Pros:

The inn was simple but clean and effective. It is next to a bar and a restaurant (one of which is my favorite in San Clemente) so its great for if you need somewhere clean and nice to stay.

Disgusting place
Pros:

Room was filthy. Cannot use the tub for a bath (cracks and a sign saying you will be charged $250 cleaning if you use as a bath because the tub leaks). Walls were falling apart. Microwave was filthy with food. Grime and dust everywhere (see videos). Dirt and hair in the drawers. Floor level windows in the bathroom and lower neighboring building with a view to the upstairs room (creepy and invasive). Unfriendly desk clerk. I posted an initial negative review and shortly after posting my room key mysteriously deactivated, forcing me to go to the office to reactivate where I was asked by the clerk to remove the negative review.only after I said OK (I was in a hurry to get to my concert) was I given the key back. Get there too late and you dont get a parking spot. There is exposed electrical in the bathroom with no fan. Shower head is nearly chest level (I’m 5’11”) cracks in the bathtub. Hard mattress. Even harder pillows. Thin felt-like blankets. The pictures and videos paint the picture. This place is a disgusting ripoff for nearly $300 per night. Never again. Spend your money elsewhere is my advice. Terrible!

Pros:

Close proximity, nice staff

Cons:

Got the smaller room as I was a very late check in. Beds should be updated but I stay here often for the price.

Basic but good
Pros:

The soap bars are the little chalky single use ones and no hair conditioner. Super simple and clean. People in office nice. Worked for a quick stay for sleep and go.

Pros:

We were there for a ball tournament. There were numerous restaurants within a very short walk of the hotel. Ralphs, a grocery store, was 2 blocks away. Very convenient to the ballpark.

Pros:

Was walked in on at night by other guests because the front desk forgot we were in there apparently. Other than this one rather large lapse in service the staff are friendly and accommodating.

It was awful. We will never book with American Value Inns again
Pros:

No breakfast available

Cons:

About everything. The room was not clean, couldn't take a bath due to possible flooding, the mattress was awful. Looked for American Value Inn, wasn't on the building. It had Budget Lodge on the building. Took us almost 45 minutes to finally get there, after calling and was finally told it was budget lodge. There were hairs on the bathroom floor and food crumbs against the wall behind the table.
