    The views are the best you will find. You can lay in bed and hear the tide and see the ocean. The rooms are extremely clean and the property is well maintained and safe. The neighborhood surrounding is comfortable and safe and we walked the neighborhood and beach every day. The location is a short drive to several cities for shopping and dining. If you want to stay close to the hotel, the Fisherman's pier and restaurant are within steps. Great location!

    We received an upgraded room which was nice, but it didn't appear to be any different to any of the standard IHG's I have stayed in. Microwave, fridge and ironing facilities were good. San Clemente beach and pier were pretty and the waves were great for surfers. Pretty sitting area out the front, but overlooked the car park and was close to the Freeway.

    The location (I walked to the beach), the big room and comfortable bed. The atmosphere. I recommend drinks and food at Nomads Canteen just at the back of the hotel. Great place to sit outside to have a beer and plan the details of your stay. Next time I visit I'll take up the surf lessons. I just hadn't had enough time this time around.

    The location of the hotel was nice. You could walk to the beach and see the ocean from the third floor. I like that the building wasn’t enclosed from the center so balcony was inside the building but was outside still.

    Hotel is close to the beach and beach views. My room was clean and spacious. It was a queen room with a balcony and even though the balcony faced the property and side street it was not at all disappointing. It was a wonderful place to sit and take in the salt air. My front door faced another side street and because my room was at the very end no one walked past my room allowing my to leave my door open and collect a lovely cross breeze.

    Waited 15 Min to check in while single staff person chatted with person who had already checked in and took phone calls. Location is semi-industrial without beach access - you can see the beach from the walking trail but can't get there. Better pedestrian option a mile north or south.
