The first room was clean and nicely arranged but my son had to move to another room and that room was very dirty with old food on the floor and mattress area.

It's a Small Surfer Villa-Style 7-Room Hotel with an end of the hall entrance to Rooftop Soul-Seafood Restaurant. Each room is surfer-style, customized & modernized with remote heating/fan/air conditioning. Apple, Netflix & Regular TV. The lady, Julie at the office was very nice & gives you her cell phone for any help you need. It's a little gem in downtown San Clemente and from my little garden patio, I could see the Pacific Ocean. The California Route 101 Room that I stayed at is right below the kitchen so I could hear the restaurant's kitchen dishwasher & bus boy dish roller above me, but they closed at 10:00PM. Also, 24-parking is free at the restaurant if you sleep in late like I do.

Perfect for party surfers
I stayed one night in the Boat room. It’s tiny…the toilet is on the shower, no joke. I appreciated the comfortable bed and the small fridge and microwave. However, if you expect to sleep early, this is not your place. The bar/restaurant is directly above this room and you can hear everything; footsteps, music, etc. Fortunately, it stopped at 10pm, but it was annoying to say the least. The parking situation is tough as well. I am glad I paid less than $100 for the night, otherwise it would not have been worth it.

Fun, brightly colored and spacious room (We stayed in the Bali Room). It was perfect for our family of 4. Conveniently located within walking distance to several restaurants.
The Nomad Cantina right above was also really fun, and had excellent food, great beer selection, and fun, vibrant atmosphere and decor, and the staff were friendly.
Surf friendly. We did not take advantage of the SURF CAMP, but with San Onofre State Beach and Trestles nearby, I bet it would be awesome.

Loud noise from the restaurant and bar above. Difficult to sleep. It sounded like chairs and tables being dragged across the floor. Hotel and room were hip looking

As a solo traveler I enjoyed the Nomad Cantina attached to the hotel. The food is excellent and people are friendly. I enjoyed unwinding and met some nice fellow travelers.
My room was clean and comfortable. I travel with good earplugs so being next to the street wasn’t a problem. Great AC. Loved the coffee! A quick drive or a long walk to the beach. Joseph manned the office. Great customer service. Text communication was excellent and up to date. Thank you for a great stay!

Love this location. Arrival was very well organized and easy. Off street parking was available right in front of the hotel and in the rear by the Nomads Canteen. We ate at the Canteen and the food was delicious! You can walk or take a short uber ride to most everything in town. Will definitely return.

Fantastic location, we had the Ohana room which was just enough space for the two of us. Will have to try the restaurant or surf camp another time but would recommend based on our experience.

The location is very nice. Close to all the shops and restaurants. Unfortunately, our bed sheets had stains on them and my girlfriend found lipstick on a drinking glass. Also, there was no safe and nowhere to put or hang our clothes.
