Pier View Studio by the Sea

Was such a cute place to stay in for the weekend! Has beautiful views of San Clemente pier and the ocean and offers a great balcony to sit and enjoy the view. The check in progress was smooth and easy. The room was clean and well kept and was all modern design. While being a studio room, it was very cozy and had everything we needed for the weekend. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would come back!

The directions for entry to the unit were incorrect and the response we were given initially was:"There’s good video tutorials online as well - just look up the brand of the lock." After travelling all day, with no power left in my cell, this response was not welcomed. The only entry to the unit was through the garage. Inside there were 4 large containers of overflowing garbage with a stench that turned your stomach. The stench would follow you inside the unit. The unit was clean, minimally furnished with lovely views of the ocean and pier. There was a nice newly renovated bathroom with a slow draining sink. Our biggest surprise were the continual trains. Being right across the street from the train stop, we were very aware of the 22 stops per day with whistles and horns starting at 5:00 AM and ending at midnight. This was definitely our fault for not checking out the area beforehand. The other concern we had was the lack of a working lock on the porch french doors which could be accessed by the porches in either side. We certainly enjoyed being walking distance to town and beach.
