Recently stayed at the Claremont due to the California Bar Association having their labor Law meeting there. The facility has lost their touch. While the building is great, the management's attention to detail is appalling. Internet service that timed out after five minutes. Nothing in the room to hook up my ipod. Flat panel tv with cable, but no HD?... more

Such a beautiful hotel, wonderful views and lousy management. I have stayed here several times when in Berkeley and each time there have been problems with staff/rooms. This past weekend, I went to check in on Saturday afternoon at 4 pm (!) but was told that our room was not ready. We asked for them to buy us a drink... more

I love the Claremont. Extremely beautiful and peaceful location! Efficient and friendly staff. I feel you get a great deal if you look at travelocity, otherwise it might get pricey. There is a resort charge that is added above the price, which had I known at check-in rather than check-out I would have used the resort. Room service is expensive... more

Use Priceline for business travel often and sometimes get a great surprise (or not so great!). Travel to the Bay area for business often (every other month) and usually stay in the city and head over to Emeryville for business. This trip the city was packed with Oracle people so we took a chance on Priceline in Berkley/Emeryville listing. Came... more

It may be pricey, but how can this place have an overall rating of 3 stars on tripadvisor? I came here to have my daughter's 21st birthday party, and I have to say that for catered events, this place it tops. The catering staff (especially Lanny) were amazing in helping us create a menu to suit a variety of dietary... more

I stayed at the Claremont on business from Sept 8-11. The room (118) had a distant view of San Francisco Bay and was a large room, with a very large bathroom and decent sized closet. I didn't hear a bit of noise from the corridor or other rooms during my three-night stay, and the room was clean and cosy. The... more

Got a good deal with the "Beat the Heat" special. Room was nice, there were some minor details (scratches, etc.) that you think maintenance would have caught. Bed was extremeley comfortable.

The bathroom window of room on the first floor room could be removed, and when I complained, I was told it could only be opened 4 inches. I could open it more than that, and the window was easily accessible from roof of the building next door. Another woman told me her window also wouldn't shut. My room rented for... more
