5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012 NEW

I've stayed here a handful of times and never had a single problem. The rooms are nicely decorated and the beds are extremely comfortable. Continental breakfest was deluxe (hard-boiled & scrambled eggs, waffles, bagels, yogurt, fruit) and they have warm chocolate chip cookies in the afternoon. This hotel is right off the highway, so don't expect to hear the ocean... More

Thank you for this great review! And yes, we agree, San Clemente visitors should definitely check out the downtown area around Avenida Del Mar with its unique shops and great dining options. More

We stayed one night at this property, Dec 2011, and without a GPS, it may have been hard to find; but well worth the search! Once found, the building was of spanish style, and our first floor room had a fridge, micro,coffemaker, contemporary furnishing and lovely marble/granite counter tops and flooring. Altho close to the freeway, our room was very... More

We won this hotel through pricelines name your own price and got a great deal. The hotel is in a beautiful spanish style building in a great location in San Clemente. Although it was close to the freeway, we asked for a room far away from it and didnt hear any noise from our room. Our room had a nice... More

Our hostess was very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable. The only drawback was the free breakfast. Parts of if were pretty unappetizing. More

Don't be confused that this is a resort, but a good clean place to sleep. The service is friendly, although the location is a bit obscure as you wind through a strip mall parking lot to gain access to the hotel. But it's quite adequate for visiting Camp Pendleton, doing business, visiting family/friends or on your way to somewhere else.... More

The property is beautiful, almost like a mission on a hill. Lobby is all remodeled and they offer a free breakfast very similar to other hotels. The room was large, but had a strong bad smell. Even with sliding door open all night, still had a strong smell. We booked the room through an internet booking agency. When we brought... More

My experience from beginning to end was very positive. Kuddo's to Guzy Johnson the front desk supervisor for all of her help from getting me exactly the right room (I'm a light sleeper) and for just being super cheerful everyday. The entire staff was most cooperative, if you needed anything at all they were more than happy to accomodate you.... More

I have stayed at this hotel many times for many extended business trips and I will never stay anywhere else. The rooms are large, and clean. there is ample well lit parking. And the location provides several great resturants in walking distance. Most importantly the staff is extremely friendly and will ensure all your needs are met. More

The property has been fully renovated. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. You get all of the quality you'd expect from regular Holiday Inn at an Express price. Most of the staff were wonderful. The sole exception was a miserable night clerk. Parking in the upper lot can be an issue. We were there on a weekend. There were... More
