Top Downtown San Clemente Hotel Reviews

Ayres Hotel Laguna Woods - Aliso Viejo

4/10 Poor

"This place wasn't bad for the day but at night it was extremely loud. We could hear every step on the floor above us as well as a ton of street traffic noise. The worst part was that we were right next to the ice room and that machine made a ton of noise all night. If you need to stay here try to get a room on the back side (not street side) of the hotel and definitely get as far away from the ice machine room as possible."

Pacific Edge Hotel

4/10 Poor

"There is not a ton of privacy in your room. I could hear everything from the room next door and I’m sure they could hear us. Also, the connecting door to the other room was left unlocked and someone walked into my room from the connecting room which was startling. The beds are not comfortable at all, and to top it off we found a small roach crawling up the glass shower on our first night. Oh, and there is no parking here unless you pay $45 a night for valet. The worst hotel I have stayed in at Laguna. I did like the ocean view and staying right on the beach, but you can find that almost anywhere in Laguna. Also, the staff was friendly and helpful overall, but I would definitely not book here again. Not the experience I was hoping for at all."

Beachfront Inn and Suites at Dana Point

4/10 Poor

"This hotel was in a decent location, but unfortunately, there’s no access to the beach directly across the street. You have to go over this ridiculously huge bridge in order to get to the beach, which is a very rocky beach so we just drove to Laguna each day. One thing I was very disappointed in was the fact I specifically decided to book this place so I can relax in the hot tub and look at the ocean. The view from the hot tub is good. However, the hot tub did not have any jets flowing whatsoever. So it was pretty much like taking a bath. For the first two days, the hot tub was ideal temperature but towards the end it got lukewarm. For the property managers this is something where a little can go a long way.! just fix the Jets to appease your customers. It’s really not a hard thing to do. And I would imagine it would boost your reviews a ton if the hot tub actually had jets. We also had trouble sleeping some nights because we stayed on the second floor and the floor above us, you could hear everything. Anytime someone moved any furniture or walked fastly you could hear it."
