“The hotel strikes a nice balance, proving a cut above standard chains with its thoughtful, quirky decor. While not directly on the beach, it's a quick jaunt to both the freeway and downtown San Clemente, a location that works especially well for surfers headed to Trestles. The friendly service and small perks, like complimentary water, add a personal touch that stands out.”
