BEST beachside motel I’ve ever stayed in!
I discovered this property on Hotels.com. We were looking for a simple place to spend one night as we were going to a business dinner in San Juan Capistrano. We live in Arizona so we figured let’s find something at the beach! And lo and behold this hotel had availability. We love the fact it was so close to the beach - we could SEE and hear the waves crashing in the morning! my husband loved the breakfast and the coffee. There was even a Keurig in our room and we were in heaven. Great TV for catching the Heisman Trophy award ceremony right before we left for the event. It was a quick 10 minute drive up to San Juan Capistrano old town area. The room was so comfortable! Especially the bed. My husband was also in heaven for that one because it was so comfortable. Super clean you could tell it had some upgrades not too long ago and we appreciated that! The staff was on point too— SO NICE —just an overall great property. Thank you so much!

On the positive side, the staff was friendly and helpful. Beach was nearby. Train noise until almost midnight. My biggest issue was a problem with the shower. It wouldn’t put out hot water. Then I was told that the faucet handle had to be set at a very specific spot (which maintenance marked with a sharpie). I don’t understand why they don’t just fix the faucet. How many people will stay in that room and have the same problem?

Unfortunately it was a bad experience for us because of the room condition. Sink wasn’t draining. Beds are not comfortable other than that was okay

Nice one night stay across from the ocean!!
Great location across from the beach. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and watching the waves before we went to dinner and a concert. Very beachy vibe, great breakfast and friendly staff.

Large room, clean - a bit noisy
Room was large and clean. It was very noisy 2 out of the 3 nights we stayed. No blackout curtains. Maid kept taking all the towels that didn’t need to be changed and leaving us without towels and we had to then ask for towels to be replaced both days. Complimentary breakfast was good and parking also good.

the only complaint i have is the pictures basically show your sitting on the beach if you go out the patio.
this place is across a VERY busy street.
you do have a beautiful ocean view. and there is a balcony. but is no where near the sand.
was expecting to sleep with the door open and hear the waves.
that was NOT an option.
