“High-quality Holiday Inn!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

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 at night! Make sure you visit downtown San Clemente - it's one of prettiest towns in Orange County.

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.

“Contemporary,comfortable!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

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 quiet and comfortable. The included breakfast was good;had ample items, both hot and cold. The on- demand pancake maker was fun! We will definitely recommend this prorperty, and look forward to staying here in the future!
All staff members were friendly, courteous and helpful when needed.
Thank you Kathy Weiss for the courtesy!

“Very nice hotel, great location and even better prices.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

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 balcony, fridge and microwave. Parking is free and it also comes with a free breakfast, which was decent. Our room was very clean and the beds were very comfy. The staff was excellent and accomidating to our every request. We will definately stay here again.

“Nice place to stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

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.

“Good Stopover”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2011

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. Still, the parking/WI FI/ newspaper/simple breakfast are all free.
