Decided to stay the night after our family Christmas eve gathering in San Clemente. We'd been driving from vacation in Tahoe and after 8 hours in the car, were thankful for the comfortable bed. Spending Christmas eve here is becoming as much a tradition as visiting family in San Clemente. Compared to other options around, this is the best place... More

The rooms are nice and clean, the location is safe and quiet. I stayed in the Shaggy room, it was very comfortable and clean, the bathroom was fine and there was plenty of space in the room. The lady at the front desk is really nice and welcoming, the service is really good. I absolutely recommend it, the price is... More

This is a cute place. The staff was very friendly and greeted me with a glass of wine after a long day of traveling. The BBQ area in the middle of the property was very nice to hang out and enjoy the sunshine. It is cheap, but you get what you paid for. When I walked in to the room,... More

We loved the outdoor bbq area even though we didn't bbq. Sat out there and drank a glass of wine with my sweetie and less than 30 feet from our room. Felt kinda like a Melrose type place. The gal at the front desk was super nice and friendly - I would stay here again. More

I was in San Clemente for just one night doing some photography. I didn't want nor need the ammenities of a larger chain but at the same time as a woman traveling solo, I didn't want to sacrafice safety. The Inn satisfied my needs. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful and gave me a "small town" feel. Where else... More

After seeing the great reviews here we were very excited to stay at this little retro hotel. Please know that this is a budget hotel with NO A/C. It is right on a busy street. Unfortunately our experience was not that great. Dana, the manager was very accommodating. top marks for service. She gave us our choice of rooms and... More

The Inn at Calafia Beach was our first stop on a 2 week journey through California, and we couldn't have asked for more. Very sweet, themed rooms greet the weary traveller, with a comfortable bed, well maintained facilities, and within a stones throw from shopping, the beach and some excellent dining. Dana runs the Inn, and we found her advice... More
