Top Stockton Hotel Reviews

University Plaza Waterfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was great. The room was perfect. Parking was easy. The staff was great. The restaurant and bar were awesome. Loved my stay. Will be back."

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Stockton

8/10 Good

"I had a pleasant stay at La Quinta Inn. The breakfast was very good, with a wide variety of options, including waffles, scrambled eggs, chorizo, a selection of breads, coffee, apple juice, and orange juice. Patty, who worked in the breakfast area, was especially friendly, helpful, and did an excellent job keeping everything stocked and clean. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. However, the exterior of the property could use some additional upkeep. Also, the night receptionist was not very friendly, which made the check-in experience less welcoming. Overall, I had a good stay, and Patty’s outstanding customer service made a positive impression."
