Top South Day Use Beach Hotel Reviews

Capistrano Coast House

8/10 Good

"The gentleman who checked us in (Aldo) was incredibly helpful and friendly. The woman at the front desk in the morning (name unknown) was not particularly helpful or friendly. We were told breakfast was from 8-10, but at 8:50, we got the last of it. Seemed odd they weren’t planning to serve anyone else coming later. We reserved a king room with a balcony but got a queen room without one. Property was well-maintained but a little offbeat. Probably not for everyone."
