What guests think

At DoubleTree by Hilton Claremont, travelers consistently praise the friendly staff, lush grounds with a pleasant pool area, and comfortable rooms—many with balconies—along with a convenient location for the Claremont Colleges and nearby shops and restaurants.

Reviews also note that the property is older, with some dated bathrooms, worn carpets, and occasional musty odors or maintenance issues. Noise can be a factor due to thin walls or courtyard events, and parking near certain buildings—especially Building 4—can be limited. Breakfast and the on-site bar/restaurant are well liked, though breakfast is not always included and some find prices or Wi‑Fi charges high. Overall, expect a welcoming, convenient stay with resort-style grounds, tempered by an older feel and occasional noise or parking trade-offs.

We stayed two nights at the Doubletree in Whittier before changing to this hotel, and the Claremont location was much better. Amazing breakfast buffet with friendly staff and the pool area was small but nice. Room was comfortable with a clean balcony, pillows were nicer at this location too. A bit too far to walk to Claremont Village but a shopping area with a Trader Joe’s in walking distance.

Parking is always a problem here; hallways could use sprucing up. Limited hotels in this area so prices are higher than I’d like to pay. All we need is a bed and we don’t use the pool or restaurant. Close to town center is great.

We have stayed here several times. This time we were on the third floor. Room was quiet. As for comfort, pillows are too hard for my liking. Maid service was impressive… the room was tidy and bed sheets changed after only one night. Parking is not great if you are in building 4. By time we arrive in the late evening, all spaces are full and we cannot park close to the building. The hall, elevator and entrance area could use some cleaning. A vacuum for indoors and maybe even power washing for the outdoor area would help. Areas of the building are starting to look “tired”. As usual, we got cookies on arrival and checking in was fast and easy which I love.

the staff was great, but the property is way too noisy. The event area for the hotel is in the middle courtyard. A VERY LOUD wedding ran late into the evening. The following morning at 7:30 AM they had rented out the atrium for a service and the band began practicing- which could be heard out into the parking lot. This is less about the staff which were all friendly and a negative comment towards management - don't let guests set up that early!!! Especially on a Sunday morning. The hotel was also poorly designed- of course all of the sound in the atrium is going to carry into the rooms that surround it. Doors and walls are incredibly thin you can hear everyone's conversations as well as bathroom business! Would not recommend if you are a light sleeper or trying to manage any business meetings.

This is a relatively spacious, somewhat dated hotel in close proximity to the Claremont colleges. Our room was clean, albeit quite dark. Air conditioner was quite loud, especially during the night; that said, it worked, which was crucial for visit in mid-August. Overall, staff were friendly and professional. Giving 4 stars rather than 5 because I don’t think value was there for the price.

Our room was next to the elevator so VERY noisy, even at midnight. Maybe the hotel needs to post reminders to be quiet. It would be nice to have a refill daily of water in the room. Parking near building 4 is minimal. This is a good city for restaurants.

This hotel does the job. It’s fine but nothing special. Truthfully there aren’t a lot of options in Claremont. The location is good, close to the 5 C’s. The A/C works well but it’s very noisy. I appreciate the Starbucks coffee in the lobby.

Unfortunately, the front desk staff didn’t seem to care about customer service. Although we asked for early check-in for two rooms, we did not get it. As a matter fact, one of the rooms wasn’t even ready until 5 o’clock. And then then, unfortunately, they gave us a room with one king bed instead of two double beds, which is what we requested. When we pointed this out, they said there were no rooms available on that floor and our family had to be split up between two floors. Also, disappointing that they don’t offer free Wi-Fi considering the cost. The shower in our room was almost impossible to work. The hotel is severely understaffed in terms of cleaning services, which is why they explained it took so long for us have our room ready. Also, their signature cookies have walnuts in them, despite the fact that so many have nut allergies

The check in process was not easy as the room key wasn’t sent to my phone as requested. When I spoke to the front desk person, she was less than helpful saying she wasn’t sure why it wasn’t sent and she guesses she could try to send it again. I ended up having to stop in the front desk and get regular keys, which is no big deal but it was one more thing I didn’t want to have to deal with when check in at Hiltons is normally much smoother. The room itself was quite beat up. There were gouges in the closet door and the bathroom vanity. One of the bathroom tiles was cracked clear through and the tub was missing the finish around the tub drain. You could see the interior of the tub where the finish was missing. That being said, the bed was comfortable, the room felt safe and the area was great.

Perfect location. When I arrived at the hotel … I was warmly welcomed by A Staff member! The food and Room service were fantastic and very tasty. This was one of the most perfect experiences. I can’t thank The staff and manager enough for helping get clothing donations. After losing everything I owned in the Eaton fire it felt so good to have clothes and shoes to wear while I figure out where I go next. I’m grateful and thankful for these kind humans.
