Comfort Suites San Clemente Beach

10/10 Excellent
"I have stayed at a few Comfort Inn locations and the south San Clemente location is my favorite. If you like to surf, golf, bicycle or hang at the beach you are in a great area. I would plan a car or ride share to Sonny’s Italian restaurant, it excellent. Some great lesser known restaurants are a short walk. The locals are very friendly if you enjoy a game of pool at the close by bars. Don’t forget to buy a Marine a beer. The staff at any Comfort Inn are usually a good experience and at this location they are very helpful."
