We stayed here for a concert that was at the arena right next door. Location was perfect, parking for the hotel was easy. Room was clean and the property had a nice bar, restaurant and outdoor seating area. We didnt use the pool but it looked nice. There are some transients outside the fenced-in area of the hotel along the river, but none ever bothered anyone or came around the property. Overall we liked it and will definitely stay there again for another concert. Would have liked to have a free breakfast offered but the restaurant there had good breakfast for a decent price.
Mike was super nice! He eased the stressfull day i had.! Even though he was pushing this big cart on his way to his little store, he stopped and helped me. Its a bit pricey but its worth it. Other hotels are a bit low priced, but what can i say, Arrogant front desks, with no customer service skills
The hotel was clean and the staff was great. The location was great. It is an older hotel with a nice remodel. The room only has a desk chair and not a comfort chair. Loved the apartment size fridge but the carpet was badly stained. The courtyard and bar area is amazing . I would stay again.
Stockton is truly a special place! 🤩 This is a great hotel with very devoted employees & the restaurant WONDERFUL! If you are driving in between LA & north, it’s a perfect spot! Full applause for the personnel~ they are lovely!
This is my second time staying at this hotel, and I encountered a few issues during my visit. Upon entering my room, I noticed several large brown water spots on the bathroom floor, which was quite off-putting. I've learned a valuable lesson about my room preferences; it seems that booking a room with a king bed typically results in a view of the parking lot or an uninspiring exterior of the hotel. If you're looking for a lovely view, such as glimpses of the water or the courtyard, it's better to opt for a room with double beds. Despite these issues, my overall stay was quite pleasant. One aspect I appreciated was the housekeeping service, which came around every day to clean the room. This was a welcome change from other places I've stayed at, where service tends to be less frequent during multi-day visits. Overall, I had a nice experience, but I’ll definitely be more mindful of my room choice next time!
