Relaxing Spa Experience

During my stay, I had the opportunity to enjoy a couples massage at the spa. Despite some outdated features, such as the showers, the overall experience was excellent. The waiting area was cozy and filled with refreshments, which made for a great start to our spa day.

United Kingdom, January 2025

5.0/10

My birthday stay at the hotel was a mix of excitement and disappointment. While the staff was polite and the atmosphere had a classic charm, I was let down by the room's lack of a bay view despite being labeled as such. The amenities were lacking, and dining experiences fell short. For $600 a night, I expected better value for money, especially with construction ongoing around the premises.

Rooms

5.0

Our room was located on the ground floor and had a view of the parking lot instead of the bay. It felt standard but not worth the price.

Service

6.0

The service was polite, but it felt limited given the circumstances.

Location

6.0

The hotel is in a lovely location though the surrounding construction made it inconvenient to access some areas, including dining and the pool.

Dining

5.0

Dining options were disappointing; the food was underwhelming, and I expected better, especially at dinner.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities felt under construction and the gym setup was makeshift. The sauna was not pleasant, which detracted from the experience.

6.8/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the building is grand and has a fitness center, we were turned off by a musty smell that seemed to permeate everywhere, including our room. The amenities are decent, but the noise from neighboring rooms was disruptive. Overall, it felt a bit overpriced for the experience, especially given the smell issues.

Rooms

6.0

The room was spacious and well-appointed, but it suffered from a lingering musty smell. Noise from adjacent rooms and corridors was also an issue.

Service

Staff interactions were fine, but it seemed like the hotel needed better maintenance and more attention to guest comfort.

Location

The hotel is in a lovely area near the University, providing great views, but it doesn't enjoy an ideal atmosphere due to the issues we encountered.

5.4/10

I had two very different experiences at the Claremont. On one hand, the stunning views and fantastic dining left a lasting impression. On the other, I encountered significant issues with the room’s cleanliness and the service felt inconsistent. Overall, while the location and some amenities are top-notch, improvements are needed in the accommodations and guest experience.

Rooms

5.0

We had a very disappointing experience with the room. It was small, old, and had an unpleasant smell. The decor felt outdated, and the noise levels from outside were bothersome.

Service

5.0

While room service staff were friendly, the rest of the service was hit or miss. Some interactions were curt, and little effort was made to meet our needs, especially during dining.

Location

7.0

The location is convenient, set in a park-like area with great views, but it's important to note that many non-hotel guests use the pool and spa, which diminishes the exclusivity.

Dining

6.0

Dining at the Limewood restaurant was enjoyable at times, but I found the menu somewhat limiting and the waitstaff's responses often came off as curt.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities, especially the pool area, seemed worn and not properly maintained, which impacted our overall experience.

7.6/10

The hotel boasts a lovely ambiance with beautiful views of the Bay, but be prepared for some noise depending on your room location. While the overall service was commendable, the additional fees and issues with room layout could detract from your stay. Definitely a nice spot for leisure but perhaps not ideal for short business stays due to the unexpected costs.

Rooms

7.0

Our Bay View room had stunning views, but the awkward bathroom layout made showering tricky, and the noise from the street could be disruptive.

Service

8.0

The staff was pleasant and helpful, with standout service from the front desk and spa, although there were frustrations with room service and check-in wait times.

Location

8.0

The location offers picturesque views and is a short walk to some good breakfast spots, though other dining options require a bit more walking.

Dining

7.0

Breakfast options nearby were delicious, although limited dining on-site. A solid option if you're willing to explore a bit.

I have a lot of fond memories associated with this hotel, especially since it's where I celebrated important moments in my life. However, I noticed that there are some maintenance issues that need to be addressed, which is concerning given the premium price. The noise levels from events were a bit disruptive, but I still cherish my experience overall.
