Casa 425 Lounge - Claremont

We'll definitely visit when we're in town. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and I can't stop dreaming about their cozy beds. The lounge is also top-notch!

The staff is extremely friendly, and the lounge is beautiful and cozy, complete with a fireplace. I would give it a 5 out of 5!

We stayed in a ground floor room with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the courtyard, which provided absolutely no privacy. We could see people sitting at tables and dining just about 10 meters away, which made us feel exposed. As a result, we had to keep the curtains closed at all times, creating a gloomy atmosphere. Our stay fell on a Saturday night, and it was extremely noisy. The sounds of diners and loud music permeated the air, and right behind our room were several other restaurants that contributed to the chaos with their own loud music. We had to use a fan to drown out the noise throughout the night. The hotel should be more transparent about this kind of environment when making reservations. We were very disappointed and would not recommend this place to anyone seeking true peace and quiet.

I really liked this hotel! All reviews of the need to draw curtains for privacy are correct, but still I loved my glass wall of windows and the small table on the wide way around the courtyard was a fun place to sit in full view of my room... Great location. I found the big bathtub in the room (instead of closed in the bathroom) amusing, although I didn't use it - it's a big DROUGHT right now. Beautiful large room, sufficient desk, lots of storage room, large bathroom counter (lighting could be better quality for the presentation), happy to have the small refrigerator, good coffee furnished. The included continental breakfast was much better than most places. The outdoor courtyard was a very pleasant place (especially as I continue to see Covid precautions and only people outside) to have a glass of wine with a local friend. I really like this is not a standard business hotel. And I don't know what they are, but I prayed the leaves on the bed!

Negatives: arrived to the hotel entrance with no signage of staff to advise on parking. After we parked a block away, and dragged our bags up the Streep front stairs (there is a ramp there was no one at the desk. Lobby was small, no signage. I walked right past the front desk! Our room, 301, was right next to the elevator. Huge but poorly furnished: one bed had no night table, extension cords strung visible across the floor in an area that needed a rug. Barn door trend in full effect but it’s NOT a good idea for the WC(toilet as you have zero privacy. Similarly the gigantic soaking tub in the middle of the room (and in the middle of the desert! was just absurd in a double room and even more FI in this setting. The room was oddly proportioned. The positive was that the bedding was excellent, but the breakfast was cheap and not what I’d expect at the price we paid. I wish I’d stayed at the Hilton it’s 1/2 the cost. I think this place needs more time to recover from Covid and up its game.
