Hmm... Montage is booked that weekend already. Anyone have any recommendations on places to stay up there? There's the Surf and Sand, but it isn't air conditioned and they say it's a bit dated... no likey.
eslai - depends on how much you want to pay. I would look around Dana Point or San Clemente (my fair city) where the rates tend to be lower. There's a County Inn by the 5 Freeway at Pico in San Clemente that's pretty good. There are also a couple of places across from San Clemente Pier (The Sea Horse is one) but I don't know anything about them.
