Courtyard Stockton

Thanks

Just a one night stay enroute by car going north on I-5 after Yosemite. Although evening staff, like Aaron, are superbly helpful (great restaurant recommendation) and good overall attitude, the hotel room and some other issues with the property reminded me why I don't stay at Courtyard anymore. I should have heeded my own advice and paid extra for another Marriott property which includes newer features and has complimentary breakfast. The prices charged for breakfast here are unacceptably high. But at least parking is free. Stockton Courtyard is reasonably located and especially helpful in terms of looking for other restaurants to have breakfast (rather than the hotel). The lobby looks renovated, and hallways seem to be so as well. Rooms, however, are very "old school". My pet peeve is shower curtains used in shower/tub combo bathrooms. Yuk! Hopefully these will be ripped out and replaced with clear plastic shower only choices. Towels here are just barely average, for price paid. And the teeny tiny one person sink, with no real area to set down your dop kit, is a real downer. At least the air conditioner worked and was quiet. Fitness room is pretty good overall. I was able to get in a good workout. Unfortunately the pool area is closed currently for renovation. That was somewhat disappointing.

Great stay Provided a convenient centralized location for our trip. Room was clean, comfortable and the staff was amazingly friendly! Night shift Troy, bartender Sarah M were stand-outs! The only opportunity is to have complimentary coffee in the morning. This is one of the few hotels that doesn’t.

Friendly

Room is nice but there is a very loud buzz Nextdoor that is a bit annoying, but otherwise great place to stay.
