Hotel Miramar

Lovely hotel! I stayed two nights in mid-May. Because I was waiting for my son to come home from deployment, I wanted a hotel close to the Camp Pendleton San Mateo gate. And, because I wouldn’t know until he actually landed somewhere what time he’d be showing up, I didn’t want to wander far from my hotel. So I was in the room a lot. Check in was fast and easy, and the folks at the front desk were just as nice as could be. I had a king room, which included a sleeper sofa and a gorgeous walk in shower! The room was spotless. It included a small refrigerator with freezer, microwave, hair dryer, and a Keurig coffee maker! The bed was wonderful. FOUR big soft pillows, a fluffy comforter, and pillow-top mattress. The air conditioner was a bit loud, but it didn’t keep me from sleeping at all. I would definitely stay here again!

As I like to include “heads up” things in my reviews, please note the following: The hotel can charge a $100 deposit at check in. El Camino Real is a major thoroughfare in San Clemente. That means a lot of traffic during the day and on into the evening. But it was pretty quiet from about 11pm to 6am. However, if you want to sleep early and have a street-facing room, it could be an issue. I didn’t have any trouble sleeping even when the traffic was going by.

We just needed a place for the night. It was close to where we needed to go. It’s right off a main street so it was quite busy and noisy. However, the room was quite large and clean. The bed was king size and comfortable; the pillows were too lumpy for me. We loved the bathroom as it looked newly done. Water pressure was great. The air conditioner worked very well.

The room had a bad musty smell. It was probably the carpet and/or the little fabric sofa, which looked like it could’ve used some vacuuming! It was a little too expensive for me, but it was the weekend so I get it. Plus it’s a beach town with good shops and restaurants.

Newly renovated. the bed was extra comfortable and the showerheads belonged at the Ritz Carlton.

There’s no balcony with city view unless you consider front door on the second floor as your balcony.

The hotel staff went above and beyond. We checked in VERY late and they were kind enough to stay up to wait for us until nearly midnight. Hotel Miramar was a great value and we had a good night sleep. The air conditioning, refrigerator, microwave, and in-room coffee maker were much appreciated. The parking on site was ample and safe.

Room was newly remodeled, clean, comfortable beds. Staff was very friendly as well!

The only thing people may not like is that you do hear some traffic noise at night, but we were able to sleep just fine.

it’s very very clean and well located. good value. the owner and staff were EXTREMELY nice. so sweet.

they are working on improvements and there were workers right outside my window. it’ll be nice when the upgrades are done

The bed was extremely comfy, I appreciated the proximity to restaurants and the beach.

the management was behind a window like when doing a bank transaction.

The view, close to the beach and stores. Good location...

No outside dumpters for trash. And people were still smoking even its a no smoking site.

This was my second stay at Hotel Miramar. As before, it was spotlessly clean, and very, very comfortable.

Hotel was nothing fancy, but the room was clean and had what we needed. Not a bad price for being so close to the beach.
