Oakland Hotel Guide - Robert Lowie Museum of Anthropology hotels in Oakland, United States of America.

"Staff was really nice"

"Great price for a clean comfortable stay in Berkeley"

"Breakfast is limited but decent. Hotel us safe and convenient with parking next door"

"I booked a “business” room which clearly specified 2 people. The room I was given was to accommodate 1 person. Small with double bed . The bathroom was tiny with little shelf space. The additional glass shelf was broken and could not hold anything. The staff was very helpful to get me a different room for the remaining 3 Days"

"The staff was very nice & answered any question that I asked. The rooms were decent-ish. You can tell they’ve been remodeled to an extent but the paint was peeling the bathroom, you could see the nails in the floor boards & the shower didn’t look overly clean. Also - 3"

"LOCATION - 5 Stars - Great, especially if visiting UC Berkeley; next to restaurants and shops and steps away from the University STAFF - 2 Stars - There were only 2 or 3 young girls at the front desk that we met during our 3 day stay. All of them looked unhappy at their job and seemed a better fit at a Thrift Store. CLEANLINESS - 3 Stars - much to be desired, specifically in the bathroom. Let's just say I was not about to use the bathtub. Throughout the room and bathroom, it looked like a deep clean was much needed. RESTAURANT - 4 Stars - Nothing spectacular, my salad was not fresh, but prices were reasonable and the service was fast. OTHER - 3 Stars - There was a very strong smell in the lobby, which I could not say what it was - candle or something else. While the decor in the lobby was interesting and inviting, it seemed that students and random people could just come in, buy a coffee and sit there using their computers. The room was a good size (we had the corner Campenile view) however, it did not feel clean, there was no pen, not even a single piece of paper to write a note. The Front Desk lobby area did not have any interesting materials on the area, what to do or see and I was not about to ask the front desk ladies, they did not inspire much confidence. There was no concierge either. Overall good location, but not even a 4 Star hotel."

"I always enjoy my time at the Claremont. This time I did not rent a car and the only thing I missed was access to a nearby store to pickup essentials. A small gift shop would be something to consider."

"Probably our favorite place to stay when in the Bay Area. Clean rooms, friendly staff, and great breakfast. I will be staying here every time we visit."
