Looked promising but nothing worked

Paid extra for the jacuzzi tub room and it didn't work. Tried to make the best of it and use the jacuzzi on property but that wasn't working either. Told the front desk and was just told sorry it should be working. Lastly tried to watch TV to end the night and the tv did not work either. Should have stayed elsewhere for the price.

Wonderful area, extremely walkable. Easy trip by Amtrak for a getaway. Deluxe room with ocean view was great. Property has a few issues which can only be described as a tad... odd. Front desk staff were mostly friendly, but none seemed to have very good customer service skills. Almost like they were never trained. The pool is hard to find because of poor signage. It's nice, but there's a huge dumpster like thing filled with old cushions. Again, not enough to ruin a trip but, strange, and makes you feel as if the property isn't being cared for. Finally, the shower (which clearly had been recently renovated), CREAKED so loudly, with every little move you made. And sometimes smelled funny. Obviously a construction flaw, but again... gives you a feeling nobody's really managing the property well. Probably wouldn't stay there again.

Good vibes, good location

Best part - the staff, and the air conditioning! Overall vibe is chill, friendly community! The location of the hotel is perfect for exploring San Clemente. Worst part - someone tried to steal my bike in the parking garage while my bike was locked in the bed of my truck. No fault to the hotel, but be mindful when storing anything down there! The rooms can use some upgrades - but overall it is a nice hotel and I will stay again if given the chance!

I didn’t like the hallway carpet to the rooms, it seemed dirty and hard to pull roller suitcases. Shower drain was clogged, issues with the safe.

We stayed at The Volare near San Clemente Beach, Ascend Hotel Collection for two nights and really enjoyed it. ✅ Location – the best part! The hotel is within walking distance (about 18 minutes) to the ocean, surrounded by many shops, cafés, and restaurants. Starbucks is right around the corner, the San Clemente Outlets are just one exit away, and it’s also very convenient to Camp Pendleton base. There’s even a free shuttle that takes you directly to the beach. ✅ Hotel & Room – everything was clean and comfortable. Our room had two queen beds and a nice bathroom. The hotel feels well kept, and even the room keys were fun and unique. ✅ Service – check-in at the front desk was quick and easy, and the staff was friendly. ⚠️ Only downside – there were no outlets or USB ports near the bed, so we had to charge our phones at the desk instead of the nightstand. It wasn’t a big issue, but it would be more convenient to have them by the bed. Overall, this hotel is a great choice for a short stay – perfect if you’re here to sleep, explore the town, walk to the ocean, and enjoy the local restaurants. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely return.

Great place if you like your mornings bright

Super clean. Comfortable bed. Front desk staff was not the friendliest. The blackout blinds do not close and it is super bright in the morning(they were installed that way). There was no ice in the entire building. All the ice machines were in repair at the same time

Very convenient location, where you can easily walk to tons of restaurants, bars and shops. A bit noisy, due to location to freeway. We had an issue with our room, and Daniel resolved our issue immediately. A professional who understands good the value of great service!
