Very solid hotel, in a good area of the East Bay with a great hiking trail right behind the property. Perfect for a weekend getaway. Just remember your phone chargers not many options for juicing up the battery.

Beautiful historic facility, truly fantastic fitness facilities and services, and kind, professional staff. The rooms have a bit of deferred maintenance (peeling paint/wallpaper, some dirty carpets in common areas), but are comfortable and nicely appointed in general. The A/C unit was not working in the first room I was assigned, but the staff rectified the situation to the best of their ability, and made sure that the rest of my stay would be comfortable.

Top notch fitness facilities and a wonderful sense of history make any stay at the Claremont resort a special one. Staff is attentive and professional. Housekeeping is wonderful. Some of the common areas need a bit of attention (dirty carpets, stuffed chairs needed some attention), and there is some deferred maintenance in the rooms (peeling wallpaper, small tear in bench upholstery), but we absolutely love this place overall, and it remains one of our favorite destinations for a staycation in the greater Bay Area.

While the Claremont is a great historic property with lovely grounds and views, the overall value erodes quickly. Parking pricing is complicated and doesn't seem to work the way the front desk thinks it does. More importantly, there is a substantial resort fee. If you aren't taking full advantage (swimming, hot tubbing, playing tennis), you're just subsidizing other guests' activities.

Fantastic amenities make this our go to, preferred choice for a staycation within the greater Bay area. The athletic facilities and spa services are standouts, as is the strong sense of history that you receive by simply walking around the hotel and common areas. Housekeeping is wonderful. Rooms are spacious, and well appointed.There are small signs of deferred maintenance here and there, such as dirty carpets in the entryway, and some peeling wallpaper inside the rooms themselves, but none of this distracted from what was an all-around wonderful stay at the Claremont. We will surely return and always look forward to subsequent visits.
