From Check-in to Time of Check-out: The service was consistently excellent throughout the entire duration. The initial impression: The check-in process was fast, friendly, and efficient. No long waits, no confusion just a smooth, welcoming start to my stay. The final impression: The check-out was equally hassle-free (no surprise charges or lengthy paperwork), leaving me with a great final memory, not a stressful one. Impeccable Standards: The room was pristine upon arrival and maintained that way daily fresh linens, a perfectly made bed, and a sparkling bathroom. Attention to Detail: They tidied up my personal items (within reason), replaced toiletries without you asking, and timed the cleaning perfectly so it didn't interrupt my day. No one wants to hear a vacuum at 5:00 AM if they're trying to sleep in! Top-Tier Amenities: There was a beautiful pool area, a well-equipped and clean fitness center, a comfortable lobby where you could actually relax, and always have fast Wi-Fi. Thoughtful Touches: There was complimentary coffee/tea stations, lovely landscaping, or high-quality toiletries in the bathroom. It's the little things, like finding a tiny chocolate on your pillow or having plenty of fluffy towels, that elevate a stay from good to great. In short: The staff was on their game, the room was spotless, and the property provided genuinely useful and great amenities.

Lovely hotel and we had a lovely time. Restaurant and bar are delightful. Staff are helpful and rooms are just great. If you want feedback Pillows are pretty to look at but flatten too quickly. Many hotels seem to be moving to this type of pillow. It’s no fun. I miss pillows that have some support and substance. Hallway carpet by elevators smells like mildew. It might be hard to air that out

Overall, the property was fine. I've stayed there on two separate occasions, so I am a repeat customer. The property is clean, and free parking in their lot. There don't seem to be many choices for decent hotel in that area. One surprise was having to pay a resort fee ($20/night), separate from the Expedia booking. So my credit card was charged by the property in addition to the Expedia charge. I assume the resort fee was mentioned in the fine print, but I do feel somewhat misled. Perhaps Expedia could include that charge in their booking fee, so the cost is presented as one charge at the time of booking and not two separate charges. I always feel these resort fees and separate charges in general are disingenuous. This resort fee is not unique to this hotel, but reflects the general practice of the industry as a whole. Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised by resort fees these days. Rather, I should be surprised if properties don't charge a resort fee.

Hôtel and staff were decent. However, there needs to be security in the common area close to the pool. Was a hot night, a game of 1 on 1 football commenced, balls flying everywhere, inconveniencing guests and language was not great either. The environment was not great for families.

It’s been years since I’ve booked here, but when I did back in early 2010s there’s always been an issues with booking thru a 3rd party. When you get to property confirming payment his a few snags bc the card numbers don’t match, making attendant have to do some back ended verification before proceeding with check in. I thought this issues would’ve been resolved after so many years, but to no avail. Aside from that. AMAZING STAY!! Great friendly and patient staff.

Over all you can not beat the price anywhere in Stockton if your looking for comparable main hotel chains rooms.
The court yard ( at night) is big and very well kept  . Therer are fee outdoor ping pong, pool tables and out door lounge furniture.
My Service dog Little Bit loves staying here and it is very dog friendly.
