My stay at the Claremont was mixed, with stunning views and a beautiful historic property, but the service left much to be desired.

Overall, the experience was marred by service issues that made it feel less luxurious than expected, especially for the price.

My recent stay had a mix of positives and negatives. The hotel itself has a lovely charm, but the room I was given didn't live up to expectations, especially for the price I paid. The service left a lot to be desired, and the dining experience was underwhelming. However, I did appreciate the beautiful surroundings and the amenities, even though I feel they could improve their maintenance and guest satisfaction.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort spa, enjoying the peaceful and clean atmosphere throughout. The accommodations were truly comfortable and spacious, perfect for unwinding after exploring the Bay Area. The staff went above and beyond, especially with thoughtful touches like a cheese board in our room. However, the dining experience could use improvement, particularly during busy hours. Overall, it offered great value for money, making it a fantastic choice for relaxation.

I had a rather mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the location is quite appealing and the grounds are beautifully maintained.

The rooms, while decent, could definitely use an upgrade considering the price point.
