I had an incredible time at The Claremont in Berkeley! The elegant hotel provided top-notch service and a luxurious room with amazing views. I adored the fantastic dining choices and had a great time working out in their well-equipped gym. The highlight was definitely my tennis lesson with a skilled coach who really helped improve my game. Overall, my stay was amazing and I can't wait to stay again in the future!
