Stockton Stop Over
Team members were very nice and helpful. My remote for the TV stopped working and a replacement was provided within a few minutes of my call to the front desk.
The food in the restaurant was excellent.

We have always had a great experience at the Waterfront. I really wish they had a points system like the chain hotels. This hotel is convenient, safe, and close to family making it my #1 choice always.

A fine spot to stay for work with free parking and meeting space. Nice outdoor courtyard. Did not seem overly walker-friendly.
