Great stay
Great stay. Not a luxury hotel , but I wasn’t there for luxury. Room was VERY spacious with a vaulted ceiling, nice updated hvac system and very good lighting. The bed was comfortable enough. I liked that it had hard floor instead of carpeting! Breakfast was quite good. The seating area was very small, but they had tables outside too . The staff were extremely friendly and helpful .

BEST beachside motel I’ve ever stayed in!
I discovered this property on Hotels.com. We were looking for a simple place to spend one night as we were going to a business dinner in San Juan Capistrano. We live in Arizona so we figured let’s find something at the beach! And lo and behold this hotel had availability. We love the fact it was so close to the beach - we could SEE and hear the waves crashing in the morning! my husband loved the breakfast and the coffee. There was even a Keurig in our room and we were in heaven. Great TV for catching the Heisman Trophy award ceremony right before we left for the event. It was a quick 10 minute drive up to San Juan Capistrano old town area. The room was so comfortable! Especially the bed. My husband was also in heaven for that one because it was so comfortable. Super clean you could tell it had some upgrades not too long ago and we appreciated that! The staff was on point too— SO NICE —just an overall great property. Thank you so much!

On the positive side, the staff was friendly and helpful. Beach was nearby. Train noise until almost midnight. My biggest issue was a problem with the shower. It wouldn’t put out hot water. Then I was told that the faucet handle had to be set at a very specific spot (which maintenance marked with a sharpie). I don’t understand why they don’t just fix the faucet. How many people will stay in that room and have the same problem?
