Not a bad place. Staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms are updated, but cheaply - floor is cracked in multiple places and the water for my shower never got hot - just lukewarm. There was a fire alarm in the middle of the night - fire department came, but no one could get in touch with the property management. It was right by the highway - not a terrible place to stay, but there are better options. You get what you pay for.

It's a beautiful, recently remodeled hotel with several covered parking spots. Rooms are updated also. But instead of a key or card you get a 6-digit code to enter your room, and it always took several tries. The walls are thin, so I had to run the nice AC all night to block out the noise from the highway. The water took 5 minutes to get warm in the shower. And the TV is a Roku, so they had no local channels, and not the cable channel that had the NL Playoff game, so I missed it. The king size bed was very old and too soft.

The bathroom door does not have a proper door, so there is a complete lack of privacy. They have improvised a 'barn door' instead of a locking door. The room is clean, but sparse. It was very damp and the bed was not comfortable.

I don’t like the farmers door on the bathroom which left open and almost 2 inch gap open. Also didn’t like the shower, which didn’t have a door. And the coffee machine in the room did not work well

The room was modern and large with no carpeting - Hooray! However, the bathroom door is a sliding door which doesn't close completely. If you are using the bathroom, the person lying in bed close to the back of the room can see you inside the bathroom - showering (which is fine) but doing your business - not so fine. Additionally, the pet fee is $50 per day! Maybe at a 5 star hotel with a nice pet area, I would pay that but this is a beach hotel - and you are using the sidewalk grass along a busy main street bordered by a main freeway. It was an unpleasant surprise. All Staff members were very accommodating and extremely helpful and pleasant.

We had a terrible stay at Surfbreak Hotel. Upon entering our room we could see visible mold and water damage on the ceiling, and in the bathroom on the wall. We requested a different room due to the uninhabitable circumstances and they were unable to change our room. We cancelled the rest of our stay but I have yet to be reimbursed or compensated at all. The office staff is unable to refund our stay, and they said I need to contact the manager. Upon many phone calls, voicemails and messages, I received one call back and the issue has yet to be resolved and we have not been refunded for any of our stay. I tried to handle the issue with the hotel before leaving any reviews but considering they have not done anything to remedy the issue of their uninhabitable room conditions, as well as costing us a lot of time and extra money to move our family vacation, I am now leaving a review. Would not recommend at all. The rooms have appeared to be somewhat remodeled but there are bigger issues than what shows in photos.

Property was cute and had a local feel. Convenient location to the beach. No true amenities and while the property appeared renovated in some areas, it still had an outdated vibe.

I will absolutely be making a point to come back to Surfbreak in the future. Everything from checking in, finding a room assignment that worked for me and my partner, and even getting restaurant recommendations was stupendous. The staff is incredible, I absolutely adore the lot of them. They ensured that we had a good, quiet room with a lot of privacy - and in general the other patrons were awesome to talk to. The overall vibe of the people around this place was great. Nice and great temperament. Also, this place is less than 2 miles away from the beach! There is a park nearby for easy access as well. Whenever I'm in San Clemente again, I will absolutely prioritize Surfbreak. Very memorable place, in a great location.

The Wi-Fi wasn’t always working, I would like to see somebody at the front desk the hours the doors said it would be instead having to call a number and then wait for them to show up at the facility. We were fortunate to get parking each time we went out.
