Rooms with one bed in this hotel are $82. With two beds they are $92. Such prices are unheard of in Los Angeles, especially near UCLA. You obviously can't expect a jacuzzi and all sorts of luxuries for such a price. If you want more, you need to pay a lot more elsewhere and stop complaining. With this said, this... more

Not for you monkey/sheep types. Definitely for those that can appreciate history/culture/preservation/community. Regarding the broken beds and the flea infestation , I would have to agree with the one review about neighboring fleabag motels that want Claremont's customers. Regarding peeling paint, would you rather they renovate and raise the price and/or cover the walls with wall paper, like everybody else,... more

My family and I stayed at this "tired" not charming hotel during a recent visit to UCLA. As there were no suites left at the time of our booking, I stated that two rooms near each other would be ok. Our children were given a room on the third floor and my husband and I were given a room on... more

I laughed when I first walked into the Claremont. I thought "You have got to be KIDDING." As you have heard, the rooms have no televisions. The paint is peeling and the carpet is stained. One of the beds in my room was missing the headboard. The bathroom tile is extremely old. The soap comes from those soap dispensers you... more

A simple warning -- stay away from the Claremont Hotel. The rooms are stifflingly hot without A/C, some rooms have flea infestations, many room keys open doors to other rooms (a friend had a mentally unstable guest walk into her room this way), and my first floor room had a large, ground level window with any lock or security features.... more

This "hotel" is basically a flophouse....a place for students on a budget, a decent alternative to a hostel. Our 2-double bed room was $79 a night in 2006 for 3 people and I would call it a $29 room in a $50 location. The furniture was old (original)...original OLD bath tiles & flooring...not an updated or renovated place by any... more

This hotel is listed on the UCLA website as a suggestion for visitors. It is very inexpensive ($60/night), but you get what you pay for. The hotel is very old and hasn't been updated. There is a spacious balcony and lobby with free wireless internet, but the furniture is torn and stained. The rooms are tiny, hot, dirty, and mine... more

Personally, I would not recommend this hotel. The rooms are old, the hotel does not smell pleasant but given the relative affordibility one would think that it is worth a 2 night stay. Unfortunately, we had such a bad experience with the staff there that even that was not worth it. This one particular staff was so unpleasant that we... more

The Claremont is old, indeed, with apparently the original bathroom fixtures and furniture. The rooms are without TV and mine did not have a toilet tissue holder. Beds are uncomfortable. Soap is in dispensers. Noisy neighbors will be clearly heard. No parking is available through the hotel and none is available on the street. The nearest parking garage is 4... more
