The Fairmont Claremont. Had not been back to the Claremont since Fairmont took it over. Big changes. We used to love the restaurant-lobby level at the entrance. We also enjoyed the Meritage - which no longer exists. If the young man at the front desk was correct - the restaurant is not open to the public. So for dining, you have choice of a) lobby bar, b.) Limewood ( what?!) or c.) Room service. Our room was very nice... however, in looking out the window at the requested Bay-view, the dastardly black mold on the side of the building (6th floor) it was bad form. Caution we ordered room service- the kale and mushroom pizza had a fabulous crust- charred kale and a tiny sprinkle of mushrooms. $18 before tip. Lovely amenities.
