Americas Best Value Inn-San Clemente Beach

Clean and spacious and not far from the beach. Not much parking though.

The Manager at America's Best Value Inn San Clemente Beach, Mark, was prompt, personable, and professional. He made my 7-night stay comfortable because when he engaged me at check-in, he was friendly but businesslike. The location is one block from Highway 5, between downtown San Clemente and the surfing beaches. My room was clean and pleasantly decorated. One of four bulbs over the sink was dead; this was not an urgent need but Mark had it replaced within a few hours. Also he helped me find local amenities and was even kind enough to print a page that I was able to email him (I had no travel printer). The housekeeping staff were pleasant and thorough. Also the flowers, bushes and trees around the property were well-cared for. I'd confidently recommend ABVI San Clemente to my friends and family. Please commend Mark for exceeding expectations. -Doug Pratt

We drove around looking for Americas Best Value and found Budget Lodge. Budget being the perfect word in this case. First, no coffee maker. Second, no ability to take a bath in a tub as they required to be utilized as a shower only. Third, a little run down like the windows seem open with a draft but they were closed. Fourth, the single bar of body soap, dried my skin out so bad. Now if this room hasn't been rented out for a long time I understand but where is the coffee maker, a bottle of shampoo and condition traditionally found in a hotel room?

We have been going to this hotel for over 10 summers now. Altho prices are up in summer all other hotels in area have gone up too. MARK was our check-in host and he is absolutely the BEST. I had to change rooms at last min and He was very accomitable. This hotel is clean, comfortable and quiet, especially 3rd floor away from street. We have stayed at many hotels in SC and we always choose Americas Best.

The mattress was kind of lumpy and the room had a funny smell to it when you walk in

Decent, clean place to stay near the beach. The building and courtyard are basic but charming. Staff was nice.

Great area, walked to some great places to eat. The bed was a little on the hard side and the pillows were a little thin.

I like the location. Internet connection through their Wi-Fi is practically non-existent: do not count on any possibility of connection to the Internet.

Was close to the beach which was a plus however only 1 light worked in the room, the fridge didn't work and there was a bad smell in it. Also there were no wash clothes. Price if room was too high not to have at least these amenities. No complimentary breakfast but does have vending machine. Staff was at least pleasant. FYI, they dont accept cash.
