My aunt was having people over at her place in San Clemente so my boyfriend and I wanted to stay at a hotel near by. My aunt looked up this place and since she recommended it, I assumed she thought it was good. So WRONG... We arrived and the lobby was a tiny room with a random cheap wood desk. We looked at each other because we were not keen on staying. Either way, we arrived late so we just decided to try it out. It was $100 per night and it was not even worth $10 per night! The room was filthy that when I spilled water on the floor, the white towel turn grey. The room was just BAD all around. We got there to sleep and didn't want to sleep on the bed so we lied a blanket that I brought from home to sleep on top. I was freezing all night since we had nothing to cover ourselves with and we got woken up at 5:00 am by the trains! Biggest mistake ever to stay there. Go down the street to the double tree inn, do not waste a dime here.
My visit was in 2009, but I can't imagine it has gotten any better.
