Hi June and Aaron, thank you so much for choosing Always Inn San Clemente Bed & Breakfast as a "whole inn" booking for your family's stay for your aunt's 90th birthday. It was a sincere pleasure to host you both, Diana, David and Angel, and I look forward to hosting you all again! I miss Charlee already! What a cutie! And so well behaved for a six month old pup! Hope your sister and family can visit at "Puttin' on the Glitz" first weekend in December so I can pick David's brain about Chinese cooking!

Best Bed and Breakfast in San Clemente
We loved our stay at the Always Inn B & B. It was exactly as it is, a bed and breakfast. Very intimate and cozy. Felt like our second home. The location is also amazing and within walking distance to everything. We will definitely be returning here for our next stay in San Clemente.

Great bed and breakfast
Freda was an amazing host. I’ve never stayed at a place so warm and welcoming. We weren’t expecting a gourmet breakfast but that’s what we received. The room was nice and cozy and we enjoyed the connecting patio. If you want to know where to go, eat, hang out etc Freda’s suggestions were all a hit. If you have a four legged one, bring him/her along. Freda just might have a special treat for them! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!! Thao & Val

Hi Val and Thao, thank you so much for the wonderful review of Always Inn San Clemente Bed & Breakfast! It was such fun to spoil Francesco; he is such a beautiful dog and so loving! I sent you "Freda's favorite things to see and do in South Orange County" which includes all the special events during the year, so plan ahead and stay longer next time! Hope you enjoyed the chili. I made it medium heat because a number of my friends can't have spicy food. Hugs, Freda

Freda, the property owner and host could not do enough for us! She even went out of her way and picked us up in Anaheim. It was incredibly kind, she had car trouble that day and asked her friend to help get us. We really appreciated it. We were well fed, and very well informed about San Clemente and what to do. We spent a great 4 days there. Thanks to Freda!

Freda’s place
Freda! She is the intangible that makes Always Inn work. Her check-in process allows for last minute changes. While our room was ready when promised, we wanted to get out of our car earlier. She made it doable. The breakfast was outstanding! When we return, we will stop at Trader Joe’s first. $20 for cheese and crackers at the local store. Too much.

Wonderful home stay…..
It’s wonderful home away from home experience! The host welcomed us, gave a tour of the house and cooked wonderful breakfast each morning. She also gave us very helpful suggestions/recommendations to do around San Clemente. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable and I enjoyed the artwork on the wall especially. We enjoyed staying at the B&B and definitely will stay again!

We had a delightful stay at the Allways Inn in San Clemente CA. The B&B exceeded our expectations. The home is lovely and inviting with many outdoor patio areas to gather and enjoy the sea breezes. Freda was a gracious hostess before, during and after our stay. Our room accommodations were as expected and the bed was so cozy and comfortable! The gourmet breakfast was delicious. Lots of little extras to enjoy. The location could not have been better with Del Mar avenue and shops only steps away. It was a memorable stay and weekend

A Relaxing Getaway
We stayed with Freda at the Always Inn for three nights over my wife's Spring Break. Upon arrival, we found that the place looks just as nice as the photos! This is an intimate setting with not many rooms--it does not feel busy or crowded. Still, we enjoyed meeting the other guests--although it's not required, we enjoyed chatting over leisurely and scrumptious breakfasts before setting out for the day. Freda provides a homelike environment and attends to every detail (including snacks and drinks available when desired). The location is great, a quiet side street, with access to restaurants and shopping a block away--on one day, we only got in our car to drive five minutes to the pier for dinner at sunset. We didn't have to worry about a thing--which was just the break that we needed!

Great Location...disappointing stay.
As a former resident of San Clemente, when I saw the location of the Always Inn San Clemente, I couldn't help but be ecstatic. It is in the heart of downtown San Clemente, and a close walk to the beach and many of my favorite restaurants. When I called to check in a few hours earlier, the owner Freda was kind and more than happy to have our room ready for us. When we arrived to check in Freda was not there but kindly messaged my husband and I to settle into our room. As we were walking in the housekeeper was walking out of our room and the toilet was running, yet there were no cleaning products in her hands. Its safe to assume she had just used our toilet in our already "ready" room. Not the best first impression. However we decided to be patient because the location was unbeatable. We stayed a total of five nights, and by the second night I wanted to leave. No doubt, Freda is very nice, however the facility is extremely unprofessional. There are a total of three rooms and you can hear everything, so there is little to no privacy. Additionally we ran out of toilet paper and there was none to be found and no workers to ask for any. Also, during our stay the house was being "DE cluttered." There was a lady helping the owner clean out rooms and throw away items that were no longer necessary. The main fridge was thawing out indoors for several days, with the food just sitting in front of it. This place all together was not clean, and very unprofessional.

I have never imagined that I would spend such a long days at the same B&B before I came here. But I feel like I am at my home during my stay here. The owner, Freda is such a nice and sweet lady. She kindly became my tour guide and took me to many attractions every day because I am a solo traveler and I cannot drive here. She is very familiar with local attractions, great restaurants and nice stores. Her cooking is just amazing. Each rooms are beautifully decorated with their own theme. She always makes effort to make every guests feel comfortable. I definitely recommend this B&B to everybody.

What a wonderful experience !!
Freida is the kindest, and the most accommodating person whom I have ever met at any hotel or B&B. She is like a everybody's mother or a sister. The rooms are decorated with lovely furniture and mirrors which is surrounded with beautiful shells. The breakfast which is created with her experience at south of France is wonderful!! There is a beautiful patio and yards which is full of pretty flowers, trees and lovely decorations. There are many nice stores, great restaurants and beautiful beaches are within walking distance. This is the best place for solo traveller or a couple who needs a peaceful and unforgettable experience.
