Good location for an average stay.

Location and ease of check in.

There was constant people walking above the room that it made difficult to sleep. The front door was constantly left open.

awful
Pros:

the room was big

Cons:

there is no parking, the bed was broken collapsed , there was bloody snot on the bathroom wall, it is underneath an establishment that moves furniture into the late hours and no matter how loud you put noise cancelling on and ear plugs - still hear it. no staff onsight- probably because there would be more people demanding refunds and giving complaints

Only place I’ll stay in San Clemente
Pros:

How cozy and unique our room was. Truly felt like a mini resort getaway and not like a typical hotel stay

Cons:

That it’s small and every room is a whole vibe

I wish I can be reimbursed or at least get my deposit back.
Pros:

The front desk lady was very nice, and she kindly asked me to pay $100 fee with my credit card upon arrival. The location is great, it's 2-3 minutes walk from the Del Mar street which has free transportation, every 15-20 minutes it takes you straight to the pier and you can enjoy the beautiful ride, you can definitely tip the trolly driver. I love the Fisherman's restaurant at the pier, the food is always fresh and you get to sit on the balcony and enjoy the fresh ocean air. There are plenty of nice boutiques, a decent size public library with the free parking space in the back. Del Mar street looks amazing at night with all the trees decorated with LED lights.

Cons:

My $100 hold fee which was paid upon arrival was never refunded. On top of that, I was supremely disappointed that there was a big water leak from the ceiling above, I was not reimbursed for the stay nor was offered get a discount or a safer room. The light switches glitched because of the water leak. The hotel fees which were paid did not meet my expectations, therefore, I can't call this transaction as a fair exchange of goods and services. I'm still hoping to get my $100 back.
Also, the amount of noise from the restaurant on the top floor was unbearable, this was never disclosed when I booked the reservation, and noise from the foot traffic and dragging the furniture on the floor was unacceptable. I was offered two complimentary cards (which i never used). It offered 2 free alcohol drinks from the restaurant, even though I don't drink alcohol. Can someone help me get my questions answered and get my money back?
