Had to Change Rooms
We were excited for our stay because our room had a jetted tub. Unfortunately, the previous occupant smoked cigarettes in the non-smoking room. The odor was very strong. We tried to air it out, but the smell did not go away. We called the front desk and asked to move to another room. The person who checked us in came to the room to see how much it smelled. He immediately smelled the cigarettes. He apologized and gave us another room. It was not a king bed with a jetted rub, but we still enjoyed our stay. Also, the hot breakfast options were great!

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!
new shower! Great water pressure and we love the line of shampoos and body wash and lotion
the palm trees were decorated along the beach during Christmas time
New sink and touch light mirror!
View of the beach as we were driving out of the parking lot.
