Top Oakland Hotel Reviews

Claremont Resort & Club

Claremont Resort & Club

10/10 Excellent
"Love that the Claremont is very dog friendly, with bowls and beds plus a dog welcome package in the room and handy dog areas outside. Note our room was definitely a dog room and while spacious, it smelled like it - not unexpected but strong - and some of the furniture had seen some real pet action. On the upside, the bed was super comfortable, the redone gym and pool are awesome and still feel new, and the location is great."
