We booked for two nights and were impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel and proximity to the pier. The partial ocean view was better than many hotels with full ocean views (the room was spacious with a full size refrigerator and nice kitchenette), with a direct view of the pier and beach. Check in was easy and the staff were friendly and accommodating. The only negative comments I have are the parking, which is limited and extremely tight, and the narrow stairs which lead to the office and rooms. People with injuries or disabilities might have issues accessing the rooms because the hotel is built into the hillside (as all of them in the area are). Overall, we greatly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Seahorse Resort.

We had an amazing stay at the Sea Horse Resort in San Clemente! The room view was absolutely stunning, with a breathtaking view of the ocean waves and the San Clemente pier. We also enjoyed watching the Amtrak train and the trolley pass by. The check-in process was seamless, and parking was a breeze. The ladies in the office were super friendly and made us feel welcome. The room was spotless and comfortable, and we loved the cozy atmosphere. However, we made the mistake of sleeping with the balcony door open and the fan on, which didn't quite work out as planned since the train noise woke us up in the middle of the night. Despite that minor hiccup, everything else was perfect. The resort's location is unbeatable, with plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. We even took the trolley to a popular Mexican spot, which was a fantastic experience. 5/5 stars The sound of the waves was like music to our ears, and we felt so lucky to be able to listen to it all night. We're already looking forward to our next visit and can't wait to explore more of San Clemente. Highly recommend the Sea Horse Resort to anyone looking for a relaxing coastal getaway!

Perfect location for getting to know the area. Right across the street from the pier, Amtrak stop and lots of places to eat plus a convenience store at the end of the block. Downtown is about a 25 minute uphill walk. The trolley stop is across the street which will take you several places within San Clemente.

Cute hotel and our room had a great view. Check-in was ok considering we had to access a lock box to get a key. Smart locks would be a great upgrade for this hotel since the office closes at 7pm. We had to meter park on the street because there were no spots left.

Amazing location and view!

I had a wonderful stay. A lot of space and my room had an awesome view of the beach and the pier. Was a quick walk to the beach and they offer beach towels and chairs for you to use. Also close to a small store and a couple of places to grab a quick bite to eat. It is a bit of an older property but it is well maintained. The staff is very friendly. I hesitate to review this too well because it’s a relatively small property and I don’t want it to sell out the next time I want to visit.

Beautiful ocean views across from Pier

What a wonderful vacation! We loved the spacious room and small kitchen, though we never cooked…there are too many great options for dining in the area. We especially enjoyed having breakfast at Frenchies Café on the lower level of our building and dinner at Fisherman's Restaurant on the pier. Having a dedicated parking space was a real treat. Our room was ocean view, so we loved sitting on the patio, people watching and hearing the waves crashing. You do hear the trains throughout the day, not at night, but they go through quickly. We definitely plan to stay here again!

Funky older property but nice to be near the beach and have a kitchen. It's a pretty active spot with a lot going on (train crossing that frequently blows train whistle, a trolly bus stop right in front, lots of people accessing the pier and beach. Good food options and great beach access make it mostly worth it.

The best location in San Clemente! We stayed in a studio, ocean view and it was perfect - spacious, clean, modern. It has 2 ceiling fans to keep it cool. Great patio and priceless view of the ocean and pier. Yes - it’s a busy spot and can get loud with traffic, train, and people - but we expected it given the location - so no complaints here… (just a warning if you’re looking for peace and quiet by the ocean)

Pros: The room was clean and seemed to be somewhat recently renovated. The view was amazing and the villa we stayed in had a nice sized balcony to enjoy the ocean view. There is a stairway right next to the rooms leading directly to the shops and cafes, then just cross the street to reach the beach and pier. I loved having the kitchenette to store and reheat leftovers. The staff was very friendly. Con’s: My main and biggest complaint was the bed. I have a lot of back/hip pain and prefer a more plush mattress and this one was very hard. There were 4 pillows on the king bed but I tend to sleep with a couple extra. When I requested a few extra pillows I was told they had no more as the rooms were supplied with the allotted amount. After waking up at 3am in pain we ended up running to Target the next morning to buy a foam mattress topper and extra pillows. There is also a train track on the opposite side of the road that we did hear at least once in the middle of the night. There is a barn door for the bathroom that is not sealed so I would not recommend this room for newer couples. You can definitely hear everything that goes on behind that door and even make eye contact with someone on the toilet if you’re at the right angle (my husband likes to make things awkward). My only other minor complaint is the TV. It is hung in the living space with 2 chairs in front of it. The bed is around the corner. It would be nice to have a place to snuggle up and watch a movie/show.
