    On our paranormal tour. I think this place is amazing. It's beautiful and very historic.

    Jane is amazing and so knowledgeable. Staying here also keeps this museum running. It's an important piece of history and more people should come if even just to stay the weekend.

    The back of the Hill House, much less ornate than the front which was typical of Victorian homes.

    I stumbled across this gem while researching what else I could do in Lodi besides the amazing antiques faire on October 6 (a semi-annual event that is also totally worth the drive if you are far away). I needed a break from the city I live in, and I also needed to visit a museum as a requisite for a docent tour guide program I am participating in for Oakland's own amazing Victorian, the Camron-Stanford House. Where do I start? The house is apparently the only Victorian House in California to have all of its original exterior and interior, including all of the items from furniture, clothing, photos, and knick-knacks. The tour guide, Lynn B. took us on a tour that lasted 2 hours but felt like 2 minutes because he told the story as if he knew the Hill family personally (he was actually the paperboy for Maurice Hill, who lived in the house from the beginning to the end of his life). It was amazing. There is no website, and the house is only open Sundays from 1-4. Like the last review, if you can make it during this time, DO IT. You will not regret it. The reason there is no charge for tours is because the house is operated solely on the family's trust fund, and a reason for its originality is because it has not been touched by the state or the national regulations that would be imposed if it were made a landmark. It seems to be a secret because of this, but there is enough foot traffic to keep tours going. The reason for it being open only one day a week for the 3 hours is because there aren't enough docents to do tours. If I lived in Lodi or around there, I would definitely be a docent there. What more could I say? I feel lucky to have been able to make it to Lodi from Oakland on a whim, and purchased a few items from the house like an autographed music sheet from Maurice Hill himself (he was a multi-talented musician/poet) and a volume of 'Lodi Historian' which is a local publication about the history of the area. The total was only $4.50 but I paid $10 because why not? I got a very enriching tour thanks to Lynn and my brain has some good information about the Victorian Era that I can pass on to visitors at Camron-Stanford. P.S. I also had time to visit the San Joaquin County Historical Museum which was also in town, which is also incredibly great. Contrary to John Fogerty's song about Lodi, there was plenty to do and see on a Sunday afternoon.

    The amazing vinyl player that STILL works !

    So much beauty in this old house, and I'm glad I was able to volunteer here and help others learn more about the Hill family and their home.

A nonrefundable fee of 150.00 for stays 7 or more nights), provides free WiFi, has free parking and free use of the washer and dryer. This location shares the same parking lot as Holiday Inn Express (that is also dog friendly by the way). There is no breakfast provided but the rooms have a full kitchen with necessary pot and silverware and a full size fridge with freezer. The room that my husband, our little girl and I stayed in was quite spacious with a large enough bathroom. I liked that there was Dove branded shower wash, shampoo and conditioner available in the shower stall (and also a Dove branded hand soap dispenser by the sink). The only thing I don't like about the bathroom is that the door closes automatically and would prefer not to have to reopen it every time I need to go into the bathroom (but that is minor and am sure others would not find this annoying). Service from employees that I have interacted with the employees here are friendly. There is a small gym on site that has a water dispenser available and disinfectant wipes made available. Outside on the back side of the hotel are grills with a nice covered seating area. There is a also a poop bag dispenser for those walking their pups. Overall, we had a comfortable stay and most likely will stay at this location again when staying in Lodi (which is pretty regularly).

    I was trying to decide between staying here or back at the University Plaza Waterfront (I have…read morestayed there once before) near the Stockton Arena. After seeing the pictures here, I decided to cancel my reservation for the University Waterfront because this place seemed more secluded and they have the good brekkie, lol. The room I had was on the 1st floor, very convenient without having to wait for the elevator. It was clean and had no bed bugs that I could see, YAY for that alone! I was too afraid to try that ironing trick that's trending on TikTok and IG, so I didn't do it. If I can't see anything upon close inspection, I'll take it!! I woke up the next day feeling well rested and no bed bug bites, so double win there! Breakfast was good, but I think the pancake machine needs to be adjusted because the pancakes seemed a tad undercooked. They serve it daily from 6 to 9 am, so if you go towards the end, you likely will miss most of the good hot stuff. I didn't catch the bacon (if they had any), but I did get 1 sausage and left the other 2 behind. They still had 3 cheese egg omelets, but I didn't take one. Everything tasted great. The room was a comfortable size and the convenience of having the mini fridge and microwave always comes in handy. The bathtub was dated, but it serves its purpose. I like that they have Dove toiletries, including hand soap and lotion. I HATE those little bar soaps hotels usually have by the sink. I bring my own foaming hand soap but didn't have to this time. They also have a fitness center, laundry facilities and a swimming pool and jacuzzi. Parking is free, and there is plenty of it. Service was also great as Manuel took good care of me when I called in a few days ahead to see if I could check in earlier than the usual 3pm standard check in time. I didn't see him when I checked in, but I met him checking out. Cool guy, cool vibes, and I told him I would tell people to stay here, lol. The other 2 ladies I encountered the day I checked in were super nice as well. I highly recommend the Holiday Inn Express in Lodi if you're looking for a place to stay in the area. It's near shops and restaurants and didn't seem ghetto to me. It's like a level above Stockton area (or so I was told by a friend). I told Manuel I'd be back one day, so tune in for my next check in.. til then, don't take my Duchess title away, lol!

    I'm currently staying here and need to write this review NOW. I am not happy about the COLD shower…read moreI just had to take. It's 44° here. I was looking forward to a relaxing hot, or at least warm shower. The water ran for several minutes without getting any hotter even though it was turned all the way to the hottest setting. This place isn't that big. They should have plenty of hot water for all of the rooms. I've stayed at huge hotels in Las Vegas and the water got HOT. There's no excuse for this. The tub was also dirty/stained and the towels are a dingy white. We've only been here one night with one more night to go. If I didn't book via Southwest Hotels using points, I would be down stairs trying to get some sort of refund back and I would also leave and go stay in a different hotel. Another thing, all the power went off last night about 10pm as we were arriving back. It didn't come back on until this morning. I woke up at 6:11am to lights on in our room. This probably wasn't their fault as the power was off on entire street on both sides. Just giving a heads up to anyone who might want to stay here as I don't know how often this is an issue. EDIT: my husband just brought up a good point... the power was out for 8 hours so most likely this was a PLANNED power outage to do work around here. If that's the case, the hotel would have known about it and should have said such when we checked in. We are going down to talk to the front desk about it now. EDIT #2: we talked to the front desk... The girl admitted that it WAS a planned outage. Very unethical to not tell your patrons and continue taking their money to stay there knowing this was the case. The girl said she would have a manager call us. She also claimed it would not happen again. We were so miffed and didn't want to take the chance that we ended up leaving and renting a room elsewhere. I have since put it a claim with Southwest to get my points back and to not vouch for this place. By the way; I NEVER received a call from anyone at Best Western to try and rectify the issue.
