I was quite impressed with Claremont Motor Lodge. The property has really come a long way. We stayed for 2 nights, and went to NY for 3 nights, and returned to this place for 2 more nights. Our room was perfect; it was super clean, beds were comfortable, a/c worked great (it was hot when we were there), fridge was cold, microwave worked, shower was good. I asked if we could get the same room for our return a few nights later and they were able to honor my request, which I really appreciated. I have to say, the manager, I believe his name is Rakesh… the man doesn’t stop working! From sun up to sun down, he was tending to the property; from filling in cracks in the parking lot, to the exterior paint, to the sweet little garden in the back… kudos to him and his hard work! And he is friendly too! He was so sweet to my son, just a delight. I only had 1 small complaint: our room only had 2 towels, and I was there with my 2 kids. On my last night, I brought my used damp towel to the office to swap it out for a fresh towel so my son could take a shower. I didn’t get an extra towel, I swapped a used one with Rakesh. A couple of hours after checking out, someone from the hotel (not Rakesh) called me and said “the extra towel you got isn’t here”, and I explained “I didn’t get an EXTRA towel, I swapped it. Ask the manager!” This bothered me for hours, so I called back and they confirmed they went back and saw me on camera bringing a towel in. That call and accusation was a bit offensive.
