Housekeeping was a mystery. Somedays they came. Somedays they didn't. And even when I left a note on the soap dispenser letting them know the soap was out, it was never refilled. I didn't have time to go to the office and work it all out.

The location was perfect for this trip. My client was just up the hill at the closest intersection and we were less than 2 miles away so it was perfect. I also liked the renovations that had been done to our room. The vanity area was separate from the lavatory and shower area, which was perfect, and everything was new and modern and updated. There were plenty of hooks for towels, toiletries, and clothes (which was a nice touch that I don't see at all hotels--even fancy ones) and there were even two seating areas (besides the beds) in the room--an office chair and a bench. I also really liked having the microwave and minifridge in the room. This property suited our needs for this trip perfectly!

The wifi worked great. Our king bed was incredibly comfy. The shower was big enough for both of us to fit together.

Needed air for the 75 degree room. Fine. Found out one needed to plug in the AC, which was fine. But the TV volume, when maxed at level 20, was not loud enough to hear the TV over the loudness of the AC unit.

Clean, safe, comfortable.

the management was behind a window like when doing a bank transaction.

The bed was extremely comfy, I appreciated the proximity to restaurants and the beach.

The only thing people may not like is that you do hear some traffic noise at night, but we were able to sleep just fine.

Room was newly remodeled, clean, comfortable beds. Staff was very friendly as well!

INCIDENT AT 2AM DRUNKARD AT THE PARKING LOT SCREAMING AND CAUSING TROUBLE

Stayed in October 2022

It is due to the location right (San Clemente and proximity to the beach), but $150 per night, perhaps still a bit too pricey.

Clean and spacious room, nicely designed bathroom. Comfortable bed. Close to 7/11, gas station and restaurants. Walking distance from the Calafia Beach (about 20mins).

No iron or ironing board.

Location was lovely. Close to beaches and restaurants. Quiet area of San Clemente but walking distance to downtown. Shower was great. Clean and large room.

No outside dumpters for trash. And people were still smoking even its a no smoking site.

The view, close to the beach and stores. Good location...

Exterior didn’t do the interior justice

Location, super clean, courteous staff-no frills

As I like to include “heads up” things in my reviews, please note the following: The hotel can charge a $100 deposit at check in. El Camino Real is a major thoroughfare in San Clemente. That means a lot of traffic during the day and on into the evening. But it was pretty quiet from about 11pm to 6am. However, if you want to sleep early and have a street-facing room, it could be an issue. I didn’t have any trouble sleeping even when the traffic was going by.

Lovely hotel! I stayed two nights in mid-May. Because I was waiting for my son to come home from deployment, I wanted a hotel close to the Camp Pendleton San Mateo gate. And, because I wouldn’t know until he actually landed somewhere what time he’d be showing up, I didn’t want to wander far from my hotel. So I was in the room a lot. Check in was fast and easy, and the folks at the front desk were just as nice as could be. I had a king room, which included a sleeper sofa and a gorgeous walk in shower! The room was spotless. It included a small refrigerator with freezer, microwave, hair dryer, and a Keurig coffee maker! The bed was wonderful. FOUR big soft pillows, a fluffy comforter, and pillow-top mattress. The air conditioner was a bit loud, but it didn’t keep me from sleeping at all. I would definitely stay here again!

Construction. Noise. Read below..

A very charming place. Nice touches throughout. Well thought out remodel. Super comfy bed and a gorgeous shower! 😍 🚿 The owners were courteous. Not overly friendly but not rude. I checked in rather late and stayed 3 days. I had to leave a $100 deposit, but was able to do so in cash. Actually I was able to pay entirely in cash. The first night, plus deposit came to $210. A little pricey, to be honest. Started out a $99 a night rate and ... well, it is what it is. I DID receive my deposit back upon checkout. I've read the previous reviews and I do believe they have remedied the noise from the street issue.. at least I heard nothing. Having said all that... what I DID hear, was the insanely loud, starting early (7am) and ending late (8 pm) CONSTRUCTION every.... single.... day. I mean, it was SO loud, the water cup on my table was vibrating. Literally. I took a video of it. I'm NOT a complainer. Actually, I tend to let TOO much slide. But this noise level was downright absurd for a hotel to keep while still booking guests. I understand they have a bottomline to worry about. With covid and a remodel... I cant imagine their stress. But, they ARE in the hospitality industry. Subjecting guests to that intrusive level of noise ALL DAY, without one mention of it upon check in is simply NOT hospitable. They should be honest and upfront about the construction and noise and give the guest the opportunity to NOT check in. It's the right thing to do. I mean, some people come to this area to see the ocean for the first time. Take their kids to Disneyland for maybe the ONLY time. They save and work and save and work for months.. YEARS to take a family vacation. To be met with that?? No sleep. Crying kids. And a staff that not only wont so much as knock $10 off for the inconvenience. (Yes, I asked.) But didn't bother to mention it to begin with. I would be l i v i d. I have great respect for people taking on a business like that. I know it's all-consuming.

The hotel staff went above and beyond. We checked in VERY late and they were kind enough to stay up to wait for us until nearly midnight. Hotel Miramar was a great value and we had a good night sleep. The air conditioning, refrigerator, microwave, and in-room coffee maker were much appreciated. The parking on site was ample and safe.

a little noisy.... a better stay during a week day

Super nice rooms.... super clean and great staff.

Stayed in August 2021

The room had a bad musty smell. It was probably the carpet and/or the little fabric sofa, which looked like it could’ve used some vacuuming! It was a little too expensive for me, but it was the weekend so I get it. Plus it’s a beach town with good shops and restaurants.

We just needed a place for the night. It was close to where we needed to go. It’s right off a main street so it was quite busy and noisy. However, the room was quite large and clean. The bed was king size and comfortable; the pillows were too lumpy for me. We loved the bathroom as it looked newly done. Water pressure was great. The air conditioner worked very well.

Hotel was nothing fancy, but the room was clean and had what we needed. Not a bad price for being so close to the beach.

The walls and flooring killed this experience. Our room was a couple hundred feet from the road, sleeping past 8 am was not an option due to traffic and motorcycles even with white noise on. We stayed on the bottom floor, our upstairs neighbor decided to do parkour at 3 am which woke us up for an hour. They also decided to get up at 730 am on a Sunday and stomp around, although not as bad as a few hours before. It still sounded like the ceiling was going to cave in though, wish I was exaggerating. We could also hear every time one of our neighbors let their door slam as they were heavy fire doors. We left the room exhausted and it really hampered our Sunday experience in the area.

The hotel rooms were nice, recently renovated. Plenty of clean towels, nice shower, decent size TV, had in room safe, Keurig, mini fridge, microwave, decent beds and pillows, decent blackout curtains.
