I had a wonderful stay at Califia Inn in San Clemente. My room was clean and well kept. Staff was helpful and ensured my stay was comfortable. For being located in a busy area, my room was quiet and I was able to sleep well for my 3 night trip. Nice area of San Clemente and very walkable. I highly recommend!

I moved to Ventura County and come back to town for a couple days every other month. The last time I came I stayed here for the first time. When I arrived this time, she remembered me, and asked if the same room would be ok for me. I was impressed she remembered, and I made up my mind I would stay here every time I come into OC for work. Has just what you need, is clean and perfect for me.

This is an awesome inn. I stayed for 11 nights and it was excellent. This inn is only a 15 minute walk from the beach, I walked to the beach multiple times each day. Lots of great restaurants in San Clemente. One of the best locations I've visited for vacation, I will definitely return in the near future!

Cozy little place to sleep. My husband and I stayed for one night visiting San Clemente. The room was clean, little bit of noise from traffic, other than that it was a comfortable stay. It is conveniently near restaurants and shops, and short drive to the pier and beach.

The owners were super nice to me when I checked in. I was driving a truck and needed guidance into a space so they came out and gave me their space and directed me into it. They also told me options for dinner and breakfast within walking distance. The bed was comfy, the TV was large and the surroundings were pretty quiet over night. Great spot for a easy overnight stay.
