We had a lovely stay at this hotel, enjoying the ocean view from our one-bedroom unit and the well-kept facilities. The rooms are spacious and come with everything you need for a comfortable stay, really making it feel like a home away from home. However, the location requires a bit of a walk to the beach, which could be a drawback for some. Overall, it’s excellent value for families looking for a cozy retreat.

The hotel is located right across the street from the beach, which was wonderful for morning coffee on the balcony. However, accessing the beach involves a bit of a walk and some stairs.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The location is fantastic, just steps from the beach, and the amenities are decent, especially the pool and hot tub. However, be mindful of the additional resort fee that doesn't seem justified for the services provided. Plus, the experience can vary significantly based on the room you get, particularly if you don't have an ocean view.

I stayed in a ground floor unit with a view over the noisy pool, which wasn't ideal. I wish I had been informed that I could request an ocean view ahead of time, as the back rooms were quite dark and dreary.

I had a wonderful stay at Capistrano Surfside Inn! The condo units were spacious and immaculate, offering breathtaking views of the ocean right from my balcony. The location was superb, just steps away from the beach and close to charming shops and restaurants. While I enjoyed my time outdoors biking and relaxing, I felt that service could use a bit more warmth and personal touch. Overall, it's great value for a beach vacation, especially considering the great amenities available.

I had a wonderful experience at Capistrano Surfside Inn. The condo units were clean, spacious, and well-equipped, making our beach vacation delightful. The location was fantastic, overlooking Doherty Beach, and provided easy access to local shops and restaurants. However, I believe the cleaning staff could improve attention to detail in certain areas, and the cancellation policy could use some flexibility. Overall, it was a great stay with some minor drawbacks.

I had a mixed experience at Capistrano Surfside Inn. The location is truly stunning, offering breathtaking sunsets and easy beach access. However, my room didn't provide the ocean view I was hoping for, which was a big letdown. The amenities fee felt misleading, especially since I didn't utilize most of the offers. I enjoyed my stay overall but was left disappointed by the lack of cleanliness and the return policy when plans changed unexpectedly.
