Casablanca Inn was in the perfect location as we had an event to attend just down the street. The room was comfortable and the center atria garden was a lovely place to relax. The included breakfast had many good options. The staff was very kind and helpful. The free San Clemente troller stopped right in front of the Inn. A great stay!

It’s a cute motel with a good location but I’ve never stayed somewhere with such thin walls. No exaggeration, I could hear our neighbors fart. A/C unit didn’t work well. Otherwise clean and comfortable.

I love that Casablanca Inn is privately owned and operated. The gal at the front desk was very helpful suggesting a number of places for dinner within walking distance. Enjoyed a burger and sandwich at the nearby brewery. Our room was clean and spacious. Free breakfast this morning was great- saved us time from having to go someplace else for breakfast. Would stay here again!
