My reservation was a Spa King Balcony. I got to my room & no Spa? Went back to the office & he offered an upgrade, but no balcony (I like the salty ocean air since it is near the beach)? I ended up negotiating & got an extra 3-hours of stay to compensate & no down deposit. The room had ants in the bathroom shower creeping out the walls & by the desk. There is not small table where most room would have it, so I ate the desk that had ants on it. The mounted conditioner bottle was broken in the shower. Everything else was okay. I paid $125 total through a special ******* deal & got what I paid for, an average room.

A Lil bit of Heaven indeed. An absolute gem of a hotel located in beautiful San Clemente with a very peaceful stay for 4 months making me want to even come here for a vacation in future when Colorado gets too hot or cold. The beach walks and bluff trails along the azure ocean coast and wide open ocean sky, were only a stone's throw away from the Holiday Inn Express San Clemente, were very pleasant and pleasing indeed, a real escape from the bustling world, with a shopping mall and excellent restaurants nearby make The Holiday Inn Express at San Clemente one of the best locations in the world I have stayed at. The staff, including Guzy, James, Jenny, Jack, Patrik, Kat, Frank, Rosa, Guadaloupe, Patty, and Rudy, are the most caring heart-felt people and are a true asset to the establishment, their friendly, hospitable and welcoming spirit made the stay here a joy. The location of the hotel is very, very convenient and close to the nuclear site I work at; the room was very comfortable and modern, with desks to work at in conjunction with excellent high-speed internet even when the hotel was fully booked, made this a productive office away for me. The bed was firm, and I really rested well and had the deepest refreshing many nights of slumbering sleep, with a revitalizing clean, modern shower and bathroom meticulously cleaned and prepared every day back to the hotels very high standard, the housekeeping staff Guadaloupe, Patty, and Juan are the best I have ever experienced in my many select extended hotel working stays around the civilized worlds hotels. I enjoyed waking to the sunrise, clear skies and the silhouetted palm trees, and the vibrant colours and fragrances of the bougainvillea were all like a gorgeous dream you do not want to wake up from. A charming and enjoyable working hotel indeed, I will always want to come back for more of this perfect experience and loving environment. The whole experience is like living in a cartoon of a very real high standard. A perfect hotel living experience. Thank you very much indeed.

The Inn is adequate. The bed is comfortable. Everything was clean and well maintained. The small kitchen was clean and convenient. The WiFi is excellent. Good choices for cable TV. The furniture is not particularly comfortable. The downside and the reason we will not go back (this was our second stay in 4 years) is the rude woman at the reception desk. The Inn has a policy of deactivating your room key at 10 am on the day of check out, which they do not inform you of. We had to go back to leave a tip, turn on the dishwasher, and get the last bag. The cleaner at the far end of the balcony was not authorized to let us back in. We went to the office and a young man activated the key, no questions asked. After a couple of minutes to wrap up our exit, we went back to turn in the keys. We told a woman at the reception that it seemed rather small to deactivate the key on the top of the hour, which we had never experienced before in 50 years of travelling. She waived a paper at us and said we had signed it and therefore knew that the check out was 10 am. We asked if there is a grace period. She said there was, although nobody told us. This was the only interaction we had with staff other than the initial check in. Our experience is that this kind of authoritarian rudeness means there are other problems at the site. So we will not be returning. If you go, and you need a couple of extra minutes at check out, simply don't close your door and save yourself getting the paper waived in your face. Restaurants nearby that we liked: Fig, MRK, Hot N Chili (Indian), and the Riviera which is in the resort and we ate there twice. Definitely make the trip to Laguna Beach and eat at the Lumberyard on the main street, Forest Avenue, after you've enjoyed the beautiful shops. Make a reservation to visit the Hortense Miller house and garden in Laguna Beach for a refreshing and unique experience.

The hotel room is large, with tables and chairs, downstairs is a sports field, very nice

Customer service is lacking in some of your employees. Colin, specifically, the front desk person should NOR be speaking to guests. When I called the front desk from my room asking for more pillows and blankets. Why? Because there were 4 people in the room, and the sofa bed is not the most comfortable. Colin answers the phone and said in an unfriendly tone: ”Let me see what I can do.”. That is not the way to talk to a customer. I asked him: ”What do you mean?”. He said: ”Some of the guests may have already taken all of the blankets and pillows.” Well, this is a hotel. I was under the assumption that hotels have extra pillows and blankets. Anyway, what a stupid way to answer! He could have said: ”No problem. I will have someone deliver those to you right away.” The nice gentleman who showed up from housekeeping came back to our room 4 times. He was the sweetest. I wish I remembered his name. He got us blankets, and then pillows. He even reminded me that we had pillows and blankets in the bag on the top of the closet. I also forgot that I needed an additional bath towel because there were only 3 in the bathroom. Once again, housekeeping gave me an extra towel. He was very customer-oriented UNLIKE Colin (from the front desk) who should not be working in this industry which entails being customer-focused. Maria was very good. She even helped me book the room for 7/16/2022 when I had a problem booking it online on 7/11/2022. She stayed on the phone with me until I got the booking confirmed. I had the opportunity to meet Maria when we checked out. She is very pleasant. On the other hand, Colin, should be reprimanded for bad customer service skills. He needs to GO. He also doesn't explain anything upon check-in. He rushed everything. He just handed me the key and asks me to refer to the card in the back of the key holder. He has no warmth.

Welcome again! Time for another round of my thoughts on the Sea Horse Resort! We stayed at the Coronado Suites within the Sea Horse Resort, occupying room #6. It was a family trip with me, my mom, and our beloved puppy, Petey. Our stay lasted for two delightful days. On our departure day, I made a stop at the San Clemente pier, which stretches out impressively over the ocean, offering breathtaking views. That wraps up my reflections! Coming soon: My Rant on Knott's Berry Farm. Catch you later!
