Beware of Parking Fee
After living and working in the San Clemente area since 1991, we left the area in 2018 but routinely travel back to visit family and friends. The San Clemente Inn was always my first choice.
Pros: For two people or a small family, the one room suite is a perfect place to call home base. The kitchenette is well appointed with everything needed to make simple meals including a 2 burner cook top, full size microwave, dishwasher, sink, apartment sized fridge and freezer as well as utensils needed for cooking/eating. The bathroom can be accessed from the bedroom or from the hallway so anyone can use the restroom without having to enter the bedroom in th2 middle of the night. There's a small table, couch, chair, two pull down (murphy) twin beds, plenty of storage and a TV in the living area and another in the bedroom. Rooms have large balconies. Some even have an ocean view (but not all).
Cons: This resort is older and there are no elevators. The freeway noise can be a nuisance if you end up in a room closer to the freeway. Ground floors have zero privacy if people are using the grounds so close those drapes if you're changing clothes. Ridiculous parking fee of $25 per day (fairly new as Ive never paid to park here in the past). Considering most stay at least two nights, it adds up. Its a greedy money grab and will be the reason I stay elsewhere when returning to the area in the future. Such a bummer because I've recommended this place to others for decades. Not anymore. Lame.
