"I booked a “business” room which clearly specified 2 people. The room I was given was to accommodate 1 person. Small with double bed . The bathroom was tiny with little shelf space. The additional glass shelf was broken and could not hold anything. The staff was very helpful to get me a different room for the remaining 3 Days"

"The staff was very nice & answered any question that I asked. The rooms were decent-ish. You can tell they’ve been remodeled to an extent but the paint was peeling the bathroom, you could see the nails in the floor boards & the shower didn’t look overly clean. Also - 3"

"LOCATION - 5 Stars - Great, especially if visiting UC Berkeley; next to restaurants and shops and steps away from the University STAFF - 2 Stars - There were only 2 or 3 young girls at the front desk that we met during our 3 day stay. All of them looked unhappy at their job and seemed a better fit at a Thrift Store. CLEANLINESS - 3 Stars - much to be desired, specifically in the bathroom. Let's just say I was not about to use the bathtub. Throughout the room and bathroom, it looked like a deep clean was much needed. RESTAURANT - 4 Stars - Nothing spectacular, my salad was not fresh, but prices were reasonable and the service was fast. OTHER - 3 Stars - There was a very strong smell in the lobby, which I could not say what it was - candle or something else. While the decor in the lobby was interesting and inviting, it seemed that students and random people could just come in, buy a coffee and sit there using their computers. The room was a good size (we had the corner Campenile view) however, it did not feel clean, there was no pen, not even a single piece of paper to write a note. The Front Desk lobby area did not have any interesting materials on the area, what to do or see and I was not about to ask the front desk ladies, they did not inspire much confidence. There was no concierge either. Overall good location, but not even a 4 Star hotel."

"I always enjoy my time at the Claremont. This time I did not rent a car and the only thing I missed was access to a nearby store to pickup essentials. A small gift shop would be something to consider."

"Probably our favorite place to stay when in the Bay Area. Clean rooms, friendly staff, and great breakfast. I will be staying here every time we visit."

"My room was clean and the workers were very nice and respectful."

"Old"

"Room was clean, towels and sheets very clean and white. The bathroom was very clean. Refrigerator, and microwave in room. The carpet could use a good cleaning."

"I did not have a car I walked or use the bus system or Bart"
