I stay here on business an average of 2-3 times per month - sometimes for one night - sometimes a week. Here's my thoughts after several visits to date since Summer 2010.

PRO:
***** Location - If you're doing business or personal stuff in Manteca, Tracy, Stockton or Ripon - you can't beat the location - right off I-5 and Louise. It's a short skip over to 99 via 120 as well --- There are several restaurants in immediate walking distance including fast food (Mc Donalds, Carls, Jack in Box, A & W) and Quiznos, a mexican place and Mountain Mikes Pizza. Also in the back are Dennys, Taco Bell and a wings place/bar/club which is pretty friendly and fun as well --- 24 Hour fitness is down Louise about 5 miles direct and there's an InShape at 120/99 as well.

***** Service - Front desk people are friendly and competent. They are extremely accommodating with room location and working things out if you have noisy neighbors or need to cut your visit short unexpectedly - the breakfast is average but for the great rates and free food - it's fine - and if you don't like it there's plenty of options nearby.

***** Weight Room - often open past 10 if you're quiet and the front desk is cool about it!

***** Room Size - rooms are big and nice for a family - Rooms have microwaves and fridges which is very nice

CON:
***** Location - You can hear the freeway on the west side of the hotel but not so much it's unbearable ---- Parking lot could use some better lighting and roadwork in especially from the Carls JR side of the lot - watch out for some street damage.

***** Rooms - Ok - lets be honest - for the great rates compared to other local options, you shouldn't expect a lot of amenities. My only wish would be for larger and at least better operating TVs ---- Internet - is so-so - but again it's free and wireless - i've had worse at more expensive hotels but better at same priced ones as well --- The fridges are great to have but be sure you check the temp before putting anything in them!

We just stayed here for my son's baseball tournament and found it to be very nice. Great pool/ hot tub. We were surprised to see a steam/sauna in the workout room too. The rooms had a small fridge/microwave, and the beds were very comfortable. Nice breakfast too! Will for sure stay here again when we come back for more baseball!

We stayed here for the second time as we could not find anywhere suitable in Stockton for our son's baseball team. I have mostly good things to say- The pool is nice, rooms are ok, breakfast was good and well taken care of. Location is good for Manteca and not too bad for Stockton (15 minutes or so). The problem we had on this trip was with the fact that the management left the entire administration of a booked Hotel on a weekend in the hands of one overwhelmed young lady (who was very sincere & polite-doing her best). We booked two different rooms at different rates- one a two room suite & one regular room. At check-in we were given two identical rooms even though the rate for one was $20 higher than the other. It took an hour & multiple phone calls to resolve this issue. When we and other guests called to ask about extra bedding & rollaways , we were told that she didn't have the key to the locked room that it was all in. The next night (Saturday) we watched from the pool as she was menaced by a man who wanted a $100 cash refund from an earlier stay and wouldn't take no for an answer. She was all alone again- we asked if she needed help, but finally he left. Again- she was all alone on a busy weekend night.

Very clean, nice amenities, good looking building, phone in bathroom, 4 fast food joints within seconds ( 100 steps away? Seriously!), awkward to get into if coming west off Louise but very easy coming off freeway. See my photos for room details :)
