Resort Fee for No Reasons
I have been staying at this hotel for any years, bit now I consider staying somewhere else. The $20/ day resort fee for absolutely no reason is a bit too much, especially when it doesn’t even open their workout room until 8am. Business people work at 8am, they can’t go to the gym in the morning if they’re open at 8am. The staff is fantastic though!

Thumbs up from me.
Whenever I stay in Stockton I always try to stay at this hotel. In my opinion it's the nicest hotel in Stockton. The rooms are nice size, clean and has most everything youll need for a nice stay. The only thing I have negative to say about the rooms is that they dont give you tea with the in room coffee service. Other than that I definitely give it a thumbs up.

Quick stay was great. Updated nice looking Hotel. Nice bar and grill area with good food and drinks. Courtyard has lots of room for large groups. Fireplaces in some of the sitting areas. Had some decent pizza. Theres also a small restaurant at the end of the bar. Arena is right across the street. Front desk is quick and efficient. Early check-in may be a no go.

Stayed overnight for an event across the street. Check in was quick but parking, across the street, was pretty hard. Lots of vehicles taking multiple spots to accommodate. Room was clean and appears to have been remodeled. However, the AC was limited to 68 degrees in our room. Pillows were slightly uncomfortable. The $20 resort fee is ridiculous but it was part of the price to be close to the Arena next door. The bar area was messy and disorganized. The bartenders appeared tired as they hardly smiled at the customers. Overall, I would stay again for an overnight stay if the event is next door at the arena. Also, the other hotel selections nearby are awful.

Overnight Stay
My husband and I had an overnight stay for a wedding.
Pros: Clean room, clean bathroom, complete toiletries in bathroom
Cons: dark room; only an entrance light, bathroom light and two bedside lamps. Room is in the ground floor; however unable to open curtains without being seen from the outside. Restaurant area was not sufficiently staffed.
For the price, lack of coffee in the room (only 2 packets provided) and no complimentary bottled water.
Swimming pool under repair.
Other comment: it appears that certain sections of the hotel allocated for student housing.
