In a nutshell, stellar experience!!!! Keep reading if you want more detail, or just move on and know you can not go wrong by staying here! Enjoy! Or if you want a longer story, I came here on business, as a few times before, and this time I wanted to make sure to bring my wife for a much needed trip and I wanted to plan out the perfect stay, for about 4 days, and killed it I think!!! Please read on if you are so inclined. My wife and I absolutely loved everything about San Clemente and the SeaHorse lodging, and we have traveled somwhat afar, but only here in the states mostly, normally we prefer to destroy ourselves at the "junction" of Rue De Bourbon and Fremonte St........If yuns know ya know! Back to the important part: I would so very highly recommend the SeaHorse for anyone looking for a low key and not busy type of short stay like we had, so fantastically chill! But, if you wanna blow off some steam there is some hype hangouts close by, we met super wonderful people at Goodys, and the Red Fox had some really nice people as well, great spots to enjoy down to earth conversation, and we just loved the bartender and Joanne the sports nut and so on and so forth, just wonderful people, and so many others so nice! I rolled the dice on this trip and couldn't be more satisfied with the result. From the well kept and holiday decorated San Clemente Pier, directly across the street, to the broad ocean view from the deck, and the restaurants and convenience store all within 1 minute walk, just fantastic, so quiet and peaceful as well.... The staff of SeaHorse was as friendly and courteous as anyone could want! I mean just flippin nice, the housestaff and all, my interaction with the housestaff, she was so super nice, wonderful! The SeaHorse was great, ground zero for our stay, the best lodging we have had anywhere! I hope you all have as great a stay as we did! Greg D

No complaints here.

Staff was great - very helpful and friendly. View from the room was amazing. Room was clean, comfortable - the view/ balcony was the best part! Helpful to have free parking and located close to cute coffee shops and restaurants, which made things super easy.

The walls are a little on the thin side, which I didn't really notice until a family with a small child checked in next door - so that wasn't ideal. The worst part about it was that there is a pipeline project happening at the beach right now and it would have been nice to know this to factor in to whether or not it was a good time to visit as it is being worked on throughout the day/evening, so there is a lot of tractor/large machinery noise including reverse warning signals that are almost a constant.

This is a Great Hotel, at the Beach, my Favorite Beach. I used to live in San Clemente years ago. There is everything one needs right there at the Pier Shops and the Pier itself. Fisherman's is Most Excellent and I Loved the Crepe Galette and the Pier Market

The guest above me walked around like a herd of elephants, thankfully they went to bed around 10 pm so it was Tolerable. My Only Issue was the Water Pressure in the shower, it had No Pressure and I kept smelling sewage that was coming out of the shower drain. Simple fixes. This is a very old building so it's all understandable. I am used to great water pressure in my shower

The front desk lady was so positive, friendly and helpful. The chairs and umbrella were needed and helpful. Restaurants were right there. The view from the balcony was tremendous. The smell of the ocean was so wonderful. Downtown is a leisurely walk. Lots of open beach.

I can't think of anything. I suppose the steps to the beach could certainly be a handicap person's nightmare. But, you state all this before anyone makes a reservation. The early train warning is slightly off-putting. No biggy.

Very close to the beach. We loved being close to food places along with being about to walk to the beach and pier. There were many options for all meals and a little convenience store all really close. The room we were in was wonderful. Very clean and comfortable. We would absolutely stay there again.

Parking was interesting. We were able to park in a dedicated parking spot they have but it was tight. It is my understanding there is also some street parking around that are metered and some that don't have meters.

The receptionist was perky and lively. The location across the street from the beach, Pacific Ocean and San Clemente Pier is ideal. The complimentary coffee at the associated Creperie next door is a nice amenity. The king bed is quite good as are the sheets and four pillows

The property is dated, musty and not topnotch at over $300 a night for a small ocean view studio on a non-busy weekday in October. The onsite parking while complimentary too is tight and low. The property notes parking for one compact car per room. Three tight spaces under the building on the street are indeed “tight”. The rear gate on our compact Ford SUV rental hits the ceiling and the doors barely open when another car is parked on either side. Opt for a garage nearby. The showed is not in the bathroom and is old and rusty with a plastic door

This property is a dream. Can’t beat the location! It is centrally located and literally AT the beach! The place is modern and freshly designed — Villa #2 was well laid out with everything you could need: iron, blow dryer, coffee maker, toaster, fridge, cookware, wide open kitchen, plenty of seating, large ocean-facing windows… Enjoyed quiet bedrooms and loved the dual access entry to both upper parking and downstairs to the street level which is a main hub of pier + shops/eateries. The king bed is super comfortable… but really, nothing beat the amazing (huge) balcony overlooking the street with ocean views for days… bliss. Property is dog-friendly ($40/nt) and has hard floors throughout. Full kitchen was wonderful for bringing drinks, snacks, and leftovers. We really appreciate the free coffee vouchers for downstairs restaurant too! We didn’t use the amenities of beach toys/chairs/umbrellas or the outdoor garden lounge but love that they’re available.

Nothing to dislike! (Our room wasn’t ADA accessible.)

Location and size/layout of the unit. With the full kitchen we didn’t have to do all the stress of going out and could truly rest in our pajamas. The huge deck was such a delight and the view was really nice, especially the ocean breeze coming in.

All the steps-up and down everywhere…and I wish it had a gas fireplace. That would have been the cherry on top. Neighbors talking on speaker phone was a real nuisance…not the hotel’s fault.

We loved everything about the property. It was perfect. Location was exactly where we wanted to be. Walking distance from Fisherman’s as well as a small market & other eateries. Walking distance or a short drive to Del Mar for shopping. We listened to the waves crashing from our living room. There was a beautiful Christmas tree at the end of the pier that we could see from our balcony.

Nothing. Everything was great.

The location is ideal, and the view is astounding. The beach and pier are directly across the street. The staff were all amazing and incredibly helpful. We loved our unit immensely. Plenty of seating, linens, cooking and eating tools, and the ability to check out beach items from the office. We received immediate support for a television issue.

Some kitchen and bath remodel features seem to be more for looks than ease of use. No kitchen or bathroom cabinets or drawers, no towel racks, no “visual clutter” that’s useful for storing and easy access, so our things piled up on the counters. But the overall comfort and fabulousness of the unit much outweighed any negatives!
