Hotels in San Clemente

I stayed here after reading all the reviews about the family run location and the positive interaction with the staff. While we only stayed a night and arrived at 10pm, Phil and his wife were all smiles upon my arrival, told me all about the beaches and things to do. He also mentioned his wife's secret coffee recipe, which I had the following morning and it was wonderful. Pleasant experience, no...

My husband and I stayed here for 2 years in a row for our anniversary (married for 11 years) and it was the most relaxing vacation/stay! First time we stayed there we had the jacuzzi tub room. The second time we had the ocean view room with balcony. Both stays were soooo memorable. Phil, his wife and staff have made it more than perfect for us. If we could, we would make it a tradition here every anniversary...

Just remember this is on the opposite side of the highway as the ocean and the train tracks. We stayed in one of their newly remodeled rooms that was oceanfront. It was definitely as close to the ocean as you can get in that area. But it is still across the street and the train tracks from the ocean. The view was still very nice especially in the morning. The management and staff were wonderful friendly...

The size of the room was great, it was clean, parking is easily accessible and staff was very friendly. Really cool little hotel, close to the beach and relaxing atmosphere despite the road in front of it.

The room we stayed in was recently redone, spacious with a beautiful view. However, the best part was the warm staff that manages the hotel. The (I think) husband and wife team were extremely friendly and went out of their way to add little touches to the stay such as warming up the room before we arrived in December. We will definitely stay here again when we come back down to visit family.

I stayed in an Ocean View Room with a balcony and the view was absolutely breathtaking. The hotel is directly across the street from the beach and there was no obstructed views. I also like that the hotel is a smaller more intimate environment. The room is modern with really nice decor. Everything thing is set up nicely (including fridge & microwave) to fit the room perfectly. I felt like I was at...

We stayed here 6 years ago and we loved it them and we love it now Good location. Great bfast. Lovely staff good size room.

Wonderful staff doing great customer service. From the front desk staff to the breakfast room team to housekeeping, everyone made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Walking distance to the beach and the harbor, and close to places to eat. We will return.

very nice hotel, everything well appointed. should be a 3 star, not 2! walking to beach and restaurants. nice complimentary hot breakfast. 3rd floor suit was very nice also with everything new and modern. only down side is right on PCH, hear allot of traffic.

So we came in as part of a very long vacation, it was one of our stops. We stayed for three days when we got there, we realized our room is quite small for five people.. what more we only had two queen beds .. we have three teenagers with us so this is logically impossible.. when we ordered the room we made sure to put in all the kids ages because we know we need a bigger room with bigger beds . We...

Nice location, downtown Dana Point. We have stayed 3 nights in May 2023, it looks like the hotel is still in the process of renovation: lots of workers, constant noise, walls and and spots are painted as you pass by, and of course the smell is awful. Stuff is trying to be helpful, but for example the receptionist just could not figure out how to print a receipt. Room is nice but far from sound proof...

I had a wonderful stay and will definitely be staying again. I had the room with spa tub and was very pleased. Nice hotel and staff. Decent breakfast, pancake machine was cool and they tasted good, only wish there was a protein like bacon or sausage (typical breakfast staple) not chorizo and egg. The TV kept glitching no matter the channel so that was really annoying. Bed was stiff but still a decent...

I DJ weddings & special events here often. The ballrooms and staff are the best. The food & service are excellent. Views are spectacular and the guest rooms are very nice. Highly recommend.

Very nice resort! Beautiful location close to beach and marina with 2 pools. Most rooms with patios or balconies. Top floor rooms have bay windows. Has a lot of charm with contemporary and updated rooms and public spaces. Top floor rooms have bay windows. Friendly, attentive staff! Great place to spend a weekend away from the crowds. We will be back!!

Okay, so we love this place. However, this time on my July 24 birthday we were woken at 3:30 AM by super-loud and obnoxious hotel worker picketers! They banged loud drums and screamed over megaphones from 3:30 to 10:00 AM. Apparently sheriffs came, but couldn’t stop them. We got nearly zero sleep. Nothing past 3:30. Worst hotel stay I ever experienced. The manager agreed to comp us for a future stay...

The good, bad and happy ending. Good, overlooking Dana Point Harbor, seeing the ocean, hearing the seals but at a distance so their barking sounds pleasant. NO CARPET which is a must for me as I am allergic to carpet and so few hotels understand this need. Pleasant room. The bad was a loud event planned just outside my room window when I returned on day 2 evening, and even with window closed the music...

I stayed in two different types of room - one is one king bed located in the other side and the other is two queen beds with ocean views located in main building. My experience was the room in the main building is kind of lack of maintaining - flood in shower room, no the clean, wifi signal weak and stupid functioning of air conditioning while the king bed room in the other side of building shows better...

Wonderful location and property. All the staff we encountered were helpful and friendly. When we checked in I was asked what brought us to the hotel, I replied that we were in town for a friend's wedding and that it also happened to be our wedding anniversary weekend so we were very excited for the weekend. I simply chalked it up to friendly small talk, but the next day when we arrived back to...

Very seldom when you travel does a hotel exceed your expectations. The Blue Lantern and especially the wonderful stuff accomplished this. My wife and can’t wait to return. Thanks again for making our stay so enjoyable. CJ Demos

My recent stay at the Blue Lantern was my first experience with the hospitality industry since covid that has been positive. Everyone was exceptionally conscientious and accommodating, not to mention genuinely friendly. The rooms were perfectly clean and spacious. The breakfast buffet had a wonderful selection of delicious food- especially the eggs benedict! The location was quiet and private and felt...

Our third time visiting, breakfast included great view. There's a lot of busy noise from the street and inside the hotel

Wow. Comfy and cozy bed and breakfast inn. Private and clean. Friendly and welcoming staff. Delicious breakfast. Great marina and ocean view. Just a stroll around the corner for fine dining and the Lantern District shopping.

Love to stay here until the prices skyrocketed, my wife and I used to enjoy staying a couple nights here on special occasions, for us the best rooms were always with a ocean view! Great breakfast, cookies and wine in the evening! We recently visited Ca, after moving away 4 years ago, we did stay here only because of the price increase, as a matter of fact we haven’t stayed here in probably 8 years...

What a great little hotel. Room was awesome with great views. Awesome free breakfast and wine and cheese happy hour. And if you have to work a lovely library lounge with a big screen tv so you can watch March Madness while answering emails

We stayed her for over a week for our honeymoon and it was absolutely superb. The service, food, amenities, and everything in between was 5 star. This is a deluxe resort for a relaxing and beautiful getaway. Each meal for all of the restaurants were delicious and fresh. The staff went above and beyond and made us feel special. We highly recommend!

Oh this place is absolutely breathtaking! From check in to check out the staff made sure there was not one want/need that wasn’t met! We traveled with a very large group & the check in process was so smooth for the number of people checking in. Upon check in they had welcome cocktails & water. The rooms were decorated very nicely & very comfortable. Turn down service was Greatly appreciated as well...

Everything was great until the checkout. I had purchased my brother a gift card as a wedding present December of 2020 for $1,000.00. When he presented the card at checkout he was told it was no good by Daniel at the desk as this was now the Waldorf Astoria. He proceeded to tell this to my brother multiple times and was quite rude. He called me and I could hear Daniel in the background. I explained...

Great hotel and fantastic service. The resort, the room, restaurants, bars, pool and even the hallways are extremely well maintained, clean, and very welcoming, but what stands out the most in is this resort are the people who work there. Everyone that I had the pleasure to interact with from the front desk staff, bartenders, restaurant servers, pool assistants, house cleaners are truly the best....

Their is no words that l can that has been said of the resort extreme friendly and go out of there way to assist . I was disappointed with meal. Wow the way they resolved it was to make sure l was extremely satisfied. How many resorts would train their staff the priority goes to the guests. Kudos to management and staff.

This is one of the greatest spots in dana point. The views are outrageous. The staff is super nice and very helpful. The only part that I did not like was that a water bottle cost me 7 dollars. Other the that, it is a great place. Hopefully next time I have more time to golf. I did see that they have GPS on all the golf carts. It was very cool. The ballrooms for meetings were also very large and beautiful
