This spot is incredible. On the beach, private boutique villas. Very well maintained, everything is clean and updated. The rooms all face ocean with individual patios. They have a big private grassy area which includes dining tables, loungers, and large fire pit for gathering at night. My 6 year old enjoyed the ocean front access. We spent time swimming in the ocean with quick access back and forth to our villa. The San Clemente pier with dining of sorts is easy walking distance. Restaurant, pizzeria, coffee, gelato, and free trolley are all right there in vicinity. The trolley goes all over San Clemente. Basically did not have to move our car from the beachcomber parking area from time checked in to checkout. There is a Colombian restaurant near a trolley stop, food there was outstanding. Check in and checkout was easy and personable. We will definitely go back next summer. read more

I am a longtime fan and customer of The Beachcomber Inn and have stayed here for many years prior to the big renovations when the rooms were very rustic, and after the renovations. My love of San Clemente goes back decades. Well, a couple of days ago, 10/5/21, I was on the phone with a woman (was on duty at 12:15 on 10/5/21) in the front office at The Beachcomber. I was calling to see if the tragic oil spill in Huntington Beach that occurred 10/1/21 had reached San Clemente yet. Nearby Dana Point Harbor had closed earlier in the day on 10/5/21. I have reservations for 3 rooms that start this Sunday 10/10/21, which I made a year in advance in October of 2020. I am a loyal customer and have sang The Beachcomber's praises to friends that have become regular customers. I honestly feel protective of this place, and that's why I'm writing this review. Something needs to be done. I called to discuss the potential to cancel the reservation should the beach be closed due to toxicity and health concerns for the public. My confirmation email from Beachcomber dated October 11, 2020 (last year) indicates there is a 72 hour cancellation requirement for stays of 1-3 days. So, I say in passing to the woman, "Well, I hope the beach isn't forced to be closed. I'll make sure to call by 10/7/21 to meet the 72 hour requirement early." Her reply was, "We have a new cancellation police that went into effect Jan 1, 2021 so reservations must be cancelled within 2 weeks prior to your stay." My reply to her was, "I have my copy of a written agreement entered in to by myself and Beachcomber that allows a 72 hour cancellation. I'm sure the courts would say the written agreement is valid and binding should it come to that. The fact that you say you changed your policy wouldn't stand up when this agreement was entered into by both parties. You can't change what was already agreed to, especially with no communication. Do you have proof that you advised me of this?" It got worse from there. She decided to use the often-used, but irrelevant tactic of simply repeating that they changed the policy over and over, "even on our website." And she also used the insulting customer service tactic of asking me a question then talking over what I was saying. I called her on all of this a number of times, but she kept doing it. Then I said, "You're probably going to start apologizing for my feelings any second now." I didn't have to wait too long. Within 30 seconds she said, "I'm sorry you feel that way," which is not an apology but rather, an insult. This made me laugh out loud at her response and I said, "Oh my gosh. I just predicted and said you would apologize for my feelings and you just did that. Another really bad customer service tactic." After all this, it looks like the beach is going to remain open so we'll go on Sunday. I didn't even have to cancel and look what happened. I felt like I needed to complete this review because I see that another customer in June 2021 got treated the same after she made a reservation a year in advance (prior to the 1/1/21 policy change) and needed to cancel because her sister had Covid. This time, they took her money and refuse to refund it. She had to cancel for a legitimate reason and they treated her like that. Another long-term customer being horribly treated. I told the woman on the phone that the phone call was horrendous and I'd never been talked to like that by anyone at a hotel where I was going to stay, AND have already made reservations for NEXT year. Here's the thing: The Beachcomber's 13 cottages pull in anywhere from $215 to $500 per night. Each room generates between $1505 - $3500 for 7 days x 13 cottages = $19,565 - $45,500 PER WEEK. This comes out to $1,020,175 to $2,372,500 per year. AND if it's true that the property has been owned by a family since 1947 you can bet the property is paid off and this is all profit after paying overhead. My point: Whether they care about the customer is absolutely suspect. I can tell you from first-hand knowledge that they don't care as much as they used to. Everyone that tries knows how hard it is to get a reservation. There will be plenty of unsuspecting customers waiting in line to snatch up a room. Perhaps they've chosen money over the customer. Sadly, it looks like their response to the pandemic we've all suffered through is to take out their "we need more money" vengeance in the worst possible way: on loyal customers. Shame on them. I wonder if the owner of the property knows they refused to refund that customer's money. Whoever the owner of the property is, or the property management company's legal counsel is needs to be made aware of this incident and the ongoing treatment being unleashed by the office staff. This is absolutely ridiculous for anyone to be subjected to these kinds of interactions. I'm considering cancelling my reservation for next year. They undoubtedly won't care. read more

Paradise!! Best little secret in San Clemente! Quiet and cozy. The staff is superb with perfect customer service ! We will come back again and again! read more

I've lived in Southern California for a long time and seen a lot of beach views. I'm going to go ahead and say this is arguably the best ocean/pier/beach view in So Cal. Every room has an awesome view. The beach is within walking distance and the pier is right next door. You have a great, large grassy area to lounge on all the private chairs and cabanas. At night there is always a fire pit going with friendly company. They also have BBQ available on the property to cook up some steaks with the ocean in the background. The managers are super nice and did everything possible to make my stay extremely enjoyable. Jimmy was super accommodating and very friendly. Even took time out to hang with the guests by the fire! If you're looking for a cozy, hidden gem than look no further. This place is San Clemente's best kept secret. The history of this place and the atmosphere can't be reproduced. read more

Beachcomber 2.0 is a HUGE improvement! We have come here every year for ten years so clearly my family loves this place! We were here twice this summer for a total of five nights and this was our best stay yet. The Beachcomber has been completely cleaned up and remodeled. All the grubbiness we put up with for the views all these years is gone! There are new managers who have done a great job bringing this property up to the standards it should have. Major upgrades to the units are numerous: stone tile floors (funky carpet is gone!), King beds w/beautiful linens, stylish new furniture in pretty blues and greens that blend with the ocean location, window shades & valances etc. Nice Adirondack chairs have replaced the lucite ones on the porches. And there are two high-end Weber gas grills on a natural gas line, for guests to use. They are clean and work great. Grill some dinner and watch the sunset. All in all, the accommodations are beautiful, comfortable and clean. When we left, we booked our 2015 stay and look forward to coming back more than ever. read more

There is literally no comparison for the view this motel has. You are on the beach, steps away from the pier and with absolutely nothing obstructing your view of the ocean. The rooms were nice--allegedly they used to be pretty crummy but the new managers have replaced the beds, bedding, chairs, so everything is brand new. These new managers are also super nice and helpful, willing to go out of their way to make your stay more comfortable. Each room has a kitchenette, so it would be a great place for families. There's also easy access to a variety of bars and restaurants--while I didn't make it into the downtown area there are quite a few just steps away. One comment: there is a train track that runs below the motel. It is what it is, it didn't affect my sleep, but I can imagine that if you're a super light sleeper this might be a bit of a downside. Overall, a very nice place with very reasonable rates for the location. Definitely check it out! read more

Rooms and view worth 5 stars! Stunning beautiful view! Recently renovated rooms are SUCH an upgrade from their former state (which honestly were so dated). WOW! This Spanish style, quaint establishment is a San Clemente landmark, with it's famed view of the pier and beautiful bluff overlooking the ocean. But now with new modern, beach cottage inspired furnishing, the stay experience is elevated ten-fold. The bed was very comfortable and with a full kitchen (including glass stemware) we were tempted to stay much longer than we could. I grew up in San Clemente and I've never seen the pier/ocean look as beautiful as it did from the Beach Comber bluffs - it's an amazing thing to feel like you're on exotic getaway in a city you've known for years. (the long version - why I didn't give 5 stars) My only complaint would be an awkward and slightly sour departing experience with the front desk woman. The situation was this: we were a group of friends in our late 20's + one 7 month old baby occupying two rooms for a reunion since we'd all moved away. We paid extra person charges for the rooms (with a pull out sofa we comfortable fit 4 people per room) The hotel provided a bran new looking pack-n-play for the baby which was great. We were out most of the evening for dinner and drinks. The next morning we asked for a late check out (12 instead of 11) because the view was so gorgeous we just wanted to enjoy it a bit longer and to have more time to pack up. The woman at the front desk said due to a need to clean the rooms she could only allow a late check out for the room with the baby. I said "That's reasonable, I understand" So we cleaned up our one room on time, washing our stemware, throwing trash away, making the beds etc. We all got take out from the Beach Comber Cafe and sat on the bluff of the hotel at a large picnic table admiring the view. When 12:20 rolled around we had cleaned and vacated both rooms and were just sitting at the picnic table with the baby, finishing eating just enjoying the company of old friends. The front desk woman came up to our group and said "Ya know it's after 12 and we gave you the late check out so you guys need to vacate the property" We politely responded, since we all needed to get on the road anyway. But I was struck by how rude it seemed that we had gone from guests to loiters in such a short amount of time. There were almost no other people on the grounds, we were not being disruptive or taking up space needed by new guests. It just caused us to leave on a sour note, feeling like vagrants asked to "vacate the premises". I can't help but think that if we were a couple of retirees rather than a group of 20's somethings it would have been addressed differently. read more

Beachcomber Inn - Kids loved it - Hotels Near Me - San Clemente, California

The view and location is better than any of the surrounding hotels! We even woke up early on our vacation to soak up more of the gorgeous view and a very close walk to the pier and beach- right down the sidewalk. We had dinner on their BBQ outside and made breakfast in our kitchenette the morning after. AMAZING view. Do not have any expectations for the room, but loved how antique the hotel was with the windows and door handles. Even my teenage son was impressed enough to describe the view as "breathtaking". I couldn't get enough of this place, loved the grass outside of our front porch, and listening to the waves ALL night long. The waves are easy to see from the front porch that every room has. read more

Best place to stay in San Clemente. It is now a yearly tradition for myself and my friends and family.

I have stayed here multiple times a year for the past couple of years. They have new Management who are 5 star PLUS worthy!!! Jimmy and his wife Carly go out of their way for you. They have been doing some amazing renovations to the place. New beds, new fixtures in the bathroom, New tile floors, fresh paint, new couches in the rooms. You honestly feel like youre living in the life of luxury. Jimmy and his wife have come out to check on me and see how I am doing during my stay which is always nice. And they actually have stayed and talked just about things going on in life in general. They honestly make me feel like were good friends and not just guests. Oh and they have free WIFI here as well now!!! You cant beat BEACHCOMBERS!!! plain and simple read more

Beachcomber Inn - The view from my room 11/14/13 - Hotels Near Me - San Clemente, California

Love, love, love this place!! I've enjoyed a romantic weekend there; a fun-filled girlfriend trip there; and a relaxing, enjoyable family retreat there. Each experience different and each a special memory I'll always cherish. I've had issues with the reservations (my problem, not theirs) and they've always worked with me to reschedule or add a room when needed. The grounds are immaculate, the view is stunning and the rooms are charming! It's old-school but with quality and comfort. Of course there is a lot to do in the daytime but I also look forward to sitting by the fire ring at night. Its a very special experience! I can't wait to book my next visit! read more

Location. Comfort. Cleanliness. Great caretakers. Stay away. We want it all to ourselves. This older hotel has been refurbished recently. It offers single rooms with kitchenette or larger with extra bedroom for kids or another couple. We shared unit 1 with friends for 2 nights and had a great time strolling the streets and taking in the matchless view of the ocean and pier. You can walk (uphill) into town and be confident of burning off a few calories. We recommend South of Nick's and Selma's, both an easy walk if you are able. The town is great for thrifting also. Trains run right below the hotel so you will hear them at night. But the waves will lull you right back to sleep. This is the perfect place for the laid back and low maintenance traveller. Don't plague these nice people if you are neither. read more

Out of three different hotels I stayed, Beachcomber was the ultimate best place to stay at being closest to the San Clemente Pier. Excellent price too which normally cost a lot more for this kind of view! You get the perfect million dollar view, direct beach access, restaurants across the street, and best of all private property access to simply enjoy picnic, tan, and/or have kids, family or friends enjoy the outdoors on the lawn. Great to know the rooms are very clean, spacious, smoke and pet free. I believe there are 12 seclusive rooms all with huge windows to see the ocean view right from your bed. All rooms have patios right outside the door which is an extra plus. It has always been my dream to sleep with the windows open day and night and hear the waves when you first wake up in the morning. Something relaxing, soothing and therapeutic when you listen to the syncronization of waves cycle within a period of time. Rooms have a kitchen, microwave, gas stove and large refrigerator. Inside the cabinets you can find adequate cups, plates, utensils etc...for a family of 4 at least. Television all have HD cable. COX? No AC control but the ceiling light fan does its job by keeping the room cool with the windows front and back open with a little help from the breeze overnight. Last but not least, funny thing is sometimes you walk towards your room, you can see inside everyone else's room. And when you are in your room eating or minding your own business, you see your neighbors walk pass waving at you, sometimes you feel like a zoo animal. Lol I thought that was pretty interesting but that's why you can pull down your shades! Linda who answered my call and placed my reservation was very nice, clear, sincere and welcoming. Also John was very nice to walk me into my room and explain to me what time the fire pit starts and ends, if I need help when the landlord is not here and who/how to contact. This place will definitely be my favorite spot to book if I were to visit San Clemente again. This is a great place for a romantic getaway and stay! Very convenient and scenic! Can I just live and wake up to this forever? Sure beats San Francisco living!! read more

Jimmy and family are awesome hosts. The grounds and facility are perfect for staying at beach. We loved BBQing on the bluff and sitting fireside meeting other guests while watching the sun set over the pier. Seriously, it's the best way to experience San Clemente. I'm jealous of housekeeping - they get to work there! Lol. Good people, very well kept grounds, bay windows on every room, and the best vibe to just relax. Thank you Beachcomber! read more

This place is 5 stars for a reason. Perfect location, great views and amazing staff. Jimmy the manager made sure we got exactly what I wanted and that we were as comfortable as possible. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking to get away for the weekend and hang out by the water to catch amazing sunsets by a gas fire pit or anyone looking for a longer term vacation stay. Hands down best low key beach spot I have ever stayed at! read more

I was having lunch in San Clemente and saw this beautiful little Spanish style inn on the cliffs south of the pier. They were in the midst of some painting and planting so there were rooms that were open and airing out. Each room had a slightly different color scheme. All very beachy and tastefully done. There were 6 rooms on each side of the office which is in the center and ALL of them have an amazing view of the ocean. They each have a huge plate glass window in front a charming front porch with adirondack chairs and tables for 2. I couldn't stop thinking about it and with my husbands birthday coming up I called and spoke to Linda in the office. She was so nice and worked with me to find the perfect amount of days, I wanted 3 but at that time she only had 2 so I booked and she called me back when she got a change and added that 3rd night for us. Yay!!! I was so excited at check in (Linda probably wonders if I'm always in cheerleader mode no doubt) as they have parking on site (rare at any beach) and couldn't wait to see what room we were to be assigned. It was lucky number 7 they call that the south side. The cleanliness of the room is incomparable. It was a plush queen size bed that you can see from the window with 2 nightstands and a nice little table I call it my 5 o'clock table. Perfect for that late afternoon sun cocktail. Or that morning cup of coffee. Across from the bed is a nice couch that folds out, as well as a full kitchen with coffee even supplied, if you want to get more creative coffees there is a great coffee shop walking distance 5 minutes across the street, next to the liquor store, ice cream shop, and pizza place as well as a nice restaurant. The bathroom has a nice shower and is decorated in the theme of the room. The front porch is perfect for reading a book. We have already been back 3 times helped by Carly and Linda again, both are so gracious as if you're good friends and visiting them in their own home. We have 2 more booked this year, so far. Perfect for a girls getaway, romantic cozy couple of days even a week at the beach its very affordable as beach rentals go. Its family run and feels very welcoming. At nighttime they light an outdoor fire pit that is surrounded by plenty of seating for all the inns guests. There are cozy little places laid out all over the grass that sits between you and the ocean, palapas, lounge chairs, bbq's if your so inclined. We never even used our car while there. We ate at the Fisherman Restaurant on the pier (outstanding food, but that's another review). You can take a long walk on the boardwalk or just sit and wave at the commuter train as it comes by. "Hey look how much fun we are having here!" Anyway, this is one of my favorite places to be and I hope that there is still availability when I want it after raving so much. LOL! Just had to share. See you soon. read more

Fun spot. Funky (aesthetic not smell) litte place right above the beach has spacious rooms, adirondack chairs right in front, fall asleep to the sound of the surf and the trains (just far enough away) and wakeup right near the San Clemente Pier. Easy half mile walk to the little village are with lots of window shopping and dining options. I think H and I will be back sans kids (not much for them to do). A relaxing getaway only a bit more than an hour from Pt Loma. read more

Loved this place. Made a reservation the day before we got there due to unexpected changes in our vacation. Called first to see if they had cable and specifically TNT since our Trailblazers were going to be on tv for the NBA playoffs. The man that answered was helpful and a basketball fan and assured us we could watch the game. Yay. Was super impressed with the room; it was so cute and the perfect size for us (my husband and I and our toddler). It was the last one in the row of buildings and closest to the ocean. The bed was very comfortable, furnishings pretty and functional. Appreciated the kitchenette and the dishes being provided. The fire pit was awesome, especially to watch the sunset. My only concern was the cliff drop off to the train tracks. No fencing which is great for the view but not so much for a toddler. However there was plenty of room for him to run around not near the edge. Also, my toddler loved the trains going by. It was very easy to access the beach and the adorable and tasty restaurants and cafes nearby. We had take out for dinner and ate breakfast at a crepe place. It was all so beautiful and relaxing which we really needed at that point of our trip. Wished we could have spent more than 1 night there. read more

Location! Location!! It is quite obvious that this place is known for it's views of San Clemente beach and friendly staff. But it is also quite close to some nice restaurants and cafes. Rooms themselves are not high end, but you're really paying the price for the views, because let's face it, who wants to spend all their time cooped up in a hotel room when you have a beach right outside your doorstep! :D At night we ended up setting up our own little bonfire outside our room, cooking marshmallows!! Was an awesome night, and I would recommend to everyone that loves the beach. read more

Amazing stay. Rooms are small, with a small kitchen and bathroom, but the bed is comfortable and the view is unbeatable. I will definitely return. The chairs on the porch make a great place to sit and watch the waves, as well as the scattered chairs around the lawn facing the beach. You're close to everything. Highly recommend read more

We were looking for a one day vacation spot away from the craziness of LA and we found it at this jewel sitting on a cliff overlooking the beach, and pier and wild surf of San Clemente. 12 Units, 6 studios and 6 bedrooms with kitchens, baths and walk in closets with an older tyme charm Jimmy and Carlie are the young married couple that manage the place. Friendly and helpful for first time visitors to San Clemente. Our car would not start the day we were leaving and Jimmy insisted on going into town to buy jumper cables to get us going..He's our hero! I HIGHLY recommend the place to couples who need a romantic get away.They are booked pretty solid so call in advance. read more

I loved it here! If there are more stars to give, i would rate this place with 10stars!!!!!! Gas grills are available to cook at night and the place was so clean.

I REFUSE to stay anywhere else when I go to San Clemente. So far I have been here three times and it's like a home away from home. The accommodations are any beach lovers dream come true. The kitchen is stocked up with all the accoutrements you need to prepare a meal, the ocean view is unbeatable and the owners/staff are ridiculously friendly. Bring sunscreen and some groceries and youre good to go. Can't wait to go back. read more

I did not stay here, but I would like to share my experience. We took a day trip to San Clemente with our dogs and got caught in the rain. One of the dogs started to shiver. I noticed the hotel and went in to ask for a towel. I offered to pay for it. The front desk assistant, Marjan, said that there was no need. I offered to pay again and she said no. I am so grateful to her for helping us out and being so gracious. Next time we come back for an overnight trip, we will stay here. read more

WOW!! I almost hate to give away this little secret. This is one of my favorite places I have ever stayed. It is so quant, clean and charming. My favorite is the spectacular view and listening to the sounds of the waves. We have tried to stay here for years, but just didn't make it. I wish I could live in this little piece of heaven on the California coast. My daughter-in-laws mother and my dear friend died two days before our arrival and I swear I saw her angel wings in the sky above us. We said we would make it to the beach. I believe you did. I love you! read more

A beautiful hotel located on a bluff overlooking the beach and pier. The view is unbeatable and each room comes with a huge window so you can enjoy it from the inside if required. There's also a large, green lawn dotted with lawn chairs, thatched roof umbrellas, and a gas fire pit. It's the perfect place to enjoy a sunset. The room my wife and I stayed in was cozy if a bit small, but it did include a little kitchen with an oven, microwave, and refrigerator. The hotel is also located within walking distance of the ocean, pier, several beach-side restaurants, and an Amtrak stop. read more

Beachcomber Inn - View from Beachcomber room patio - Hotels Near Me - San Clemente, California

You will not find a better view in Southern California. I have stayed at several high end hotels and have never had a view as great as what you'll find here. You are walking distance to pier, local restaurants, and several good surf spots. You can also sit or play on the green lawn in front of your room and watch the waves, surfers, and train below. Our kids loved running around on the lawn and watching the trains. (The trains never woke us or our sleeping baby.) Great place to stay for a couples or family retreat. You feel like you are at a bed and breakfast or staying with family. Each bungalow is beautifully decorated. I was nervous when I learned there was no A/C but the overhead fan and ocean breezes keep you cool. You can cook your own food in the full kitchen or outside grills and enjoy it on the porch or picnic table. There's a reason this hidden gem is always booked with return guests. read more

This hotel seemed like the perfect spot for my sister and I to spend one night away during our busy work schedules. We were tired after we filled out the paperwork, so we made a drink, went out to the front porch. The whole place smelled like weed, everywhere we walked, so we didn't think it was a big deal to light a cigarette outside on the grounds (mind you it was outside on a windy beach bluff). But one of the 4 stoners next door scolded us, so we apologized and immediately put it out. We both thought it was ironic that they'd be offended by that when we weren't offended by their weed smell --but we were nice, and we're trying to enjoy ourselves, so we did the right thing and put the cigarette out, and never did it again. The same hotel receptionist who we thought was nice toe night we came, called us the next day and said we were rattled on by the other guests (apparently friends of hers), and in an angry tone said she had charged out credit card $250 for breaking the rules. Well, if you could have witnessed the whole thing, you would have thought it was shameful to do that to a couple of old gals, who were just trying to enjoy one night away from the grind. The staffer was rude, and wanted to let us know that she had the power to do it, and scolded us like we were a couple of hooligans. It was pretty shameful of her to react that way, and whether you feel she had the right because you think lighting a cigarette on a Saturday night, outside, on a windy beach is such a sin, she was awful to us, and I am pretty sure she'd nail you for some minuscule crime too, because she has a power complex. God forbid a couple of sisters light a cigarette outside on a Saturday night, when the whole place smelled like Woodstock circa 1970 anyway. She's there all the time, so if you decide to go anyway, give her a hug from us, because she's obviously a sad, lonely girl, who's mother never breast fed her, poor thing. read more

We're frequent visitors of San Clemente and have always wanted to stay at the Beachcomber Inn. Fortunately, we were able to sneak in reservations from another's cancellation - it was my birthday week and a much-needed R&R getaway for us. From Joey's friendly welcome as we checked in, we entered the gates and immediately noticed that the grounds were immaculate; landscaped beautifully and very welcoming. Upon entering our room, the first great thing we notice is the large window and our view! The room had all that was needed, the kitchen was well stocked with essentials, it was clean and having our own front porch to sit and enjoy our morning coffee... it was exceptional! Best sunset views in all of Southern Cal! The staff was friendly & accommodating staff; making sure we had all that we needed. Thank you Beachcomber Inn ~ we can't wait to return! read more

The Beachcomber is a Staple to San Clemente. No other motel or hotel can offer what they can. First off, they have the one and only motel on the beach side of the street...which means NO OBSTRUCTIVE VIEWS! Not only that, but they only have 12 rooms, which means you each room has a view. Next, this place literally has a park sized yard. You could play a full person football game or soccer game while watching the sunset dip into the ocean. You cant beat it! Last, John and Karen as well as the rest of the family will bend over backwards to make your stay enjoyable. P.S. - This place is untouchable on the Fourth of July, live music, good food and company, and the best seat in San Clemente for fireworks! read more

The place is okay, but pricey for what it offers. You need to be okay with the pot smoking, as the smell of it was all over the property. The staff rent to their friends, and you might end up with a houseful of people in the room next door, smoking pot and partying. We arrived late and were weary from a long drive, but very happy to have found what looked like a cute place to stay. We stepped outside to have a cigarette. The wind was heavy and was blowing every direction. The party house next door came out within seconds and complained, so we moved far out into the lawn. The next day, we had a $250 charge on our credit card for smoking too near the building. We contested it, asked them to reverse it, explained the situation, and they refused. So, for about 20 seconds of smoking outside too near the building, we were fined $250. Cannot leave anything but a poor review for such treatment. read more
