Holiday Inn Express & Suites Lathrop by IHG

The price was so reasonable, my brother and I did not have great expectations. The location was great. Close to freeway and all kinds of restaurants and stores. We were so happy with how cofortable the beds were. We each had our own room; front desk person accommodated us by giving my brother a room on first floor. This was important; we are late 70s. The pool was perfect.

Overall a decent stay. We had a suite with 2 beds, one in a separate room. The room and sheets were clean, the towels were spares but they did replace them when requested. The bathroom had some interesting fixes to the tub faucet and a treated sheet of wood for the liner, but it wasn't bad and the water pressure was decent. The bag breakfast was decent with a lot of options and would fill you up. The cable was patchy, but the wifi worked fine when we used it. What we did NOT like was 2 things: 1. How strict the pool rules were when it came to use but was open late, 10pm (perk). 2. All the weed smokers, it was nasty. People were smoking in their cars right outside our room, and excessively. Also people smoked weed outside their rooms behind the decorative wall lining the walkway. If they enforced the no smoking weed policy and had a hot breakfast, would bump to a 5 star.

Positive: It is an older building and has been updated well and it was very clean! All the staff were knowledgable and were helpful. I really do not have a complaint. The biggest thing was it was extremely clean, I was really impressed with that. Negative: ""
