    Our stay at this cute, well-maintained motel was good. The email confirmation mentioned we were to call the motel if getting in late, so I called and spoke to Kate (?), who was lovely. She had the room lights on for us and a key under the doormat, since the desk was closed.

    Conveniently located on PCH Calafia Motel's newly remodeled rooms are small but elegantly appointed and quiet. The Calafia State Beach, San Clemente Golf Course, and the hip Del Mar Street shopping/restaurant district are all within a one mile walking radius. The staff is helpful and the rooms are affordable.

    Charming, quaint 1930s motel, semi renovated, wonderful staff, great location. We’d stay again. You need reasonable expectations - it’s cheap for San Clemente. They’ve made it cute with extras like a tiny picnic area and dog area, nice linens, table/stools in room. But it’s old and not soundproofed. The main negative is it’s on a busy street and noise is significant. The positives are: super kind staff, 5 mins from T-Street beach, awesome bagel/coffee cafe next door.

    The location is perfect especially if you like to go for a run. Clean room. Natural ventilation in the bathroom. The breakfast was good, better than most similar motels.
