Martin Griffin Preserve

there were a half dozen GIGANTIC PILLOWS. i took one of the few towels and rolled it for a neck support. took a pillow case off one of the gigantic pillows to cover my head and my eyes. had to pull the entire "spread" "blanket" from being tucked in to double it for sufficient warmth. should have asked for another blanket. doubling work. LIGHTS? i unplugged the desk lamp to bring it to the end table so i could have sufficient light to read before falling asleep. the bulb at the bedstead was only enough for moving around in the dark of night. a bigger bulb would have been nice or better lamp w/capacity for a bigger bulb. the tv station choices were outstanding. the lone ranger!!! and a variety of choices . the towels and wash cloths were cheap and thin. the room's fridge did work for some milk and fruit i bought but the freezer had a puddle of water in it. the staff was outstanding. i was allowed to leave my car in the lot for the trip to sacramento w/others to lobby. and when i was dropped off, the man at the desk let me use the employee bathroom before my drive back to alameda. the website said there would be a continental breakfast at either 6:30 or 7. that needs to be deleted.

Lovely visit to the Claremont. Quick check and friendly staff. Limewood restaurant was great for breakfast. The pool area was fantastic!

Pool was very warm and clean. Staff was great. Dinner was delicious. Very pretty spaces everywhere. We noticed that someone was going through what the cleaning staff was doing to make sure things were really nice
