What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Excellent Dining Experience

During our stay at the Claremont, we dined at the Limewood, and it was truly excellent. The squid risotto was very nice, and the highlight was definitely the Caramel Sundae dessert with Oatmeal Stout Caramel and house-made marshmallows. It's a must-try!

Cozy and Spacious Room

Our room was exceptionally large, bright, and airy. The bed was incredibly comfy, and I loved the luxurious marble bathroom with a lovely tub and shower. Everything felt like a high-end retreat.

Kid-Friendly Amenities

The kids' club was fantastic! It offered complimentary hours for the children and kept them entertained with games and fun activities. This allowed us some much-needed relaxation time at the pool.

My stay at the Claremont was mixed, with stunning views and a beautiful historic property, but the service left much to be desired. While my room was spacious and well-kept, it lacked proper cleaning and the amenities were not up to par. Overall, the experience was marred by service issues that made it feel less luxurious than expected, especially for the price.

Rooms

The room was spacious and well-maintained, but the view was not as expected—looking out onto a parking lot rather than the bay. The cleanliness of the room was also lacking, which was disappointing.

Service

Service was inconsistent; while some staff were friendly, many issues arose, such as long wait times at the front desk and problems with room keys, which affected overall enjoyment.

The location is spectacular, with breathtaking views of the bay and San Francisco across the water, truly a highlight of the stay.

Dining

The dining experience at Limewood was underwhelming, with dishes arriving lukewarm and staff seeming overwhelmed. Not quite what I expected for a higher-end hotel.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities were somewhat lacking; the gym was under construction, leading to a disappointing setup, and areas like the sauna needed better upkeep.

5.0/10

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.

Rooms

Location

6.0

The hotel's location is great but marred by ongoing construction that detracts from the experience.

Dining

5.0

I had a rather underwhelming dining experience, with limited options of food that felt more like convenience store fare than dining at a hotel.

Facilities

The pool area was crowded and felt less exclusive due to many families using the facilities; the gym's makeshift setup was also disappointing.

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.

6.6/10

I had a rather mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the location is quite appealing and the grounds are beautifully maintained. However, some aspects like the service at the spa left much to be desired, which was disappointing especially on our wedding night. The rooms, while decent, could definitely use an upgrade considering the price point.

Rooms

The rooms are a decent size, featuring excellent bathrooms, but the view from our room was obstructed by trees, which was a letdown.
