What guests think

Guests frequently praise the pools, gym, tennis and spa access, plus the scenic setting near UC Berkeley. Common pain points include construction noise or blocked views, occasional cleanliness lapses or musty odors, crowded or lesson-packed pools with limited hours, parking and resort fees, and inconsistent dining quality and value. Expect a beautiful, activity-rich stay with great views, tempered by an older layout, possible construction, and higher costs.

The bayview room option didn't work too well as it was too bright one day and overcast the next! Possibly a better window shading option that allows viewing out clearly yet protects UV from one's eyes. The desk was also right against the window and the heavy chair was hard to move on the carpet. The bed was very comfortable! The resort fee covered a lot! We really enjoyed using the steam, suana and whirlpools in both men's and women's side!

Our stay at the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Check-in with Jonas at the front desk was seamless—he was patient, informative, and set the tone for an exceptional visit. The room was opulent and comfortable, and the gym exceeded expectations with its luxurious amenities. Breakfast was delicious, especially the omelet, and Muang went above and beyond with kindness and care for the kids. The 5 p.m. saber ceremony was a memorable highlight, and the view from any deck was simply outstanding—facilities were spotless and well maintained, making our stay truly enjoyable.I celebrated my 40th here and they had champagne and bites in the room

Registration was difficult. Area noisy due to loud music in bar. Only 1 staff person on duty and she was engrossed in conversation with someone (not checking in or out) for a long time. Another staff person came out eventually to check us in, but was unsuccessful in enabling room key to work for parking entry/exit. Also only 3 ev chargers, always in use so we weren’t able to charge ours.

Great service - pool is great especially if you like swimming laps (& teaching your kids). Tennis courts are fun - we are a tennis playing family! Now, they have food/drinks at the pool area- so that is great! Gym is also amazing! ( Wished self parking was included with the resort fee - doesn’t make sense why that is a separate charge for hotel guests…

When I made my reservations the website assured that both pools would be available. As a dedicated lap swimmer that was the primary selling point. Over the busy July 4 week the 5 lane lap pool was under rehabilitation, thus the general pool was overcrowded with swim lessons, aerobics & other swimmers with limited availability. I was very disappointed.

I was so excited for this stay as I have family in the area and am looking for a new homemade when I come to visit. Unfortunately, it was awful. The hotel smells musty. After one night, I started looking around our room to see if I could identify the cause of the odor. That's when I saw the black mold all over the vent in our room. The other vents were equally as filthy. I brought it to the attention of the manager who was quick to offer a new room. I was shocked to open the door to find we had been downgraded to a smaller room despite paying for a deluxe queen at the outset. The new room had a dirty glass in the bathroom stained with old water/scum. I emailed the manager and have yet to hear back. There was no follow up. Needless to say I won't be back.

We recently checked into our room and found the service to be commendable. However, upon arrival, we encountered a few issues that raised some concerns. Firstly, there was a cockroach in the restroom, which was unexpected. Additionally, we noticed some wet towels left on the ground, and the shower had a slight leak. Moreover, the bedsheets felt damp, suggesting they may not have dried completely. On a positive note, the room itself was beautifully decorated, and the amenities were quite lovely. Despite these challenges, I am looking forward to the opportunity to stay there again in the future and trust that these matters will be addressed.

Failed clean and service my room the last day of stay. Was out of room from at least 10:45 am to 9:15 pm. No consideration on bill nor did I ask. Better hotels accommodate when they fail significant service. Maybe because they are not fairmount anymore. The do not disturb sign was not displayed.

It's a beautiful old hotel and they are remodeling the exterior but for the money, the interior needs some attention. The shades should be automatic, the fabrics need update, the furnishings should be more streamline in a small room with 2 beds so you can walk around the bed without hitting the corner of the desk and suitcase holder...it just needs some attention.

I have stayed at the Claremont several times over the past few years, and I usually have no complaints. But my check in experience during this last stay left a lot to be desired. I arrived for check in late (I believe around 11 p.m.) and had paid for the room in advance. Because I didn't have a physical credit card on me, I attempted to put the incidentals on my digital credit card (of which I had three). The front desk staff informed me that the system was not accepting them for some reason, and asked me to fill out a form, which I did. The first card/form also was declined. I filled out a second form, which also was declined. Then I was told to contact my credit card directly and there was nothing the hotel could do for me, which I did. 30 minutes later after getting a response from the credit card company that there was in fact a hold on my card from the hotel, I asked the front desk what I can do next. The person at the desk tried again and lo and behold my card was accepted. Meanwhile, I saw at least four holds on my card from the hotel. Yet, instead of double-checking and triple-checking your system, I was made to feel like the problem was on my end. It took me about 40 minutes to be able to check in and access my room closer to midnight. All in all, it was a very unpleasant start to my stay, and even though I am a member, I will not be returning any time soon.

This is a lovely staycation if you live in SF! We live in the fog, and needed a break from the children. The claremont fit the bill! In the past we sometimes have gone far away, but that can be stressful because of the long drives, etc. WIth the Claremont, we got to explore a part of the Bay Area where we usually don't go, and the facilities are glorious. The workout rooms are phenomenal, and the pool and spa are fantastic. Plus don't forget your tennis and pickleball racquet! Great weekend without the stress of travel! We will be back!

Love the location where you can see beautiful view of the bay and city - a bit surreal in the busy city of Berkeley. Great restaurant and love the whole gym club facility - the nicest I've seen in hotels. Also - great staff service. The standard room is small - which is the only drawback to this stay. When you are in the room - no where else to sit but the bed and the one uncomfortable chair. But the entire hotel has plenty of very nice sitting areas - which is where I end up hanging out most of the time - try to stay away from my room!

Room service breakfast not so good. The app does not allow for many a la carte options - very inflexible. Worse, I got a large bowl of runny bland oatmeal - no texture, no honey, pathetic “granola”, had to add fruit on the side. The bill was $47!! Look to the 4 Seasons or Ritz Carlton for guidance. Finally, the hotel lobby smells terrible.

Best thing about the place is the view. Otherwise, super overpriced for what it is. It’s fine: clean, safe, quiet, but not a luxury experience. The restaurant bad (watered down drinks, super salty and dry pork chop served with several pieces of squash that cost $45 and took about an hour to arrive after ordering) and very overpriced. Again, the view and champagne were enough to (almost) justify being there. Overall, I felt the value was lacking.

Love that the Claremont is very dog friendly, with bowls and beds plus a dog welcome package in the room and handy dog areas outside. Note our room was definitely a dog room and while spacious, it smelled like it - not unexpected but strong - and some of the furniture had seen some real pet action. On the upside, the bed was super comfortable, the redone gym and pool are awesome and still feel new, and the location is great.

When I walked down the hall to my room and saw the worn carpets and dirty elevator (finger prints and dirt all around the bottom of the elevator) I had a feeling I made a mistake booking here. The initial room I was given smelled badly of mold and old carpet. The couch was so dirty and stained it looked like it came from a seedy motel out of a movie. It was disgusting. I called down to have my room changed and the front desk said they had to have a manager do that. I had to call them twice to make it happen. The second room was much nicer but still dated. It at least did not smell and didn't have stains on the furniture. It makes me wonder whether they decided that I would be fine 1 star room, or their management is so inept to not know which rooms should be taken out of rotation and fixed. It took me a full 24 hours to get over the horror, and I was going to be there for only three days. The incredible views from my second room really helped and the spa quality soaps, shampoos and lotion were also soothing. The bathrooms are really nice. The courts and club were definitely well maintained. There are few staff people there to help and the hallways were a little dingy and creepy. In kindness, I would guess that the hotel (it's no longer a resort) is going through a rough patch. My recommendation for them is to start with doing a better job with the overall cleanliness of the hotel. They should see it from a customer's point of view rather than a check list.
