My wife and I loved our two-night stay in the land of green cars and coffee houses. You just won't find any of them at the Claremont, which pampers you in unabashed luxury at the top of a hill from which you can see San Francisco's skyline. We loved our very-largest suite-like room with marble double-sinks, divan and sitting area,... more

I have used the spa and eaten at the restaurant before. Both are good, but when we stayed overnight at the hotel everything was wrong. A very hot day, no air conditioning and no attempt to fix it or put us in another room. The spa is only for people who have actually booked a treatment NOT overnight guests...overnight guests... more

Room 515. OK Very nice property, but just a pretty face. Room Service left out parts of our orders such as cheese on a cheeseburger. Housekeeping-Poor, Front desk staff could hardly smile. Food very good but overpriced. Very nice pool area, pilates room and GREAT Spa. I'd stay someplace else the next time. more

First off, this is NOT a 4 star hotel--at least not compared to 4 star hotels that I typically stay in. I'd give it maybe 3 stars. The Claremont is old, a bit rundown and has tiny rooms. The front desk people seemed snotty and apathetic. They will charge you an additional $24.00 per day for parking (despite the fact... more

The views may be beautiful, but the $24 daily resort fee is ridiculous. I refuse to support a hotel that charges extra for amenities that a guest rightly expects are included when the guest is paying $300 a night for a room. I have no idea what the resort fee was supposed to cover, but it should not exist. If... more

I'm a Berkeley alum and have always thought of the Claremont as THE place. I finally stayed there last weekend with my room booked by the university (I was participating in a conference on campus; I brought my infant and my mom along for the ride). Having read reviews here last year I had low expectations. They were actually exceeded... more

We live in San Francisco, and decided to spend one night at the Claremont because we were going to a show at the Berkeley Rep and decided we'd make a fun, East Bay night of it. We reserved a King Studio Suite (room 301) which had a fantastic view of the bay. One complaint though, the sitting area in the... more

Looking for a winter rejuvenation? The Claremont was a great respite for us. Looking for relief from Ohio ice (me) and from the pressures of studying in a cramped dorm (my daughter), we spent a weekend enjoying each other's company and the hotel. We checked in to room 107 and were delighted with the view - two big windows afforded... more

My husband and I stayed in Rm 215 for one night in this supposedly, Grand hotel. Sad to say, but I was very disappointing..When I made the reservation, I explicitly asked for a nice room since we were celebrating my birthday, anniversary and Valentine's day (since it was Feb. 11th). The room we were given had a good view but... more
