Fodor's Expert Review Casa 425

This boutique inn on a corner opposite the College Heights Lemon Packing House entertainment and shopping complex is the most attractive lodging option in Claremont Village. The lounge here hosts a European-style breakfast buffet in the morning and a lively tapas bar in the evening (live music in summer). In fine weather, that same lounge expands into a courtyard with fountains, fire pits, and dining areas. Rooms, done in a simple mid-century modern style, are spacious. Some have glorious soaking tubs, and all have outdoor seating or private balconies.
