I don't understand some of the reviews about the loud noise they hear from the bar until 3am. I barely heard anything. The train maybe a little but it never really bothered me. Staff was great, very helpful and knowledgeable. Stairs are safe, but a tad strenuous for some of us older folks.
Thats why i recomend (and did myself) getting a room on the 2nd floor. View is stunning. Rooms are tad small but clean. No bugs. You are near everything plus a free trolley. Restaurant below were very nice. So much to do, or just chill all day. Waves can be strong. At times I was hit by waves from both the front and the back! Felt very safe, even at night.
I recommend this place wholeheartedly.

The property has definitely seen better days. Outdated and some disrepair. The views are the saving grace.

The Casa Del Sol was very, very basic but nice. Cell phone service was not available in the room and the noise level was high and not soundproof. The addition of a microwave would've made my stay more convenient

Being by the ocean with an ocean view of the San Clemente Pier cannot be beat... the rooms are cutely decorated and so clean...Rosy at the front desk made us feel so welcomed and was attentive to our needs... we received a free upgrade on our room and we could not be any happier...we will be back for sure... this property is amazing.

No elevator. Steep stairs. In the middle of everything. Great spot. Garage parking for a fee one block away. Directly across the street from pier, beach. Mattresses ok. Rooms/building clean. No hot water on morning of check out. Otherwise good.

The pictures of the rooms that are represented in the
The site is not accurate. Other than a door and a small window in the front room, this was like a cave. The bedrooms had no windows. A shower was literally inside the bedroom—no doors, just a shower curtain separating from the bed. The towels were so thin that they barely dried you. The floors were so dirty that I had to wash my feet after my shower in order to put my shoes on.
I took pictures. The second bedroom had no air conditioner. So very disappointed very bad maintenance in this room

5th floor one problem, roof people put the funny foam and water just stays everywhere. Easy, wear no shoes so your socks get saved, other than that EVERYTHING was awesome!!!

Really nice view and overall room. Stairs situation is problematic and parking is an issue. Checking is messed up but once you get in your clean, nice room, it is great.
