Shasta Cascade Fishing Vacations

I absolutely loved this apt and hope it is available the next time we visit LA. it accommodated our entire family, and we felt welcome and at home. There were plenty of restaurants nearby, grocery close enough, and transportation (train). Parking was not convenient in the evenibg, but that is expected in downtown LA and has NOTHING to do with the apt itself, just our poor planning. 5stars

I had to cancel 2 nights of a 4 night reservation and they were very gracious and returned 2 nights charges.

Wonderful stay! Looking forward to my next visit

Love it here. Best of the best.

The Claremont is wonderful. The location is great across the street from a wonderful bakery and some nice shops. A short 15 minute walk to campus a short Uber ride from BART and downtown Berkeley or Oakland. Wonderful facilities weight room spa and pool nice food options with a wonderful bay view. The best thing though was the wonderful staff who consistently went out of the way to meet our needs and make us feel welcome. 5/5 stars all the way.

The Surf and Sand: Stunning Location, Disappointing Service The Surf and Sand's oceanfront location is genuinely spectacular—the kind of view that justifies five-star pricing. Unfortunately, the service quality falls far short of the property's premium positioning. Dining Issues: Our concierge recommended Splashes despite acknowledging recent reconstruction concerns, claiming they'd received no complaints. The reality was a severely limited menu with overpriced, overly rich dishes that didn't justify the cost. When we expressed concerns, no alternative dining options were suggested. Cancelled Services: Multiple advertised amenities failed to materialize. Morning yoga and other scheduled activities were cancelled without advance notice. Most frustratingly, a spa facial appointment booked a month in advance was cancelled when the aesthetician simply didn't show up. Billing Problems: Despite prepaying for our room, the hotel placed a $1,300 hold on our card for "incidentals"—an unusually high amount for a one-night stay. Additionally, the spa charged $148 for the cancelled facial service, and spa staff couldn't locate any record of the charge when we inquired. Bottom Line: While the oceanfront setting is undeniably beautiful, the property's operational issues—from unreliable service to questionable billing practices—don't support its five-star reputation. The location alone isn't enough to justify the premium pricing when basic hospitality standards aren't met.

Small place with no frills but clean and quiet

Great place to stay with fair rates. Coffee and water provided is awesome. Not a huge fan of virtual checkin but it works

The property was super accommodating and allowed us to stay until noon without any charge. Very unique decor and environment!
