    Oasis in San Clemente

    April 21, 2013

    The Always Inn is a delightful B&B in the heart of San Clemente. Freda is a cheerful and generous hostess whose warmth and kindness are evident from the moment you walk in the door. It isn't until you sit down for breakfast that you realize that you are in for an amazing culinary experience. She easily accommodates dietary constraints (we are vegan) and whips up a new dish each morning to go with plenty of fresh fruit & pastries and great coffee. We booked at the last minute, so the room we had was lovely, but located on a main street, so there was street noise, but with ear plugs, we slept with no trouble. When we return, we will book one of the rooms away from the main street. We can't recommend Freda and this oasis highly enough!

    fantastic!

    October 28, 2012

    In my lifetime of traveling the world, I have never met a host that has made me feel as cared for as Freda. I just walked in off the street and she insisted that I sit down for a bowl of fresh berries and fruit, and a wonderful omelette, with the best homemade chorizo I've ever had! Freda loves people and puts her whole heart into making you feel at home. It just makes you happy being around Freda. Perfectly situated in the center of Del Mar, the heart of San Clemente, and about 5 minutes walk to the beach, her place is really sweet, Fantastic experience . . . Love you Freda! Xakan

    Awesome Vacation

    June 22, 2012

    My new husband and I spent the first couple of nights of our honeymoon here. We're in our 50s but Freda the owner made a big fuss over us as though we were young newlyweds. Her warmth and hospitality were wonderful. The room we stayed in was very homey and Freda kept it full of snacks for us. We had gotten the "strawberry special" (with chocolate covered strawberries, roses and champagne) and it was a great welcome to our room. The bouquet of roses was huge and beautiful. Freda cooked us great breakfasts every morning and took care of the fact that my husband had dairy allergies by making special food. She is a wonderful and personable individual and we look forward to being able to return in the future.

    A Bit Frumpy

    March 29, 2012

    There are many good things about this Inn: it is one street over from great restaurants; it is clean and well-maintained; the staff is very cordial and willing to please. While it's a stretch, you can walk to the beach. Still, for the price it's pretty humble and a bit frumpy. You almost expect to see a lava lamp in the bedroom. Breakfast is scrumptious and complete.

    Lovely, convenient place

    March 16, 2012

    My husband and I stayed here for a weekend anniversary trip. We stayed in the Ocean Dance room - a lovely room - and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The food for breakfast was great and we even stayed up late one night taking advantage of the game stash playing Parchessi and drinking wine one night. Made for a fun anniversary :-)

    Wonderful Location, Outstanding Service!

    December 02, 2011

    I recently stayed for 2 nights at the Always Inn Bed and Breakfast. I could not have asked for a better location- less than a block from the main street with all the cute shops and restaurants, and just a few blocks from the beautiful beach. The room was comfortable and the breakfasts were incredible! The owner and inn keepers made me feel extremely welcome and made sure I had everything I needed. I highly recommend this B and B!

    Great location and dog friendly

    September 25, 2011

    We stayed for one night in the "Palms" room - which was very cozy and comfortable. We brought our dog with us and he enjoyed his stay there too. Alma is very cool and makes a killer breakfast and treats as well (look for the brownies!).
