The Surfbreak Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at this property! We were in town for the Trestles Pro this year. The hotel is very conveniently located to downtown San Clemente and Trestles. We brought our dog with us. We appreciate that they put us on the 1st floor, so that we could take her out with ease. There were lots of extras to use at the beach or take bike rides. The room was very spacious. There was plenty of parking (at least at this time of year) The water pressure was great in the shower. Every staff member we encountered was very nice. The service was excellent! Honestly, we ONLY have two notes: 1) The queen beds are quite soft. (want to mention, in case that is an issue for someone's back) 2) Having more than one small trash can in the bathroom would be more convenient. But if we find ourselves in SC again, we will DEF be back! Thank you to the staff"

"Hotel was nice , tidy and clean. The only thing I would suggest is to fix the faucet of the sink on how the water flows out. Other than that it was a pleasure staying there."

Patriots Boutique Motel

Patriots Boutique Motel

10/10 Excellent
"It did it's job. It was a simple one floor level hotel we stayed one night in. We wanted a place to sleep and be near food. It also was an easy drive the next day to coffee and the pier after checkout. Staff was very friendly and room was cute and homey. We would stay here again. Price was a little higher than we would expect for this type of hotel, BUT given it's location I can understand the price point."
