The hotel has a beautiful exterior, entrance and lobby, but when I reached my room it was a huge letdown. Tiny room with an exterior door with a gap of 1+ inch at the bottom--as many have--so great for noise containment. The desk is all scratched, mirrors streaked, cobweb in bathroom along with random toiletries (head & Shoulders shampoo?, and... More

I really enjoyed this old hotel. it has both charm and elegance oozing from it. I stayed here for a total of 4 nights. I had breakfast very morning there and was let down 3 out of 4 times by the staff. Can highly recommend the Omelette and french toast as it excellent. The continental is a joke and I... More

Our company held a 2 day meeting at the Claremont this past week and it was a tremendous experience!. The guest rooms/views were lovely, the cuisine was fabulous at each venue: Meritage/Paragon and catering. The meetings flowed perfectly as we had both large/small meetings taking place. Our management team raved about the meeting and all that accompanied the 2 day... More

I had to double check to see if she was my sister, since the same thing happened to us the same weekend! It was a big splurge for us so we were excited. Long line to check in and unfriendly staff. Still hopeful...but the room had someone else's trash and closet full of clothes, and we were also told it... More

This was our second stay in 5 months. Not only were we here on Mother's Day weekend, we arrived on Prom night. Amazing.......once we left the lobby, we heard nothing more from Prom night. As always, our room was immaculate, comfortable, and well decorated. Visited the gift shop on Sat. Nite and Sunday morning......the ladies in the shop get five... More

An old hotel resting on it's laurels. A disappointing stay, beginning with a long check in line and unfriendly staff. The room was dirty and had somebody elses clothes in the closet - a staff member simply said they would come and pick up the clothes. That night the lobby and every nook and cranny of the hotel was filled... More

I live in Northern California and have never stayed at the Claremont. I had a family function in Piedmont so this hotel is extremely convenient. I am also a University of California (Cal) Alumni and they offer a discounted rate to Cal Alumni members, because Cal does so much business there. In fact, there is a Cal Alumni office in... More

I recently went to the Claremont for a romantic get away. Even though I only lie 1 hour away it was like another world. SF is most beautiful when viewed from Berkeley. There are view of the Golden Gate bridge and the Bay Bridge. I think it's a shame to stay here and not enjoy the room and the view.... More

We stayed 2 nights on a AAA half-price deal that included parking, club, and spa fees, plus a moderate food/drink credit. The room was spacious, especially since we could stow our bags in the walk-in closet, and we had a great view of the SF skyline and fog movement. Front desk and all other encounters with staff were gracious and... More
