    There wasn’t anything that I didn’t like.

    We absolutely loved the newly renovated room. It was really nice and clean. The little kitchen was nice too for making coffee or tea and getting ice. The location was walking distance to the wedding that we went to.

    Towels could have been a bit better, softer toilet paper, in room Kleenex, dimer on lights over bed would have nice. All these things not a deal breaker! We loved the room!

    Location, clean and comfortable newly renovated rooms. The Bed was especially comfortable!

    Just the street noise because it is on a main road. It quieted down and did not disrupt my sleep.

    I was greeted upon check-in and check-out by very kind hardworking owners, a woman and man. The place was clean, cute and comfortable. There is some street traffic noise to be expected, but that quieted down at night. I highly recommend Calafia Inn and would like to stay there again when I am visiting San Clemente.

    The hotel room was perfect for the weekend. The staff was super friendly and helpful when we checked in. Everything was very clean and well-kept. Everything about the hotel was perfect. It's very close to the beach and there was a bunch of restaurants around. It's very close to the freeway so we were able to visit the other neighboring cities.

    parking, there were several guests with big trucks that took up more than one spot. the parking spot right in front of the kitchen made it a pain to get into the kitchen for coffee. no disposable utensils to use for road trips. I understand plastic is bad for the environment, but there are plenty of compostable products on the market.

    easy on and off the highway for access to all the other areas we were going to. ability to walk to restaurants and quick serve markets. Was not impressed with Padro's Tacos but the Sweet Street Cafe was good.

    We could not adjust the A/C so we were cold all night. The room is very spartan lacking decorations. The shower is nice BUT you have to step into it to turn it on and will get wet with cold water.

    Bed was very comfortable. Location was perfect for our stay. Theres a small restaurant next door. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Plenty of outlets for our gear and phones.
