Avis THE CLAREMONT HOTEL CLUB & SPA Berkeley

Fabulous

Awesome place to have a weekend away. Great restaurant, beautiful views and rooms, and lovely place to lounge by the pool. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous classic beauty.

Worked here before. Lovely place with lovely employees

Muito bom, recomendo.

I stayed here for a conference and it was fantastic.

The building itself is huge and has historic charm. It's gorgeously decorated and includes many photographs from the history of the building on the walls. There were great views from inside and out of the building and it's very close to trails .

The staff was also great.

Always a wonderful getaway from San Francisco. Perfect for a staycation! A resort experience without the hustle of planes, trains and automobiles ;-)

Beautiful place. It’s showing its age just a little, but the rooms and facilities are gorgeous and the staff is impeccable.

Alexis is the manager and was rude about checking in early

The views are spectacular! Its a perfect spot for a weekend getaway. Nearby there's a bakery with the best marmalade scones.

We booked the Claremont for our wedding suite and couldn't have been happier. The room was spacious and had a beautiful view of the bay, and the grounds had a 20th-century, luxiorious feel without seeming too outdated. Each member of the staff we coordinated with was very friendly and flexible as well.

I love this place. Get a bay view room if you go. I’m convinced there’s no better view of the Bay Area than from this hotel.

Excellent meal with nice view. Very good service. Lovely day.

It was a beautiful place to go and stay there before all the over bearing decor. It doesn't be long to Berkeley, it is a ALL on Oakland. Put it back to the way it looked after restoration between 1971 and when you took it over. It was always filled, lots of Great entertainment and super food and supurb relaxation. Not overpriced!

Looking forward to my next spa visit.
I appreciate the excellent customer service shown to me and I can’t wait for another chance to unwind.

Kirsten at the front desk in the club is the best! So kind and courteous!

Most of the employees have encountered are great
Others snobbish, project
Prejudice attitudes I had 2 make a complaint to management about a particular incident

We just got back from our one night stay at the Claremont Club & Spa, celebrating the New Year. The experience was horrible. I could not wait getting out of that room to get home. Is it really a 4-star Fairmont Hotel? The price is definitely there but neither the hardware nor the software matches the star rating. The room is small, old, smelly with paint chipped and stains on the couch/chair and on the wall. It's just not inviting at all. The sound insulation was terrible with the noise coming either from the hallway or from upstairs. Spa seemed to be separate from the hotel. One cannot charge it to the room and the service was inconsistent. My husband had a great massage but mine was like chicken scratch. The room service people were the highlight of the stay. They were nice and friendly but our room was missing a bath robe and slippers. The food at the Limewood restaurant was not bad but definitely on the heavy side. The dinner does not come with bread, which did not surprise me nowadays. However, the only bread one can order was the rolls with bone marrow spread. I noticed on the menu that there was one dish coming with sourdough. So I asked our waiter if we could get some sourdough bread. His response was curt: "No, you can't". And when I asked for some fresh pepper and salt, our waiter brought out salt and pepper shaker bottles. For a restaurant like this, I consider both behavior unacceptable. Needless to say, we won't come back.
