Cari Hotel dengan Balkoni di San Clemente

A Lil bit of Heaven indeed. An absolute gem of a hotel located in beautiful San Clemente with a very peaceful stay for 4 months making me want to even come here for a vacation in future when Colorado gets too hot or cold. The beach walks and bluff trails along the azure ocean coast and wide open ocean sky, were only a stone's throw away from the Holiday Inn Express San Clemente, were very pleasant and pleasing indeed, a real escape from the bustling world, with a shopping mall and excellent restaurants nearby make The Holiday Inn Express at San Clemente one of the best locations in the world I have stayed at. The staff, including Guzy, James, Jenny, Jack, Patrik, Kat, Frank, Rosa, Guadaloupe, Patty, and Rudy, are the most caring heart-felt people and are a true asset to the establishment, their friendly, hospitable and welcoming spirit made the stay here a joy. The location of the hotel is very, very convenient and close to the nuclear site I work at; the room was very comfortable and modern, with desks to work at in conjunction with excellent high-speed internet even when the hotel was fully booked, made this a productive office away for me. The bed was firm, and I really rested well and had the deepest refreshing many nights of slumbering sleep, with a revitalizing clean, modern shower and bathroom meticulously cleaned and prepared every day back to the hotels very high standard, the housekeeping staff Guadaloupe, Patty, and Juan are the best I have ever experienced in my many select extended hotel working stays around the civilized worlds hotels. I enjoyed waking to the sunrise, clear skies and the silhouetted palm trees, and the vibrant colours and fragrances of the bougainvillea were all like a gorgeous dream you do not want to wake up from. A charming and enjoyable working hotel indeed, I will always want to come back for more of this perfect experience and loving environment. The whole experience is like living in a cartoon of a very real high standard. A perfect hotel living experience. Thank you very much indeed.

The Inn is adequate. The bed is comfortable. Everything was clean and well maintained. The small kitchen was clean and convenient. The WiFi is excellent. Good choices for cable TV. The furniture is not particularly comfortable. The downside and the reason we will not go back (this was our second stay in 4 years) is the rude woman at the reception desk. The Inn has a policy of deactivating your room key at 10 am on the day of check out, which they do not inform you of. We had to go back to leave a tip, turn on the dishwasher, and get the last bag. The cleaner at the far end of the balcony was not authorized to let us back in. We went to the office and a young man activated the key, no questions asked. After a couple of minutes to wrap up our exit, we went back to turn in the keys. We told a woman at the reception that it seemed rather small to deactivate the key on the top of the hour, which we had never experienced before in 50 years of travelling. She waived a paper at us and said we had signed it and therefore knew that the check out was 10 am. We asked if there is a grace period. She said there was, although nobody told us. This was the only interaction we had with staff other than the initial check in. Our experience is that this kind of authoritarian rudeness means there are other problems at the site. So we will not be returning. If you go, and you need a couple of extra minutes at check out, simply don't close your door and save yourself getting the paper waived in your face. Restaurants nearby that we liked: Fig, MRK, Hot N Chili (Indian), and the Riviera which is in the resort and we ate there twice. Definitely make the trip to Laguna Beach and eat at the Lumberyard on the main street, Forest Avenue, after you've enjoyed the beautiful shops. Make a reservation to visit the Hortense Miller house and garden in Laguna Beach for a refreshing and unique experience.

Нормальный отель, в симпатичном уже любимом городке Сан Клименте. Рядом пляж, магазины и кафе. Мы бронировали из-за наличия гриля и перед заездом уточнили работает ли он. В итоге он не работал, спасибо персоналу, пытались замерить баллон с газом, но это не помогло, ничего пожарить нормально не удалось. Есть завтрак, но это кофе, фрукт, сок и булочка в пакете. Сами номера приличные, кое-где нужен ремонт

This hotel was supposed to have a really awesome breakfast bar with pancakes, cereal, sausage, etc. Since it was covid it was just a bag with a breakfast sandwich to put in the microwave, an apple, a granola bar and muffin. Pretty lame! Also the jacuzzi chemicals must have been off because it left my skin super irritated - dry and itchy which is a sign of improper chemical balance. Also the first night the jacuzzi was hot, the next day it was just a bit warmer than the pool. I asked the front desk and they said, ”if no one is using it they don't turn on the heat.” Well how are they supposed to know when and if someone will use it? It should be ready to go all the time! They said if you call ahead they will turn it on. Also they charged a fee of $1 per night per room for a ”safe fee” (we had 2 rooms X 3 nights). Super unnecessary and just fee padding if you ask me! When asked to remove it they told me that it was ”too late” and it was part of my booking via bookings dot com. One light fixture was broken in the room and my son's bedside lights were broken. Also the phone charger next to the bed was broken. For the price we paid, I expected everything to be in good condition. As far as decor, whoever thought that crown molding should be used to make a ”curtain valance” had zero decorating skills. They also could have done without the crown molding and ”pillar” type thing attached to the pony wall as that was pretty cheesy. Just stick to a basic crown molding around the ceiling. Also the shower was really weird in terms of adjusting the water temp and the shower head needs to be higher. I'm almost 6” tall and not everyone is a damn shorty! Also, on the last day, housekeeping did not make up the room which meant a pile up of dirty towels, no clean towels and the trash overflowing. The location is ok but about 1.5 to 2 miles on the freeway from ”town”.

First of all, when we arrived, there was no one at the front desk to check us in, so we waited approximately 10 minutes before I called the hotel’s phone number. A gentleman answered (it must have been a cell phone because you could tell he was in the car), he did not apologize for the inconvenience, all he said was “hold on. I’ll be there in a minute” which I felt was rude and unprofessional. But that wasn’t what upset me. We ended up waiting another 20 minutes, so THIRTY MINUTES total from the time we got to the hotel, to the time he arrived. Mind you, this was not an odd time—it was around 3:00 in the afternoon. When the gentleman finally arrived, he did not apologize, nor try to explain where he was or why he kept us waiting. Unacceptable. It gets worse. He finally checked us in, gave us the door code to our room, and explained how to get there, but when we got up to our room, it was not ready. The cleaning ladies told us it would be another 20-30 minutes, but we could leave our bags there if we wanted to go eat or something and come back. We did just that, but when we got back, our door was left wide open. Thankfully our bags were not stolen but I just don’t understand why they would leave the door open, knowing all our belongings were inside. Also, while we were walking down the hallway, one of the closets (where cleaning supplies are kept) was open and there were 805 beer bottles all over the shelves. Some empty, some half drank, but there were at least 6 of them visible to us as we walked by. The cherry on top of this whole experience was the dirty, disgusting room we stayed in. Looking back, I should have taken pictures but 4 of our bath towels had dirt and makeup on them. And our sheets had blood stains on them. There was trash under the bed, the floor in the bathroom was sticky, and the mini fridge had crumbs and spilled liquid on the shelves. I tried to voice my concerns upon checkout, but surprise, surprise, there was no one in the office/lobby to speak to. I hate to leave such a negative review, but I have never, in my life, stayed at a more disgusting hotel/experienced such poor customer service. Needless to say, we will not be returning to the Surfbreak Hotel in San Clemente.
