Fairfield Inn & Suites Stockton Lathrop

Better than average Aside from the lingering smell of bleach in the bathroom, the shower door that kept rolling open, and the room being right next to the stairs (and therefore occasionally noisy with foot traffic), it was a nice room, good pillows, etc. Staff are friendly. Checkout time is great. Breakfast was slightly above par. The fitness room / gym is fantastic. I don’t know who thinks these in-room coffee makers are great - many hotels have them now - the single-serve coffee filter packets and the little plastic filter trays - they are the worst, and they make the grossest-tasting coffee. I’d rather have instant coffee and a water kettle/boiler.

I enjoy the hot tub every time I stay at this hotel but don't like the view of the freeway. Wished there were palm trees to obscure the view of the freeway. This would make it look tropical and make pictures taken in the hot tub look like a vacation resort.

The power went out about 9:00 pm. used emergency lighting to find the stairway and get down to the lobby. Fire dept. was there helping to rescue someone stuck in the elevator. Front desk person suggested everyone go to another hotel for the night. Fire Dept. said it was safe to stay so we went back to our room and tried to sleep. Very unnerving.
