This is an awesome inn. I stayed for 11 nights and it was excellent. This inn is only a 15 minute walk from the beach, I walked to the beach multiple times each day. Lots of great restaurants in San Clemente. One of the best locations I've visited for vacation, I will definitely return in the near future!

Cozy little place to sleep. My husband and I stayed for one night visiting San Clemente. The room was clean, little bit of noise from traffic, other than that it was a comfortable stay. It is conveniently near restaurants and shops, and short drive to the pier and beach.
