the staff was very friendly the room was very clean and bed was like sleeping on cloud 9 i want to sleep all day on it. manger she was very super nice and very helpful too help you. and plan on returning again. i would recomend it too any body going stay in stockton for place toostay at it 5 star hotel.

I will never stay at another Howard Johnson's after this stay. Numerous problems, front door would not lock, had to have maintaintence man come to get it to lock. Had to insert room key card in the lock when leaving the room to get the door to lock? No towels in the room had to call the desk at 9:00PM to get towels. No clock in the room. No cups in the room. Telephone did not work, had to mess with the cord for about 5 minutes trying to get a dial tone when the door would not lock and again when I discovered there were no towels in the room. T.V. had linited channels, no controller, and had a large accumulation of dust all around the T.V. Desk in the room had no electrical connection within 10 feet. The room had a very strange oder like a cheap deodrant. Room furnishings very cheep and not very comfortable. but the real topper was a big wad of hair stuck to the wall of the shower/tub, a real turn off.

Our project in Stockton just started, we have to choose a place to stay for more than 10 weeks. This time, my boss asked us to find a cheaper hotel, rather than University Plaza Hotel. I've visited Howard Johnson Inn before making a decision. There is a group of girls working at the front desk, they seem so happy with their job, I believe happy employees bring excellent service. It is true, even though it is just an economic Bed&Breakfast hotel, we still got excellent full service: clean room, nice towels, free breakfast, free wi-fi, pool, iron, coffee, refridge, microwave, soda machine, snack machine, guest laundry, icemachine, even city map, plus, one fronkt desk girl told me they will offer movie DVD soon.
My colleagues forgot to bring many things, such as toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, phone charge, they all got them from front desk.
I like this hotel, affordable price, nice enviroment, good location and good service.
The only inconvinience I have to say is the elevator is too far away from the room I live, I have to pull my luggage to walk a few hundred feet to elevator, then walk another hundred feet to my room.
