Casablanca Inn

Casablanca Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Casablanca Inn is our "go to" stay spot when visiting San Clemente primarily for the location (walkable to North Beach, 7-11 for early morning coffee, the excellent food locations of Rider Club and Super Bowl Teriyaki). Wife also likes to run to Dana Point and back on the path along the beach, Short five minute drives to T-Street, The Pier, and San Juan Capistrano or Dana Point. The staff are always super friendly (especially the lovely breakfast lady). We normally stay in the newer wing but we had our lil doggie and son so we stayed in third floor room on older wing, which was clean and perfectly fine. Plenty of parking in the hotel and overflow lot. The pool towels are kinda small and the palm trees need a proper cleanup, but those are minor things and overall Casablanca provides excellent value. Big fans here and thanks for another awesome stay!~"
