“Nomads Hotel has a youthful, surf-culture vibe that extends from the lobby art to the thoughtfully designed rooms. I think its location in central San Clemente makes it perfect for enjoying both the beaches and the local nightlife. The free drink and the opportunity to grab 'surfer soul food' in the canteen certainly sweeten the deal.”
