"Great location, quirky rooms, convenient cantina upstairs, definitely loud so if you are an early to bed type maybe not the vibe, but great if you’re along for the ride! Like the self checkin and no lobby. Housekeeper is very sweet."

The location is unbeatable — it’s walking distance to all of the main spots with breweries, shops, and restaurants, and it’s also super close to the beach. Check-in was incredibly easy and stress-free, which made the whole stay even better. The free drink voucher was a fun bonus and a nice touch. The hotel has a relaxed, welcoming vibe and makes it easy to enjoy everything San Clemente has to..."

"We had such a comfortable stay at Nomads! We had a seamless late check in, there were two beds plus a very comfortable futon and four of us slept very well. There’s a sound machine and ear plugs for the bar noise and the staff is all lovely. Highly recommend and we will come back to SURF CAMP again!"

"This hotel has become our favorite in San Clemente. It has a great restaurant and is within walking distance to other restaurants and shopping. We walked the 15 minutes to the beach so we didn’t need to mess with traffic. Easy self check in. We were in Room 2. It could use a bit of updating but it is still a great room. The shower seat had a frame but nothing to sit on. We laughed at that. The sink..."
