Great location and highly uncomfortable rooms. The rooms are in three stories arranged around a courtyard (good). The side of the room facing the courtyard is entirely glass, floor to ceiling, including the door. Everyone walking by (as everyone does to get to their room) gets a full view into your room and, since the bath tub is in the middle of the room, of your tub. No privacy whatsoever unless the heavy curtains are closed, in which case the room is dark and gloomy. Why visit SoCal to hide in the dark? Nice location, which is why we stayed here, but truly cringe worthy room design. And the public areas are kind of grungy, need cleaning and new paint at a minimum.
Booked this hotel for a pre-holiday quick road trip. It's a smaller hotel and had windows/doors in the room that easily opened for air circulations, so we figured it might be a bit less risky re COVID. For the price, it was definitely a mixed bag. Pros: - Much of the room was very nicely designed. Very clean, looked like a recent update, new floors, nice couch and beds, etc. - Location in relation to downtown Claremont was convenient. - Parking was convenient - we even parked on the street, but a garage across the street was free, as well. Cons: - It is VERY near to road traffic, trains and a large market/restaurant facility. While those things mostly quieted down by 10 pm on the weekday we stayed, other reviews indicate it stays noisy later on weekends, so FYI. - Because our room was near the front of the building, not far from the market/restaurant space (the Packing House), what we DID experience was trucks sitting outside that space and idling. ALL. NIGHT. LONG. Not within the hotel's control, but unbearable all the same. (I would recommend other rooms but some of them look out into a nearby restaurant or small courtyard, all pretty noisy and populated until late at night.) - The employee who checked us in apparently felt that two middle aged adults were in fact children disguised as adults, because she treated us like children. She reiterated the hotel rules in the smarmiest, rudest way possible. - While MOST of the room was redone, the bathroom area was not entirely done - the shower was crusty and old as was the bathtub. The sink area looked like it been partly finished and then they said, oh, never mind. I recognize some of the negatives were outside the hotel's control, which is why I'm giving them a 3 and not a 1 or 2, but I doubt I'd stay here again. This should be marketed and promoted as a party hotel for young professionals or college students, but guests looking for a quieter, more serene space will not find it here.…
Hotel is smack in the middle of downtown and walking location to everything. Free parking in garage across the street. Hotel is stylish, with spacious high-ceilinged rooms that open onto an outdoor courtyard. Free, secure Wi-Fi. Filtered drinking water available, much appreciated. Large, deep bathtub. The only drawback for lovers of peace and quiet is that it seems to be party central, at least on our visit.
Well located close to the Claremont Colleges. The rooms are unusually large and airy with high ceilings. Amenities include bathrobes, toiletries, extra blankets. Most rooms have an oversized soaking tub for a bath, while others have fireplaces. For my taste, the walls were a little too bare and lacking decoration which would have made this place more warm and special. With the bar/restaurant closed and breakfast service reduced to pre-packaged items, it just felt cold and impersonal. A few minor details like clocks set to the wrong time, and hot water dispenser in the common area that was not functioning detracted from this otherwise classy hotel. Pets are allowed which is a plus if traveling with Rover.
This is a lovely small hotel in downtown Claremont. The large rooms face a quiet courtyard. I was concerned about the dozen stairs at the entrance, but there is a ramp. Parking across the street works fine. Bkfst pretty simple, like many during Covid times.
This hotel is a slice of heaven. A rather bland exterior hides a gorgeous, Mediterranean feel inside, with rooms around a lovely courtyard with plenty of comfy seats. We arrived after midnight, but the man at the front desk was waiting for us and helped three weary travelers with every detail to get us happily settled. The breakfast was grab and go due to COVID, but beautifully wrapped and really yummy. Sitting in the courtyard watching hummingbirds while we ate made for a memorable morning. Will definitely return!
Gorgeous modern rooms, AMAZING food and first-rate staff! I just loved every minute. We had the steak, sliders, and the burrito... UNREAL. So so good. The best was the burrito. The rooms were so clean, so comfy. LOVED every detail! Super soft towels and fantastic bed! The staff went WAY out of their way to be helpful. We mentioned we were going to get frozen yogurt across the street, and the front desk gal even gave us a tip about ordering it online, so we could skip the line! What AMAZING staff! I'm seriously looking to find a way to stay there again just to relive the experience. Thank you!!!
Amazing small boutique hotel. Great location for restaurants and shopping. Very friendly and safe for a female traveling alone. The room was huge, but the soaking tub was the best! The room overlooked an outdoor courtyard which featured small plates and cocktails. The room delivered breakfast was an added plus.
stayed 2/13/21 for a one night stay for Valentines day. We live locally and wanted to stay close to home but have a getaway just the two of us. Room: This place had its own unique layout. email was sent for easy check in process and walked in and everything was ready to go. i got the romantic package and it was ready when we walked in to room. bottle of champagne, tealights and rose petals (fake) made a heart shape on the bed with some chocolates waited for us. Courtyard & lounge: looked fun with seating and couches with fire pits. at first it was loud but they close early and when we came back from dinner it was very quiet. parking is across the street from a parking structure for all of the businesses. they give you a paper for your car so you will not be towed. food: so many choices. we had Crepes at Crepeas de Paris for lunch and dinner at the Whisper house. This place is in the downtown. during the day many shops and restaurants and the metro link station is a 5 minute walk. Due to Covid, many places offered dinner outside on patios but it was cold. many places closed early as well.…
Very close to the Pomona courthouse and in a great location to walk around Claremont, the colleges, and the Village area. It fit the bill, and the front desk folks are friendly and helpful. Also, the breakfast and bar area fits what you need on a business trip.
