San Clemente Inn Reviews & Ratings

Love this resort, very family oriented, we can take our own food and BBQ in the patio area, play games, have fun in the pool and if we want a break we can go out and eat at the Riviera or at the local restaurants nearby. Its a lovely city and beach to visit. Walking distance to the beach and that's the best thing to do so you don't have to pay for additional parking, the hut there has drinks and ice cream for the kiddos.

Beautiful Location. A must visit!

We visited as an RCI trade and later bought on Ebay because the maintenance fee and location are great, even if it isn't deluxe. The property is well maintained, and the surfing nearby is fantastic. It's one of the original timeshares of California and is always full in the summer when the weather is nearly perfect.

Beautiful and close to everything but yet only a nine minute walk to the beach. You were basically right there. Great restaurants everywhere and great locations to San Diego and going north and everything in between. Enjoy I own this Timeshare and I’ve never been disappointed.

Great for beach walks (10 min walk to ocean) and for golf ( 5 min drive) . Also close to Trestles beach, a popular surfing area. In addition, location is only 10 minute drive to Ave Del Mar , main street for the local restaurants.

Please Note: Sleep comfort is dependent on ones requirements. So, rating is between 4 & 5.

The beach is great, the Pool & Jacuzzi are awesome and definitely a place to enjoy the sun and fun activities. July is the best weather too! When not enjoying the "SC Inn Facilities," downtown San Clemente is such an exciting place filled with great restaurants, unique shops and Boutiques. A Great Location to Stay & Enjoy.

An interesting resort, but it doesn’t have elevators to many of the sections of the resort. They will help you with your luggage, but getting in and out required lots of stairs. Very few rooms are accessible without stairs, and those don’t have much of a view.

This is now a Grand Pacific property. There are activities like margarita night, wine and cheese social and more. They have live music by the pool some days. The resort is a short walk to the beach, and a short drive to Dana Point Harbor. There's a beautiful courtyard with a pool, two spas, a kids play area, shuffleboard, miniature golf and more. They have a tennis court, a play court for pickleball and/or volleyball. It borders a state park where you can take walks. Activities are plentiful and inexpensive. Complimentary video rental at the front desk, internet service and a game/recreation area make this a fun family resort. Some rooms have ocean views, and there are others that have no view at all. It's wise to get there early the day of check-in to get a decent room. It’s like a lottery… they’ll call names at 1:00. If you’re present, you can check in early and choose your room. All the rooms are good quality, but some have better views or better proximity to amenities. There's a restaurant on the premisis, and they've refurbished the units with new furniture and nice decor. It's an incredibly fun and comfortable place to be! Great for families!

Great location, friendly staff, fun game room, nice pool and Jacuzzi's. Loved shopping at all the thrift store on El Camino Real, shopping at the Outlets in San Clemente, walking on the Pier, and eating at all the local restaurants. Felt very safe and appreciated the cleanliness of this city.

Beautiful location walking distance to the beach. The excitement and warmth 4th of July week is amazing. City in full spirit pride with games and the famous pier fireworks. The property is complete with barbecues, gameroom, tennis court, etc....perfect for families. the remodel colors and theme represents the southern california feel. Great family environment and well appointed unit.

I've always enjoyed my stays at San Clemente Inn, plus its "exchange" power (in a lovely part of Southern California) in the years I exchanged it to use a timeshare property elsewhere, which I have done in California, Nevada (Lake Tahoe), Texas, the Atlantic Shore (NJ, MD, and VA), Florida, Europe, etc.

The Pacific coast beach, a short walk from the resort, is very nice, with great body-surfing and board-surfing waves. Great destinations to visit south (e.g., Solana Beach, San Diego) and north (e.g., Dana Point, Laguna Beach, DisneyLand, Los Angeles).

The resort has great "extras", including pickelball & tennis courts, shuffleboard, mini-golf, BBQ grills, indoor game room, etc., etc.

These are all OLD reviews. Room configurations are odd and cramped . Pull down Muphy beds and/or sofa sleep and you trip over everthing. The bathrooms resemble an old trailer with gross shower enclosure and shower head at about 5 feet with minimal pressure. Very unpleasant after a day at the beach. Look for more recent reviews on other sites because the rating is inaccurate :{

I live close by and use the facilities and tennis court for day use. The place is well kept and clean. The front desk staff is friendly. In December the Inn is decorated for the holidays and looks beautiful. Adele's (Restaurant) Breakfast is delicious and more than I can eat. It looks to me, like the place has been painted and the public restrooms are updated and clean. Though, if staying there..........I'd be out checking out the town, on the beach- down the street, or on their great tennis court. The Inn is walking distance from a State Park Beach. Also,the location is half way between San Diego and Los Angeles and 45 min from Disneyland ! And, the San Clemente weather is usually perfect ! Guys~ there is a golf course close by ~ Our family uses the Timeshare. My brother is here now (August) and the three kids are having a blast !

Great location, nice friendly staff, plenty of activities for kids, nice play area, pools and jacuzzis, adjacent to state beach, can walk to beach, great surf, bike trails everywhere, restaurant is excellent (on site). Big rooms compared to other beach timeshares. Parking is plentiful, tennis court. Purchased here and love it.

good location. easy to get to San Diego, Hollywood, Seaworld, ect. Walking distance to the beach, and close to Dana point. Laguna beach within 30 minutes or so. the staff was very nice and eager to help. My wife and I recently purchased a time share with intent to use or trade.

Stayed 7/23 - 7/29/2006 - 1BR sleeps 6

Beautiful, relaxing, clean resort - lots to do nearby - 10 minute stroll to the beach, not crowded in the morning. Perfect weather.

Better location and on-site facilities than most of the other resorts this close to the beach.

A.C. doesn't get to the B.R. very well - bring a fan next time, also no oven for pizza, baking.

I would definately stay here again! Loved it!

Stayed in a one bedroom unit that slept 6. It had 1 & 1/2 bathrooms. We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was one of the nicest and expansive I've seen. Location was great too.

We have owned here since 1981 (we are owner 33). This has been our home resort for all those years. Since then, we acquired 7 more timeshares. The rooms are small with only one bedroom. There are limited studios as well. This is a converted motel. However, it is centrally located and a short walk down to the beach. We have traded all over the country using this resort. Majority of trades are Gold Crown two bedrooms

I own here, and have always gotten awesome exchanges. In fact, I got a 2bedroom 2 bath at the Embassy in Kauai for my week at San Clemente Inn.

The maintenance on it is reasonable too [I bought a resale on eBay].
