We are not having a hotel block, but there are a large number of hotels available within a 10-minute driving distance. Below are a few recommendations for hotels near the venue: Most Convenient Casablanca Inn - Located across the street from the wedding venue this is the most convenient. It is a good affordable option that offers complimentary breakfast, a fitness facility, pool and free parking. It is also pet-friendly and has ADA accessible rooms. This option is great for those who don't want to drive. By The Beach Sea Horse Resort - Located by the San Clemente Pier, the hotel is located a 5-minute drive from the wedding venue. Offers suites with full kitchens that would work well for families and is pet friendly. This hotel is not very accessible for those with physical disabilities as entering the lobby requires going up stairs El Caminante Bar & Bungalow - A luxury spanish-style hotel located along the beach by San Juan Capistrano. This hotel is a 6-minute drive to the wedding venue. Ideal for adults and couples wanting a nice weekend getaway
