Nomads Hotel

We’ve had a super fun stay at Nomads! Check in is super easy, and we LOVE the walkability to all the good stuff in San Clemente. We had a small issue with our room, but the owner was super generous and upgraded our stay to an even better room right away. Great customer service. As other reviews mention, it is loud upstairs until about 11pm every night, but they provide earplugs and sound machines, so we slept super well every night. The Canteen upstairs has great food and drinks, and a beautiful patio. Great atmosphere. Parking is a little difficult at times, so try to get there before 5pm and you should have no problems. After realizing how central our hotel was, we really regretted renting a car because we never ended up using it! Public transportation and the trolley got us everywhere we needed to go. Next time, we are going to try horseback riding, the surf camp, and some wineries. We will be back!

The location of the hotel is fantastic, right in the heart of San Clemente and walking distance to the beach. The Nomads Canteen is above the hotel and offers a nice beer menu, full bar and tasty, fresh food. The vibe in the bar is great and there is a large outdoor patio with a fire pit. The room we had was big, with 3 beds (2 queen, 1 double), a small kitchen area with a good size fridge and a microwave, and a large shower. They also offer a surf camp, which we might have taken advantage of if we’d had more time in the area. The canteen is quite loud until 11pm, with music and chairs scraping. There are ear plugs and a white noise machine in the room, which helped a lot. From midnight to morning it’s nice and quiet. There are 10 parking spots available that are shared with the canteen, so you need to get there before evening to beat the bar crowd. Overall, it’s a great location and nice, funky vibe hotel. The staff communicates well, even though it’s a self serve entry.

We only stayed one night while on our way through the area. The check in experience was very easy and the front desk agent was very nice. Plus you get two free drinks at the Nomad’s Canteen upstairs of the hotel. So we definitely used those tickets right after check in. It has a great beer and tequila selection and the food looked and smelled great. Our room was cool and unique and right downtown. Would definitely come back and would recommend others to stay here.

As a family of 5, it’s usually difficult to find hotel rooms that will accommodate our whole family. Nomads Hotel made our trip a little sweeter by having huge rooms with three beds in the room! Check-in was easy, the location was good, and the service was great. The Bali room is sweet! We would definitely stay here again. And if we have time, we might even sign up for their Surf Camp! Thank you Nomads Hotel for a great experience!

I had an amazing experience staying at Nomads in San Clemente! The rooms were super comfortable and had a cool beach vibe that made it easy to relax and feel right at home. The location is perfect—just a short walk to downtown where there’s tons of nightlife, great food, and a lively atmosphere. Whether you’re looking to chill by the beach or explore the local scene, Nomads is a great spot. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

We loved staying here! The location was perfect for going to the San Clemente car show. So many fun restaurants nearby. Nomads Canteen right above the restaurant is really good! We loved the Poke bowls and our server Sydney! We stayed in the California room.. and enjoyed the little patio.. we were able to park our cars right in front of the room. We enjoyed the bed, fridge, coffee and nice shower. When we had a little problem with getting in our door.. Sean got right back to us to help us. I would absolutely stay here again! Surf camp is awesome!

Wonderful hidden hotel. They were very thoughtful, and left ear plugs and a white noise machine by the bed. The coffee had plenty of pods and creamer. The staff checked in via text everyday to see if we needed anything. My girls wanted to stay longer to enjoy their surf camp!

This hotel room is cool. I like the Bali room cause the decor is fun (from our daughter). We enjoyed our time at Nomad’s, it’s laid back and a nice break from the corporate hotels that we’re all used to. Great touch to have a large fridge and Keurig machine in the room, Apple TV and a microwave. Bathroom is unique and spacious. We’d come back again.

We had a wonderful stay at Nomads Hotel! Check-in was incredibly easy and hassle-free, which we really appreciated after a long day of travel. The room was just the right size for our family, offering plenty of space for us and the kids to relax comfortably. The hotel's location is fantastic, with numerous restaurants and shops just a short walk away. Although the hotel's own restaurant was a bit noisy at times, it quieted down nicely after hours, ensuring we got a good night's sleep. The rooms were clean and perfectly sized, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay at Nomads Hotel again.

Nomads deserves to have 5stars because it has lots of stuff including a bar and more. I recommend this hotel very much. I think the color on the wall could change but other than that it is good. #SURFCAMP

Very surprisingly great entrance to this place quaint rooms are very cozy. Got an extra bed. Didn't think I was gonna get an extra bed which is perfect. Highly recommend this place decent price for the summertime vacationers definitely would recommend this place.BONUS!!!! restaurant on the top of the building

This place is a cool kind of surfer vibe with a rooftop cantina. The area is great and it is a beach town. The room I was in is called the boat. It is a small quirky room and it's cool if you are a cool cat. I say try it if you want to breakaway from the usual Marriott.

My husband booked us a night here for our 9th anniversary. We stayed in the Ohana room. It's a cute / funky vibe with a great location. However, it was SO SO loud that I could not sleep. Every 30 seconds someone from the bar upstairs would loudly walk, drop something or otherwise make very loud noises. Not very relaxing on top of a super uncomfortable bed and AC that could not seem to regulate temp of the room. So here I am contemplating driving an hour home on what was a desperately needed night away sans kid.

What a wonderful little surprise! This small hotel with just 7 rooms delivered on uniqueness, cleanliness, and very responsive staff. Location was fantastic with shopping & restaurants are all around. Just a 15 min walk to the San Clemente Pier. There is some shuffling you can hear from the upstairs cantina but it was tolerable. We will definitely be back!

Loved our stay here over the Memorial Day weekend this year. Given rising Covid cases, I especially loved the contactless check in. Parking is tough so come early. I found a good spot on the street in front of the hotel and then didn't have to move my car all weekend which worked great. Beds are comfy, the hotel is 10 min walking to the beach. Loved the free wine/beer coupons for the nomads canteen upstairs. I was scared it would be loud in the night with the rooftop restaurant but it didn't disturb us at all. Loved the colors in the lobby and rooms. I will definitely be back.

LOVE THIS HOTEL! It is so cute and colorful and cozy. The decor and design of the room was awesome. Everything was clean and nice! We couldn't have been happier. We stayed in the Sunset room. We will definitely stay there again next time we're in town. It also has the Nomads Cantina upstairs and that was a fun vibe with great music playing. Indoor and outdoor patio seating.

What a charming stay! I am so glad that we booked this hotel for our short, impromptu vacation to the coast! We didn't mind the lack of front desk attention, as we're low key and not extremely needy. We had a couple small requests that were immediately catered to via text message and help from the staff on-site. We could not believe how fair the rates were, considering the spaciousness of our room. The hotel is meticulously clean and well taken care of. The beach was a short 15 minute walk from our room, and there is also a free trolley that you can catch to explore San Clemente. However, almost everything we needed was within walking distance which was very convenient, considering the parking can be a little tricky. We loved the vibe of the upstairs bar. The service was very quick and attentive. My only constructive criticism is that we would have spent more time/money at the bar if they had vegan food options. We loved it, but would NOT recommend for extremely light sleepers/folks who get startled by noise. The top floor is a bar and a considerable amount of sounds travel downstairs when they are cleaning up after closing. There were ear plugs and a sound machine provided, though. 10/10, will definitely be back!

My wife and I stayed here for our little honeymoon getaway. It was a great place to stay, and the room was spacious and comfortable. Everything we did was walking distance and had a ton of things to do and see. The restraunt was upstairs and the food was great. The staff members were so nice and helpful. Nomads took very good care of us, thank you

Loved our stay here. Our room (Baja) was super rad. Comfy beds, awesome pillows and the softest sheets I've ever slept on. The contactless check in seemed super weird for me but it worked great. They have a rad sound machine in the room and we had it on forest sounds which made me feel like I was in Costa Rica. The restaurant is upstairs and there was some noise which didn't bother us and stopped around 10pm. I note that because other Yelp review's mentioned the noise from upstairs. It wasn't a problem. They do provide you with a sound machine and ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. We loved the decor in the room especially the throw pillows. They are walking distance to Pizza Port, Artifex, Lost Inferno and Momoku No Usagi which we ended up visiting without driving. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Great boutique hotel with restaurant-bar on top. Would you call this a hookup hotel? Yes. No doubt. Nice bar and restaurant on second floor with lots of locals. The restaurant is quite noisy but they shut down at set time which may be a bit late for some folks. Great memories here!

Nomads is an oasis within an oasis. This jewel of San Clemente is so well put together and well appointed you will feel like coastal royalty on a relaxed summer getaway. Exceptionally and meticulously cared-for, this 7 suite haven in the heart of SC's bustling Old Town/Downtown district is a quiet retreat for the urban and surf explorer. The Nomads Canteen serves up a friendly laid back atmosphere and stellar Ceviche and Veggie tacos with your choice of fresh beers and IPAs on plentiful taps and a tequila selection that would make your Uncle proud. The Mimosas with Guava, Mango and/or Pomegranate are a sweet treat on a lazy morning-after on the open air deck overlooking the city and ocean. We will return as often as their open bookings allow! ‍

Found this thanks so an app that searches for last-minute hotel deals and I am glad I picked this place. If you are staying in San Clemente this will put you in the center where everything is super close by. Bars, restaurants, and the beach are all a quick walk away. This hotel has a cool theme and my stay had me in the Bali Room. Super cool hostile/studio apartment layout. Three beds all of which were comfortable, nice tv with easy-to-use instructions, a small "kitchen area", and a cool upper-level bathroom and shower. Rooms were clean and well kept, the Bali room featured cool artwork of surf and statues that kept the theme of the room grooving. Check-in is contactless which took a little bit of getting used to. Now that I have done it once, it will be easy to return for a visit. The only downside is that there is a restaurant above which is noisy, but Nomad has you covered with brand new ear plugs. And they give you a voucher for two free drinks at the restaurant upstairs. So head on up and have a few drinks and enjoy the restaurants and bars around you. You may be out so late having fun that you will return to the room and the restaurant is closed. CHEERS!!

Thank you for a wonderful stay. The room is clean and well decorated. We also loved the patio. We will definitely be back.

The cutest coziest unique hotel! My husband and I went on a mini getaway to get out of the house and away from our grown kids/roommates ‍ This hotel was awesome. Check in was so easy and the location was great. So close to shops and restaurants. We walked everywhere. The staff is very helpful and personable. I loved how the hotel was connected to the restaurant upstairs for easy access. 2 drinks included in our stay- bonus! The hotel room was super funky and awesome decor. The bed was so comfortable. My husband has back issues and hotel beds usually kill his back, but this mattress was great and he had no issues in the morning. I happened to leave a shirt at the hotel and live 40 min away. I called the hotel to see if they could charge my card postage and mail it to me. This morning I opened my front door to find a bag with my shirt and a NOMADS hat on my porch! What the heck! Someone took the time to drive up to deliver my shirt and gave me a bonus hat to boot! I am floored. What a fantastic company/staff/hotel. We will definitely be coming back!!!

LOVE NOMADS HOTEL! Exceptional customer service, kind and friendly staff! EASY Check in - beautiful rooms - truly gorgeous - and massive! Gorgeous walk in stone shower had HOT water - PLENTY of towels, and the bedding was to die for! Seriously, so comfortable wow - loved it. Had smart TV and of course the Canteen upstairs. Upon arrival Mark, at reception gave me 2 free drink tickets for the Canteen as I waited only 10 mins for my room to be ready, I was early! Truly excellent I love this Hotel, all its staff and will be returning again most definitely :)

Yes the hotel is cute. BUT, the NOISE is unbearable from the Cantina above!!! It goes on well into the small hours as they clean up and scrape everything over the floor. The bowl of ear plugs and sound machine by the bed were the first warning signs of what we were in for, but not sufficient to stop the din!! We were on a surf trip so needed our sleep! So, sorry I canNOT recommend this place.

Booked a room there for a quick surf trip with my adult son. We have traveled across the planet and stayed in every possible type of hotel. This is a hostel not a hotel. Room with two beds was so small you could not be in room and have a duffel bag. Toilet in in the ​shower separated by half a curtain. We took a video and sent it to my daughter who just laughed as two adults stood in a closet with two beds jammed in. Needless to say we lost our money and rented a real hotel room down the street. Great place if you backpacking through California or if your a Smurf. Grown adults beware.

Oddly I'll start with the sheets smelling really good, sleep was amazing, and pillows were super soft and comfy. The room had a fridge and baby kitchenette. The shower worked really well, and the soap and shampoo were really silky smooth. I would stay there again! The self-check in was a cool addition for those of us who show up later at night haha!

Great place to stay and chill. Everything is so easy from here as well Ana I love the free trolley down to the beach every ten min or so. If you do have an issue, Sean has been great seeing it gets fixed. Sean truly cares about his hotel. Love the California room!

Loudest effen room. Literally undesa kitchen restaraunt and u can hear then washing dishes n yellin ordera well into 11pm. Most uncomfortable beds ive ever been in . Got zero sleep . The matress wasnt the correct one for the bedframe all.my pillows dissapeared into an abyss behind the head noard. Showers broke . Lets see ahh yeabifnu plan kn watchin tv to drown out the br/restaraunt tap dNcin on yer roof you cant. Because unless u habe an apple tv account you cant even watch basic shows. Wich i was not warned about prior. Save yer mk ey and go to beat western because this place is not worth the hype. F*ck the nomad hotel in san clemente. Ahĥ yess good luck finding parkin bcus everythin around it is a no parkin for more than 2 hours zone. And the nkmad restaraunt will not let u park there. Same name same people same building but somehow arent associated . Negrtive 6 out of 10. Do better

This hotel is cute, kitschy, and clean. It is, however, *incredibly noisy*as it's downstairs from a restaurant/bar, where they seem to be moving heavy furniture overhead *all day long and until @ 11 p.m.* So to work or sleep, earplugs/noise canceling headphone *are essential.* There is a "white noise" machine in the room, but be sure to bring good earplugs! The touch-less check-in and check-out were no big deal (I thought) and the location is nice. So why did I give just a single star? They charged me for an extra night -- beyond my reservation/stay. They texted me 24 hours *after I'd checked out -- per the reservation -- to remind me to check out*, and when I brought this error to their attention and then sent them the email confirmation of my reservation and what I was supposed to be charged, and asked them to correct the error, they ghosted me! Perhaps communication is a problem when it's all touch-less/via text and email? On the other hand, after I sent them all the correct information, the only proper response would have been an *immediate refund for the erroneous extra-day's charge and an apology. Instead, I got no response and had to dispute the charge with my credit card company. It's not like we had a verbal agreement, it was all in an email from Expedia... Left me with a bad taste, not to mention the time wasted sending emails, working with my credit card company, etc.

Perfect spot for a getaway! When I first walked through the entrance to the Nomads hotel I immediately noticed how clean everything looked and smelled. I followed the email instructions for self-checkin and in a few simple steps I was in a beautiful well appointed clean room. I loved the thoughtful touches (prepped Keurig, postcards, free drink coupons) and the decor was amazing. The beds were comfortable and the sheets were very soft. The room is below the restaurant/bar and so we could hear the noise from upstairs but the owners are aware and thoughtfully provided ear plugs and a sound machine. Nomads is centrally located around tons of restaurants and shops and within walking distance to the pier/beach. The only disappointment I had was that my girlfriend and I were only staying for one night because we both loved the no hassle vibe. I am looking forward to returning at a later date so that I can stay longer and maybe even try some surf lessons.

What a charming hotel! It's absolutely adorable with so much character. I love the California surf theme. It's extremely clean with great complimentary bath products, a filtered water machine in the hall and our own coffee maker. We had our own private balcony and the bed and bedding is extremely comfortable and soft. The lovely front desk associate Ashley was extremely friendly and was kind to offer us complimentary drinks at the cantina above the hotel. There is noise from the cantina until late at night. We were watching movies so we didn't hear it too much and we were out until late, but it's definitely on the noisy side! It's surrounded by beautiful shops and restaurants and very close to the beach! They also offer a surf camp with surf lessons which I will definitely bring my kids to enjoy next time! This is truly a gem hotel that I highly recommend!

Cute little hotel underneath a canteena. Makes you feel like you're on another country. The setup of our room "Mahalo Room" was pretty neat looking. The bedroom area is separated by stairs to go up to the shower and a separate little stairway to go up to the bathroom and vanity area. If you're into eccentric cool vibed hotel, you're at the right place. The location is phenomenal. It's right in the middle of everything. Bars, restaurants and shops are all on walking distance. Don't want to forget to give a shout out to the staff. Very friendly staff and they (Ethan) helped us make our little getaway very special. We will definitely come back when in town.

This hotel was awesome! The rooms are super cool and cozy. The bar and restaurant upstairs is awesome and has amazing food. The woman who helped us with our rooms was super accommodating for our stay. Come stay here!

It took me a few hours to find the right place for my husband and I to stay in. Finally we found this hidden gem. Not only the prices were so reasonable the STAFF & SERVICE was exceptional! Ethan especially, he helped us and was super nice and made sure we were taken care of right before the booking until he left for the day. The hotel was super cool.. has its unique and cool style! I am so pleased and recommend it to anyone. Close to many bars and restaurants. Thanks again everyone there and can't wait to come back.

This is a really great hotel. I love the decor of the rooms. Very clean. Steps up to the bathroom very different. Comfortable beds. Nice Keurig coffee with Half and half for coffee with raw sugar. Soap dispenser hard to use, but nice walk in shower. A/C worked great. Sunset room very nice. History of Surfing book on shelf. Ear plugs and relaxing sleep machine of ocean sounds next to bed. No phone in room. Room was under the Canteen, but we didn't mind. Not that loud. Very friendly staff. Next time, we plan to stay and take surf lessons. Parking was a little stressful for us. We did not know there was a trolley. Beach less than a mile. We walked around town. Beach Books right across alley. Pizza Port across the street good for kids. Arcade there too. 5 stars if parking wasn't so stressful. No pool, but nice rooms.

Nomads Hotel is a fabulous find! The location is unbeatable to all of the charming town of San Clemente. The rooms are spacious the beds are so comfortable and the team is very responsive and so friendly. I will definitely be back.

This is our second stay at Nomads! Easy self check in and the best location close and easy walking distance to downtown area with lots of shops and restaurants. Rooms are clean and have nice amenities too. Will definitely be coming back again.

Great, cool and central place to stay we had a great time Very clean and will book again to take advantage of the surf camp for our kids!

Absolutely fantastic and totally awesome!! I love this hotel and love the staff, owners, and managment. Here is why I love this place. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful it literally looks like a Beautiful art gallery. The rooms are so beautiful I was like wow. It didn't even feel like a hotel. The rooms each have different painted colorful walls with beautiful art work, and with different beautiful colorful walls. Each room does not look the same. They all have a different theme. And the furniture and bathrooms are beautiful. And the floors and everything is beautiful. This makes you feel at home and like a room in a home. I remember staying here in 2020. This was my first time in the San Clemente area. I had so much fun when I was staying here and I also want to mention the owners, and the management who I took the time to speak with and meet are absolutely amazing they are so genuine, awesome, really nice, respectable, and extremely professional people. And super laid back and great to work with. I remember I did not want to leave this hotel how much fun I had Haha. And the prices are actually very reasonable. What I also love about this hotel is they have a really awesome bar, and restaurant upstairs so basically you can walk upstairs from your room and have drinks and food they were all great. The drinks from the bar were some of the best drinks I've had. They are actually known For their drinks it was so cool. I really loved staying here and I actually wish I came back more often haha. I just wanted to show the love and respect to the management and the owners with this review if you have not had an experience with this hotel I highly recommend it. And you definitely should, because this isn't like any other hotels that you're used to staying in I've stayed in different hotels all over different states and even in different countries when I traveled over the years and but I have to say this was one of the most unique ones that I stayed in it just was different and really interesting then other hotels that I've stayed in in the past. I also want to say what I love also is this hotel is next to so many restaurants, bars, cafés that is walking distance. Its just a great experience and it's not a far drive from the beach and there's also parking for the hotel. Thank you so much for the absolutely amazing experience that I had here. When I stayed here at the time I had something really stressful that happened to me and I truly am thankful for this hotel because they absolutely made my life at the time when I was dealing with something very difficult. Anyways showing my love to you all as always and my upmost respect to you all with this review. And when I come back again I will make sure to come back again.

Where do I start with this place? It is not a hotel number one. It is a one star motel when you walk through the door and down the long hallway to the desk after they finally let you in I noticed a smell, the musty smell like the smell. I smelled when my roof leaked at my house so we checked in got into our room with a patio in the front along the street. I noticed a jar with earplugs, and a sound machine was going to flame the sounds of waves, that should've been my first warning we checked and the room looked cool. The patio was on the street and every dog that walked by Peed on it so we figured I will just give it a try. We went to the restaurant upstairs. We had the pink tacos they were really good, it is nowhere near the pier it's like a mile or so away we walk down to the beach came back to the room. It was so noisy we could not get any rest until around 11 o'clock at night. It seemed like the restaurant employees were stomping as hard as they could on the ceiling, like they were angry it was terrible absolutely terrible. Finally got to sleep around midnight in the morning we got up there was no hot water. None could not get a hold of the staff because nobody works there. It was a nightmare. This place is terrible. Don't stay there. The price is outrageous for what you get. I don't know how any of these people left five star reviews because they are lies, if you want to stay at a nice place in San Clemente try the Tropicana it's right on the beach and it is about the same price there's no parking at this place the parking is at the restaurant and it is always full so plan ahead for a walk to unload your stuff this place is absolutely ridiculous. Nevertheless, we requested a full refund and we received it. It took a couple days but I had already been in contact with my bank to stop payment for no hot water. What's the last straw? This place? Absolutely sucks.

Beautiful location! Aesthetic room, sound machine ! Peaceful beach vibes. Love the self check in. Complimetary drinks. Amazing stay.

Per the previous review, it is true that the restaurant noise from above can be problematic if you plan to turn in early. The floors are hardwood and it seems there is little that can be done about it outside of the earplugs... OR...you can just go upstairs and spend some time getting to know the friendly locals who frequent the bar/restaurant. It's a very pleasant little place. The check-in is quirky too. The front door requires a code to enter and there's no receptionist. I booked online and didn't read the email confirmation which instructs you to visit the restaurant (which is down an alleyway on the other side of the structure) for check-in, entry codes, etc. My bad, but as it's so different from other hotel experiences, it's not intuitively apparent. The real value of Nomads is the rooms. We stayed in the Bali and it was immediately apparent that they went to great lengths to create an exceptional ambiance. Charm to the extreme. It pained us to leave in the morning, wishing we could extend for a few more days. The place seems obviously founded by locals with a love for surf and the California lifestyle. It's classy and tastefully decorated in this expression. If you're here from out of state, you'll love the charm of it. In the balance, it's a great find and a nice value. Just wait until midnight to sleep or wear the earplugs.

Amazing hotel! Affordable, clean, easy checkin, great food and perfect location! Highly recommended

Wanted to take off with the kids for the weekend and booked this hotel last minute....omg so much fun sleeping on bunk beds and coffee and amenities are right around the corner as well as the beach! Not to mention only 7 minutes from the San Clemente Outlets, will definitely be back and would love to check out the Bali room

Amazing get away hotel! I stayed here for 2 nights. I loved it. I felt like I was in another country. The room decor is beautiful and unique. Very clean hotel. A lot of space too. I loved the cantina. Amazing food. If you're ever in San Clemente I do recommend this place!

If you just need a cute, clean and quick place to crash... This is an OK spot. Don't expect to get a lot of sleep because the walls are paper thin and there tends to be a lot of partiers staying there. My family and I could hear the couple next-door having sex so clearly that I could tell this guy was doing a stellar job and i could tell when he was done... at 11:30p, then at 2am, and again 4:30am.

We visited Nomads Hotel on a friends trip a few months ago. Got to stay for a couple of days and had a great time in an amazing gem. We ended up with two rooms for the amount of guys that came on the trip. We used the bigger room as our main hang out spot. It was equipped with a beautiful bathroom, convenient sink and mini fridge. It was the perfect spot to hang out and enjoy our time, when we were hanging out in the room. Our other room was the bunk room with, what felt like, a million bunks. They were roomy and perfect with a vaulted ceiling and sliding glass door to the outside. This room essentially became the sleeping room and we enjoyed having a mellow spot to hang out. Rooms and showers were clean and wonderful. The staff was perfect. They were friendly at each request we had and were able to facilitate to the best of their abilities. The cleaning lady was exceptionally nice and greeted us each and every morning with a smile. The Nomads hotel is conveniently located walking distance to most places in San Clemente. We were able to walk over to Pizza Port or grab breakfast on the corner without it taking longer than 5 minutes. The Nomad was also amazing with its food and bar upstairs, which gave a nice selection of healthy alternatives when we needed it. HIGHLY recommend this hotel if you are staying tin the area.

Stayed here for one night (in the boat room) and loved it! Such a cute room and the hotel is in walking distance to everything. Will definitely stay here again on my next trip to San Clemente.

To me this is perfect. The room is built to the quality you'd expect from something extravagant. Everything from vintage themed artwork and sculptures, to reclaimed wood bars and counter space. Miniature kitchen, and friendly laid back staff. I personally enjoy that it has the feel of an AirBnB with the door and check in system. I was greeted by a friendly staff member who explained the system of key coded doors which I prefer to room keys personally. One thing to know before booking, is that the restaurant and bar upstairs bleeds in footsteps. Not a big deal unless you're going to sleep early. Footsteps are similar to someone above you having some friends over their apartment. That's all I hear but only when the fans and TV is off. Everything is silent after midnight here, and if you're shutting down you can use the earplugs they provided which I found to be problem solving. Upside is that it is a good place to grab a beer, cocktail, and the selection is massive, the food is good, and the owner is friendly. He put a lot into these rooms here and it speaks for itself. Great location would come again.

This place was awful. I asked for a refund after my partner and I were disrespectfully walked in on. The manager told us it was not her fault she walked in as we should've waited until the room was ready but one of the employees told us the room was ready and we could go head & head in. After we were walked in on we left since we felt uncomfortable and disrespected.

Super fun hotel, great management. Keep in mind they have a bar upstairs so during the time the bar is open it's noisy, that said the bar closes around 11pm so it's not noisy all night! Each room is decorated awesomely. The maid is amazing and cleans your room every day. Colorful, hip rooms!

Nicest people to work with, great location and fantastic rooms. It has a surfer hotel/hostel vibe, which is fine, but not what I was looking for in a get away. Husband and I booked for a few nights as a treat. The extremely loud a/c fan was awful. Using my own ear plugs and asking about it didn't help. Apparently this was mentioned in a review prior, but I didn't read ahead of time. Husband stayed the extra night and I went home so disappointed. Very clean though.

I booked this then read reviews about noise...arrived at 630...was noisy while getting ready to go to dinner...by 11 no more noise...check in was effortless...room was exceptionally clean...very cool atmosphere...very friendly staff...will come again

Great spot with a super friendly and helpful staff. Room was perfect - clean and spacious, can't wait to book our next stay!

Room that we stayed in was small. The door didn't open. We basically have to push it to open every time. you also have to close the door behind you because it doesn't lock on its own. The toilet is inside the shower and the sink. One of the beds that we have squeaks a lot when you move. The restaurant is upstairs so you basically hear people walking, music and every morning utensils falling on the grown. The microwave doesn't work very well either. Not sure if it was worth $100 bucks
