It was excellently located since my daughter is studying in UCLA which is just few steps from here. Very peaceful cozy place , very kind staff and i love the lounge area. I would recommend for all parents who like to visit there kids. I will come again.

I enjoyed the atmosphere, am particularly fond of 'old' hotels. Previously visited The Drake in Chicago and The Moana Hotel in Honolulu. The Claremont resort fee is one of the better ones I ever had to pay as it gave me access to the Spa & Club while I was a guest. Could do better with the 'convenience store' on... More

It is totally acceptable for it's price and location. Very reasonable and clean. Stay here again for the price.

Location is excellent. But this place is basically an SRO in a fancy part of town. It smelled like Lysol, the carpet was threadbare, the furniture very old, no tv in the room, no toiletries! No parking. I mean, what kind of hotel has no tv in the room? Stay here only if you need to be in Westwood on... More

I want to start off by saying that what you get for the price is a sleeping room, not a hotel room. By this I mean that you WILL NOT have a tv in your room or even a telephone to call the front desk. There will be NO SHAMPOO, BLOW DRYER OR EXTRA OUTLETS TO PLUG IN YOUR CELL... More

The location of this hotel is unbeatable: everything in Westwood in walking distance: supermarkets, restaurants, cinemas and even UCLA. You do not need a car, which would be difficult in other places in LA. The price is so low that you know upfront that this place is no fancy boutique neither a five star hotel, but a place to sleep,... More

Yeah I know this place was built in 1939, and it says it is still decorated in that type of decor.... BUT they could have at least made the bathroom usable. The sink and tub are rusty and moldy. The mattresses are like sleeping on a hard wood floor. No air or heat, no in room TV or radio &... More

Despite the wonderful location and the cheap price, this hotel has fleas! I personally have been bitten alive in the stingy and old bed. The hotel smells funny, with crazy detergent they use. I would not recommend staying here, unless you don't mind bringing fleas back home.

If you are looking for a solid alternative to the proudly-pricey hotels in L.A., then consider the Claremont. It's in Westwood, right off Wilshire so perfect for UCLA visitors, but also perfectly located for jaunts to Beverly Hills to the east or Santa Monica and the ocean to the west (you can even do this on the best kept secret...
