    Hubby and I stayed here for our first wedding anniversary. We stayed in the Water Tower Suite, and it was lovely! Lani and Richard are wonderful people....their hospitality is unmatched! Lani is an amazing cook as well...I miss her superb breakfasts. Everything about our stay was excellent, from the comfy robes in our room to the board games in the parlor. The Inn at Locke House has a very interesting history...it was fun reading about the restoration process of the house alongside the history of Dr. Locke. I can't wait to stay here again. Cheers to Lani and Richard! L and L - 1/29/2012

    This was a repeat visit to the Inn and like every visit it was better than the last. Lani and Richard make you feel at home. The Inn is a wonderful place to relax. And breakfast is always a delightful time to enjoy good food and good conversation. We highly recommend a stay and get the Tower room at least once.

    Everyone always says B&B owners are gracious, which Richard and Lani are, but they are also just plain nice. Even more fun, they really love the house, which they have been restoring faithfully for the last twenty years, and it has a fine history. Spacious rooms,inventive breakfasts, a lovely garden and games, and definitely one of the better and quieter places to stay if you're going to be in Lodi or Stockton.

    We were there for only one night, arriving late, and leaving early, so this review may not reflect what one might encounter during a longer stay. We learned after our arrival that, while the bathrooms are private and quite nice, some are not in the rooms. For us, this was an inconvenience. We would definitely return to stay in one of the rooms that has an attached bathroom.

    Innkeeper Response
    We so appreciate that you will return.

    My husband and I were so fortunate to find The Inn at Locke House to help in our celebration of our 1st wedding anniversary. Lani, Richard, and Kerri have done a beautiful thing by painstakingly resurrecting the Locke House for travelers to enjoy. It's a beautiful and restful place, and the afternoon snacks and morning breakfast were gourmet! We loved every moment of our stay, and look forward to visiting again :) - Lise and Justin

    Innkeeper Response
    We personally love to celebrate special events and are especially happy when guests choose our inn for their celebrations. We await you for your 2nd anniversary.
