Diablo Hotels

"If you are visiting your child at Cal, staying at the Claremont is a no-brainer if you are looking for a bit (or a lot) more than a typical hotel stay. "

"I had the best salad at the restaurant, all the staff during my brief stay were wonderful!"

"My daughter and I have stayed at this hotel three times in the past year and a half due to water polo tournaments being held at U.C. Berkeley. We chose it originally due to the easy walking distance to Cal, but we grew to love the friendly staff, comfortable clean rooms and welcoming atmosphere. The decor is very nice. The food that we ordered through room service was very good. "

"Great staff "

"Sonesta Select 2queen bed rm was spacious, beds very comfy (pillow top) and 3 pillows great! Had refrig & microwave in rm-convenient! Balcony nice -so we could see how hard rain falling. Great ckin& fast. Only negative-room was cold-70*!! Cold air coming from vents- all nite! We turned temp to 80* -1 hr later- did not change!. Maintenance came/ he could not get it to warm up! Got extra comforters for us. Hotel looks nice- didn’t get 2 eat breakfast. Would dtay again."

"Ok"

"Fine for short, inexpensive stay Be prepared for minimum comfort, hard mattress and expensive lousy breakfast."

"Great value. Clean & friendly "

"Unfortunately I wouldn't stay here again. The entire place is a bit dingy and odors linger, the bathroom/bedroom layout is awkward and made opening and storing suitcases difficult, and the breakfast was mediocre and always closed early. The location was convenient for getting in/out San Francisco and we appreciated the number of close restaurants and shopping. "
