Stayed herre with the wife and kids at Christmas as I am from Stockton originally but my parents have down-sized and don't have room for four more people. This is always my second choice to the Residence Inn (which is adjacent). This hotel is clean, comfortable, the staff is courteous and the breakfast buffet is good. Being from Stockton, I can tell you that the town can be a dangerous place, and car thetfs/break-ins are quite common. But we have never had any problem whatsoever in about 10 stays in this area of town over the years. It is in the well-heeled suburb of Brookside just west of the 5 freeway and away from any riff-raff you might encounter elsewhere. I notice a lot of people ragging on Stockton in their reviews but it is a growing town and socio-economically it is starting to improve (better restaurants, lower crime) but it is still not a place I want to live ever again. Visiting is fine, and if you do, stay at either Marriott with confidence.
