikes to the beach for a sunset dinner on the water, and came back to a cozy bed and clean room. I like that they have a completely contact-less digital check-in and digital room access too. I chose not to use the first amenity, but so nice that they have it. The staff was super, Julie did my check in and she met me with a smile and was very helpful with local suggestions. This was my first time to stop here while driving down the coast, lovely stay.

I stayed at the Surfbreak Hotel in San Clemente for a wedding, and unfortunately the experience was terrible from start to finish. Multiple people in our group complained about a strong sulfur smell coming from the sink drains, and my partner and I had to switch rooms three different times because the door code pads kept failing. The worst part was a sewage backup in our bathroom, which caused sewage to overflow out of the sink drain into a waterfall onto the floor — absolutely unacceptable for any hotel.|The front desk manager did everything she could and was genuinely helpful, but the hotel’s upper management never followed through on the refund they promised for the issues we experienced. After waiting over a month, we had no choice but to dispute the charge with our credit card company

I had an amazing stay here! The room was very clean and spacious, and the swan towels/little welcome goodies made it feel extra special. I could see the ocean from my room, which made mornings so peaceful. I also appreciated the coffee bar downstairs and the convenient bike and beach rentals. Parking was easy and free, which is rare and so appreciated. Plus, the hotel being pet-friendly is a huge bonus. Truly such a comfortable and thoughtful place to stay. I can't wait come back!

Sad to say it’s not good quality about the service.

Julie & Addison were great.. This was the cutest little hotel right off the freeway.. the cafe credit for food was delicious and honored.. the donuts store across the way was perfect treat.. I’d recommend staying here.. it was like a small town feel .. we will be back!!
