Independent, Bay Area hotels

"Good"

"Great value for the room"

"Nice hotel"

"Staff was amazing, beds were great, the location was walkable to so many good places. Very close to some sketchy areas but never felt unsafe."

"Everything was fine . One thing I noticed: strange behaving several people entered hotel and helped themselves to breakfast leaving promptly. No one stopped them or said anything. I suspect they were homeless. One was wearing dirty house pants. One noticeably had some mental condition twitching and talking to himself. I would prefer staying in a place that caters only to paying guests who are verified with ID "

"We had a very nice room and enjoyed a very large breakfast before heading out to tackle the city."

"very nice staff"

"Beautiful, historic hotel. Interesting clientele. Well-maintained, sanitary. Have stayed here many times."

"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 "
