this was false advertising, not...

Liked: it was false advertisement this is advertising as a hotel but is an air bnb with the owner staying on the premises. this is just a room for rent at an over priced rate
Disliked: all of it the bed had a thick foam padding laid on top causing it to be a very uncomfortable sleep. and a rats are either in the walls or attic. we heard scratching in the walls at night

Liked: The breakfast was fantastic, obviously prepared by a trained chef. Only negative was I couldn’t eat it all because there were so many courses! No problem though, Freda provided disposable storage containers and I enjoyed the leftovers the following day!

Liked: Feda was wonderful and cooked a great breakfast. She was very accommodating and friendly and went out of her way to welcome us and our dog..even to the point of cooking up some organic hamburger as a treat for our dog.
Disliked: Parking is very tight, especially with a music festival that took place during our visit.

I’ll be back for sure.

Liked: The host Freda is welcoming, and she makes a great breakfast! The inside of the home is quirky. It provides an eclectic collection of art, various collectible items -with tags attached, funky furniture, fresh baked cookies, 20+hot sauces, hot water for tea, and comfortable bedrooms. I believe it has 3 guest rooms- ours had our own bathroom.
Disliked: when parking behind the house it looked a bit cluttered.

Liked: Location Location Location
Disliked: I’m going to keep this simple and to the point. If you enjoy checking in to a comfortable secure room and a clean establishment than do yourself a favor and book somewhere else. If you are the hippy type and don’t mind filth or just laziness than this is your place. If you are 50+ and value your life or valuables book somewhere else. She never cleans up anything. Don’t eat the breakfast… Laundry littering the hallway, broken beds,food left in freezer in room. Jewelry bag went missing and magically it was “found” in a trash can… If you really hate someone and plan on breaking up with them than this is your place.

Always Inn is an absolute...

Liked: Freda is a most wondrous hostess! She greeted us warmly and provided many helpful ideas and courtesies for our first-time stay in San Clemente. She's also a fabulous cook as each breakfast was a fantastic meal! The location was ideal for getting around, especially being just a block away from the free San Clemente Trolley; everything else was within walking distance. Yes, we would highly recommend Always Inn--we'll return as soon as we can arrange it!
Disliked: The city's incomprehensible start time (7:00 AM) of construction noise that impacted the entire neighborhood, not just Always Inn. Also, because of the ideal location of this B & B, sometimes traffic noise was often loud.
