Relatively convenient, but be aware that it is on the other side of the 5 freeway from attractions and dining. This is walkable during the day, but you may need to drive or take ride share at night. It was surprisingly and pleasantly quiet given its proximity to the freeway.

Would stay again

Really comfortable bed and great pillows. Impressive breakfast with omelets, eggs and sausages. Not your standard continental fare. Only minor issue is no elevator so you need to drag your luggage up if on the second floor. Very convenient location for walking into downtown San Juan Capistrano
