“wonderful visit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

The location of this hotel is great - takes just a few minutes to drive downtown, and very close to several beautiful beaches. Our room was quite spacious, and had a bedroom with a door that divided it from the sitting area. Comfortable and clean. The only complaint about the room was that it was a little too noisy for us. Our room faced the street and the traffic noise could be heard most of the time. When we arrived, were happy to see a balcony door, hoping to keep it open a bit to take in a little more fresh, ocean air. That wasn't a possibility due to the noise from the traffic. Quiet otherwise. Breakfast was good, as we usually find at a Hampton Inn, and always pleased to have it conveniently available every morning, and included. Parking wasn't a problem for us, but could see potential for difficulty finding a spot if hotel is busy. Front desk staff and housekeeping were friendly and helpful. Would surely recommend this hotel.

Room Tip: our room facing street was a little too noisy

“Nearest hotel to Camp Pendleton”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

This is the number one reason why we have stayed there twice.
Plus it's an easy drive down from John Wayne Airport. No matter what time of day.
I actually found it easier to see the exit in the dark!

The hotel is an excellent value for money. The breakfast buffet is SUPER.
I get to try things there that I normally wouldn't bother with at home.

The rooms are spacious. We can watch different TV shows without interruption.
The bathroom really functional.
We are going to buy the loopless shower curtain and the curved rail.
There is nothing worse than wearing a wet shower curtain!
The little balcony is enough to sit out and enjoy the sunrise.

This will be our annual destination for Christmas's to come.
Highly rated for those who have military family at the North end of Camp Pendleton.
THE place to stay.

Room Tip: If you smoke then ask for a room with a balcony. They only have a few and believe much better outsid...

“FAVORITE HOTEL IN SAN CLEMENTE”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

I have stayed with this facility a couple of times per year over the past several years. Service, facilities, ammenities, staff, and location are very nice. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Probably one of the better breakfast presentations I've seen during my travels. I also stay at Hampton Inns during my leisure travels. I recommend it.

Room Tip: Go for the rooms on the 3rd floor with the bedroom facing the coast. Great view and the street noise...

“Top notch”

This hotel was literally a breath of fresh air. Very clean and well run. Rooms are large with two separate areas. Bed was comfortable. Staff was well trained and courteous. Very "can do". Location was quiet and convenient. This hotel is definitely an upgrade and worth the extra cost.

They even had popcorn in the room which was a welcome touch. Free breakfast which we missed.

I highly recommend this hotel.

Room Tip: Its hard to go wrong in this hotel.

“Hampton Inn in San Clemente, CA - What a Great Experience !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

people found this review helpful

I do a great deal of travel for work and I stay exclusively at the Hilton family of hotels, many time Hampton Inns. Most hotels within any chain are passable with very few rising above indifferent service. In my opinion, the Hampton Inn in San Clemente is exceptional. The management, beginning with Rosalind Batterton and all the staff could not be more welcoming and helpful. It is clear to me that they do all they can to create a pleasant experience for their guests. In fact, I genuinely feel like a “guest” when I stay with them. I can tell that they view each interaction through the guest’s eyes. From how they deal with the parking of cars, to an afternoon Manager’s Reception (which I have not seen at any other Hampton Inn), to how they deal with special requests, it was a joy staying with them. If you plan on staying there, two suggestions: 1) Request an eastern view room overlooking the golf course and 2) walk 10 minutes south and west to the San Clemente State Beach. Great sandstone cliffs, picinic areas, restrooms and a gorgeous beach. All 10 minutes from this hotel.
