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!

We very much enjoyed our stay, the room was fine for purpose, though the decor was a bit tired, you wouldn't want to spend some rainy days in it; the pool area and BBQ were a great amenity. Gave 5 stars for the staff, who were lovely: friendly, fun and helpful. Would go again, thank you

The front desk staff are so lovely! An elderly couple was ahead of me and the staff was so patient and helpful. The courtyard is very enchanting and tranquil. I happen to strain a back muscle and after 3 hours of sitting and driving, I was stiff, to say the least!! When I opened my door and saw a jacuzzi tub…what can I say…God is Good. And Casablanca Inn is so Good!!

I think there’s an updated portion of this hotel that’s nicer—I unfortunately did not get a room in that part of the building. Hairs in the shower, damp carpet, and very thin walls. The Best Western down the road in Dana Point is nicer for roughly the same price.

Liked the hot tub. Property has declined over the past 5 - 10 years Rooms need serious painting and updating. Interior rugs are stained and worn. Door trim ,frames walls need a fresh coat of paint.

Dirty upon arrival, pool and hottub were gross and unusable. Picture didn’t even match the room they gave us looked 15 years old when online everything was modern. The room had hair in bathroom and wasn’t cleaned at all. They also charged me an Extra 50 dollars after I left. Really bad experience only postive was the pizza place up the street.
