Fairfield Inn & Suites Stockton Lathrop

Stayed here one night on our way to Southern California. It is a recently built hotel with several major design flaws. The worst is the extremely loud a/c unit located as usual under the window. It roars away non stop and turning it “off” at the thermostat makes no difference. I texted the front desk to ask how to turn it off and they replied that you can’t. They said it is the only way to get air in the room and would I like earplugs. In my experience hotels that offer earplugs generally have a problem they can’t solve. Also the rooms are built like long, narrow shoe boxes with thin walls. We had two tvs in our room, one on each room. I’m sure the neighbors did too and we could hear them well into the night. They were probably using them to drown out the a/c unit. There were other issues like the unbelievably loud floor ice machine sitting in a nook in the wall and the noise from the adjacent highway. There are other Marriotts in the area and we will never return to this one.
