The room looked as if it hadn't been cleaned in quite some time!! Kitchen was dirty and had seen better days! Full size refrigerator with rust and broken shelving. The floor is so unleavel and sloped, it feels like your in a crocked house attraction!! Black sheets and one black towel..made me wonder how they were sanatized...if at all. The bed smelled of urine. The floor was so dirty i put our 1 towel on the floor to walk on. There were used squirt bottles of shop and shampoo in the bathroom that hadn't been cleaned....along with one stained white washcloth. The thermastat was broken and hanging off the wall next to a rusty wall heater. TV cables hanging off the end nightstand that was being used as a TV stand. The bathroom door wouldn't stay closed because of how

I reserved the lease expensive two room apartment. I saved a lot of money by staying here. It was a simple room with one TV and a bed in each room with a side table with two drawers in each room. The air conditioner was a window unit. My stay was during the week and it was very quiet. It’s in walking distance to the grocery store, Starbucks, all the shops and restaurants on Del Mar and yes if you’re fit, you can even walk to the beach, which would take approximately 15 minutes downhill but coming back is all uphill, and great customer service. Our room was ready earlier than anticipated and all request to the front desk were met.

It was like sleeping in somebody’s bedroom that really didn’t care about it. Drawers were dirty inside no hair dryer sheets were questionable. So much more I could say but honestly, you’ve got the idea. I guess when you’re only paying $100 a night you can’t really expect much more than that by the beach. The staff was very nice. We got an early check-in. The positive is it’s close to everything within walking distance. Beach is an about 5 miles away.

The staff is fantastic and very knowledgeable about the local area. For the rate, it’s a perfect stay and an easy walk to anywhere you’d want to be in San Clemente.

Cool building that’s settled into itself and its foundations so there are a couple of areas where the ends of the room may slant a little but nothing bad.

Will definitely stay again.

P.S. Our unit had a small kitchen with a fridge and was perfect.

It was 2.9 stars on Expedia. It was a lea than one star. There was black mildew in the shower stall and it was not clean. The room was not cleaned or serviced the entire time. The flooring was a vinyl plank and the butt joints were separated, the planks were bubbled and didn't lie flat. The staff was non responsive and the office was not attended. You had to ring a bell and even then the attendant never came out.
The worst part it the fee was not refundable. Parking was ok

Honestly can’t find a better bang for your buck around this area. Sheets were dirty but I just went to the front desk and asked for new sheets, staff are really friendly. Walking distance to the bars and beach. Perfect for a young group of friends who just need a place to stay or even a young couple who don’t want to damage their bank account. No bugs, no homeless people. My room was great other than the bed sheets. Cheap, close to a lot of things.

Arrived at5pm Room was not ready and not cleaned, we left asking to have cleaned before returning at 9pm. Had to chase down the manager who offered an apology with the excuse about staff. He brought a rag and a bottle of cleaner proceeded to wipe down toilet and sink then went to kitchenette and wiped down counter and microwave with the same rag. There was previous guests food left in refrigerator and microwave and floors not swept. Also previous patrons hair on the shower walls and floor. We found a bottle of Clorox cleaner and spent 45 minutes cleaning and sanitizing. We had checked reviews prior to booking our stay and the place was given 5 stars. NOT even 1 star:(☹️ worst stay in a long time, thought it would be nostalgic in an older place was wrong perhaps if the place would have been clean

Terrible. Arriving at the hotel it was so dirty, small, and it looked suspicious. Nothing like the pictures online! We got into our room and wanted to run outside. It was horrible! It smelled terrible, had mold everywhere, and I didn't stay to check out what else, but the room was dirty. The hotel itself was not clean, had no bathrooms in the lobby, and it was an absolute nightmare. I wanted to stay inside my car instead of that room, but in the end I canceled my stay, and was left finding a last minute hotel. Please don't book here it is truly unlivable.

First of all I got ahold of hotels.com to see if I could het a refund the next thing I know my reservation was canceled so then I had to spend over $700 on hotel rooms for a holiday weekend while being the middle man with hotels.com to.get my refund only to be the middle man talking back and forth for over a week to get my refund for hotels.com to offer me $60 when I declined the offer they told me there was nothing they could do amd sorry for my loss. This is totally unacceptable and a slap in the face so after them telling me multiple times they couldn't get ahold of the property I call the number the property manager Shelly gave me she answered the first time I called and was very nice and helpful she ended up calling hotels.com and gave me my refund that day after over a week with struggling with hotels.com she was nice and understanding and got my money back. Now I'm trying to get the rest of my refund from hotels.com for the service fee they charge wich they're ignoring me about as usual. So I'd suggest to book directly through the hotel and never use hotels.com as they will try and rip you off and give you the run around. I'll never book through hotels.com again after this awful experience. Horrible customer service from hotels.com it took me calling the place to get my refund wich their manager Shelly was amazing and Im so greatful for her. So book direct dont go through what I did it was a nightmare.

Check in time is at 4pm. And we showed up at 6:30pm and we're told that our room hasn't been clean yet because of a mix up. Which is fine, we waited till 7pm to check in but it wasn't a good start.

The bathroom had an odd smell. Kind of smelled like wet dog but it wasn't that foul. And floor was a little sticky.

Also there were cockroaches. I killed a young one and a mother. One of the young ones got away because it was hiding between the shower glass door.

Also Parking isn't guaranteed and AC unit is outdated. It's the really old & really loud ones.

But Besides that, the refrigerator works, the microwave works, and the TV works. And staff seemed nice, just a little incompetent for not having the room ready.

I live in Carlsbad Ca and enjoyed my 3-day stay at Oceana Boutique Hotel. The room is spacious, with ceiling fan, charming with white brick walls and wood slat ceilings. It is historic and renovated. My room was a charming color scheme of navy & turquoise with boat-themed art over the bed. Huge TV made me feel so comfy and the bed and pillows were plush. Microwave, mini fridge and convenient parking in the motel lot. Staff is great! Shelly was so welcoming and fun to talk to, lovely! If you are respectful and follow the rules of the property you will have a good stay. I loved walking the wandering Spanish streets at night. San Clemente is very safe. Oceana is essentially in a residential neighborhood which is great; you are a short walk to dining/shopping (4-6 minutes!) and you can stroll to the pier. You are also a short drive (10 minutes) to neighboring city, San Juan Capistrano with its historic town and Mission. The bathroom was wonderful, large shower and my stay was so peaceful. The staff make Oceana special and take pride in the property! Lovely garden outside, banyan trees at the back. A couple Oriental cockroaches slipped under my door at night. This comes sometimes with coastal areas (Carlsbad too). I would return. San Clemente is a hilly area with great opportunities to walk and wander. Quality independent restaurants abound nearby and great authentic Italian gelato a 7-min walk down the street at Lucky Dog! Wonderful experience at Oceana!:)

The boutique showed up as cat friendly on my web search. I was traveling with my cat so excitedly booked.
Once I finalized the payment I got an email which highlighted the property is not pet friendly and to please not bring pets.
I quickly called to cancel but wasn’t able to get through to any staff. I called a few times over the next couple days- only to find out the staff is truly not available.
I received emails about “we’re excited to see you” to which I’d reply “hi please help me cancel, I have my pet with me I can’t stay with you” of course I’d get no response.
Really frustrating that the staff is MIA.
Not sure if the company has listed themselves as pet friendly on their Business Profile or it was a fluke- but either way they should remain available to assist with reservations.
Didn’t stay, paid for it though!

Avoid this place like the plauge! Check in everything seemed fine. It's a really cute property from the outside. Upon entering my room- the door was wide open, tv on, ac off. The room is hot and dirty. The curtains in the bathroom are see through, with a big window. There is an alley way behind the bathroom that looks directly in, and there are people constantly walking around. The front window curtains only cover part of the front window. One roll of toilet paper for 4 days. No paper towels, or hand towels of any kind. The lamps dont work, so you have to stand on the bed to turn the lights on and off. There is no thermostat. There was urine all over the toilet.The first night when I went out for a smoke, encountered a young woman who said she was meeting Fernando her math dealer, to hopefully score. She then asked me if I wanted to aquire her services, then got mad when I turned her down, and told ME to leave. Next morning I walked to the beach, when I came back there was a sketchy dude on a bike with a back pack posted up right in front of my room, leaning on the window. People kept going up to him to buy something from his bag. After yelling at him, he finally went away. I only stayed one night of the 3 I booked. DO NOT stay here unless shady characters are your thing. As a woman traveling alone, this place is scary. People constantly walking by the windows being loud.

I got up, looked out the peephole and yes I opened the door asked her if she knew what time it was and how she was able to open my door when I had the key(that is the nice version).

You get what you pay for. Buyer Beware! Possibly the worst hotel experience I have ever had. First night, I heard everything from neighboring room - conversation, TV, dog. Note: Hotel has no pet policy per website that was known by the front desk but not enforced. Walls were paper thin. Bed sheets were not quality, thus was sticking to the rubber bed mattress pad. Went to the front desk in the morning but sign said, \"Out for Lunch, be back shortly.\" returned an hour or two later and same. 2nd night moved to new room, Cleanliness was not good, same issue with bed sheets/sticky, and gap between door & door frame let noise & light in. While in a nice location to downtown/beach, don't be fooled by the exterior photos of this hotel!

One very long hair in shower. Pillow was left lying on the bed. Television was on when I entered room. Needs to be somebody checking the cleaners after they have finished. Hotel needs to launder sheets properly or invest in steampress to iron sheets and pillow cases. For over $100 a night I expect pressed sheets and pillow cases. Sheets and pillow cases did not smell fresh. Musty smell in room. I suggest air freshener at the very least. Air conditioner extremely loud and next to bed. I turned off A/C to get a good night's rest. Nice tile floor. However, tile is a little weird for bedroom. Should be carpet or wood. There was a kitchen area but it was not a kitchen. No stove, no coffee maker, no utensils or dinnerware. At the very least invest in a coffee maker. Most guests expect a coffee maker. Plaster missing from areas on walls. Some areas could be painted. On plus side, receptionist was very nice. She recommended one restaurant which turned out to be good but not great. Gardens outside are nice. Place could be so much better with a little effort and some expenditure.

Room was filthy and dirty. It smell like cigarettes, there was no hand soap. Bed was almost broken sheets looked dirty, lights were not working, windows curtains were on the way of the AC. We ended up leaving the place with in the first 15 minutes. Not recommended.

The staff and workers at oceana are absolutely terrific and are all good people. The property is amazing, and i extremely like the remodels of the rooms. Every one here is sweet and kind, and i highly recommended the hotel to anyone new to the area!

We arrived around 10pm, and after checking in, we walk to our room to find our door WIDE OPEN. Looking into a dark (hopefully empty) hotel room as two female travelers was like a thing of nightmares. So we went back to the person who checked us in, and instead of getting us a new room or offering anything to remedy the situation, he said, “The rooms have to be cleaned and inspected before check in, I guess I just forgot to close the door on the way out”. If you need a cheap stay, that’s about all this place is, it’s a roof over your head and a toilet.

Do NOT stay here

I had one of the worst hotel experiences here. The room was dirty from the moment I walked in. The floor hadn’t been swept and there was hair all over the tub. Even though it was listed as non-smoking, the furniture was covered in cigarette burn marks. Half of the electrical outlets didn’t work. I booked a queen bed but was given a full instead. The room smelled terrible and to even check in, I waited over 30 minutes for the front desk clerk, who finally showed up looking like he didn’t want to be there at all. The parking lot was just as bad, with an overflowing dumpster that smelled awful.

Overall, this place was run down, unclean, and poorly managed. Between the false advertising, the condition of the room, and the lack of service, I would never stay here again and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

I didn’t stay, once I got there, I knew I didn't feel comfortable staying here. I cancelled and decided to go home instead.

OCEANEA BOUTIQUE. Didn’t expect a get a 4 or 5. Rating but certainly expected it to be cozy and clean which it was not. The bed frame to our queen sized bed stuck out to the point of being quite dangerous. We hurt ourselves quite a few times. There was no closet to hang our clothes. The room was non-smoking but between the decorative holes on the mat and on entrance to our room were cigarette butts. Needless to say, the Mat was less than clean.
One bedside light did not work.

BATHROOM: there was an old dirty looking rug by the shower WET, so we moved it away from outside of the shower. We awakened this morning to a huge puddle where the rug had been - definitely a leakage problem!
Also, we had to step over little rivulets in front of the walkway to get to our room 111 in the back.

Brooms buckets and all sorts of unpleasant things greeted us on the way to our room.

POSITIVES:
Nice hot water for a shower
The front had some nice welcoming flowers in bloom.
The employee who checked us in was very nice.
It was a convenient walk to the Main Street where we had our breakfast.

I WOULD NOT recommend this BOUTIQUE to a friend.

We were obligated to stay there for 2 nights we had paid for th 15 and 16 August. The truth is we hastened our departure from the hotel on Sunday morning because it wasn’t a pleasant experience for us. NOT A REFER TO Experience at all.

AVOID

Terrible rude staff that weren’t helpful in the slightest and actually aggressively rude … I’d rather sleep behind a dumpster than stay there.

The room did not appear to be cleaned well. There was hair in the sink and shower and dirt on the floor.

Unacceptable worst place ever!

If there was a zero star hotel, this is it. They downgraded my room, so I got no kitchen. There was no tv. When I informed the manager the tv wasn’t working, he brought over several other broken tvs to replace it. The entire stay was horrid and the room smelled. I have pretty low standards and this place was unacceptable even for me.
