Editorial Review for Claremont Resort & Spa – by Jim Harrington

The Scene
Located in the hills just a couple of miles from downtown Berkeley, this ritzy spot feels worlds removed from the Bay Area rat race. During the week, business executives escape to the resort's secluded setting, which offers great views of the San Francisco skyline. The hotel also attracts locals looking for a romantic weekend stay in large, plush rooms and a trip to the full-service spa.

The Details
The hotel offers guests a number of fitness options, including a massive health club, 10 tennis courts and two outdoor lap pools. Those in the mood to be pampered can reserve a massage, hydrotherapy session or body wrap at the spa. The hotel has three on-site restaurants with grand bay views. Hotel accommodations are roomy, elegant and modern, each with its own sitting area and spa tub. Amenities include CD and DVD players, complimentary Internet access and fluffy bathrobes.

I went to get a facial and to wax my upper lip. The esthetician did not know what she was doing and gave me first degree burns on my upper lip. I was concerned my upper lip would be SCARRED. I spent the next day in the Emergency Room to treat the burns. I ended up walking around with a big red scab across my upper lip for a week. My appointment was on 12/20/07 and I was promised a "refund" for this inconvenience. Now it is 1/27/08 and I have been calling them every week to find out when my refund would be posted and they keep claiming the refund was posted already in a batch. I have yet to get my money back. Go at your own risk!

While the mausseuses are excellent and really deliver top notch massage services, the decor is looking pretty dated and downright shabby in places and the desk and reservation staff are next to useless. My stress level goes up every time I try to check in for a service. The desk staff seem to have hearing or spelling problems and while the entire tone of the experience should start at the door, I find myself girding for what is worse experience than checking in for an airline flight. They seem to take forever to find me, ask for the spelling of a very simple five letter last name repeated times. and then are very officious about the credit card that you had to leave to make the reservation, and they would be all too quick to charge if I were a no-show, "We need to swipe your card." It's bad enough that I've complained to management but they persist in their very unwelcoming policies. The staff is also snotty, as if working at a spa confirms some special status.
