The property and the hotel was nice and clean. The only thing we didn’t like is everything has to be checked in through your mobile phone. and the code to get inside your room, you have to press really hard your code number otherwise you get locked out in

Yeah you can see a decent ocean view just over the freeway. Not big but still decent view. 7min drive to the pier bowl. Surfing donuts across the street is good and sanchos tacos down the road also good. Room has roku tv.

Room was clean, staff was friendly. No breakfast available however, kept getting different information on rather they served breakfast or not.

Housekeeping was a little inconsistent with what was completed each day but we always had fresh towels and that’s what mattered most to me. Hotel front desk was super helpful. Clean and comfy beds. Would stay again. San Clemente trolly was not operating this time of year so that was the only downfall as I had chosen this hotel for the convenience of not having to drive to the beach and pay for parking but parking rates weren’t awful after all.

Always loved staying at Surfbreak very welcoming staff and accommodating! Especially the property manager Julie who is very understanding and welcoming! Parking is good and free, the breakfast at SC cafe is chefs kiss and location of this place is good! It’s nearby me and my partners favourite places such as the beach which is at least less than 5 mins away and our favourite local burrito place. Will definitely come back. Keep it up surfbreak!

We had out of town guests and needed a one night stay for them and we pleased that they had a one night option. Check in was easy and the desk person was lovely and accommodating. Our guest said they really enjoyed the room and that the bed was very comfortable. Will definitely book again.

The staff was lovely and having an ocean view was nice. It is by the highway so if you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs as they don't have them. San Clemente is a cute little town and the beach/pier area is great.
