American Legion Ed Stewart Post No 803

I would not recommend renting this hall. We had my Mom's 70th party here. I did not receive a copy of the contract, which was bad on my part. I should have known better. However, I did receive receipts for every transaction. In my profession I document everything, so I thought my documentation of all transactions would suffice. When I went in to make arrangements to rent the hall I completed all paper work with Nikki. I was told our deposit of $150 would be returned if we left the hall clean and nothing damaged. At the end of our event we all cleaned and asked Nikki for her approval. She checked the bathroom for any damage and inspected the hall. She verbally told me everything looked fine and I would receive my deposit in one week. The following day I received a phone call from Nikki stating five of the to go containers were used by our party. I apologized profusely and told her I would happily go to Costco and purchase a brand new pack of containers to replace the ones used. They count everything at this hall, I mean every spoon, knife, and fork. I was not surprised that she knew the amount of containers used. I went to Costco the following day and purchased the pack with a quantity of 100 for $12.91. I let the hall keep the whole pack rather than just replacing what was used. When I picked up the deposit check. The check was only for $100. I asked her why the check was not $150. She stated that $50 is applied toward janitorial fees, and that the "contract" states you will receive $100 back. What a joke!!! I went home and looked at my notes (document, document, document) and I had it written down $150 returned deposit from the original quote I received from Nikki. However, it was a waste of my time to go back and argue over $50. We payed $775 in total to rent this hall. There are many other venues to give your business to in Stockton. I would much rather do business with honest and trustworthy people. People that will not try and nickle and dime you for $50. I will state once again; I would not recommend renting this hall.

This is a private club. You must be a member or a guest of a member to enjoy the benefits. I''v rented the Hall in the past for a private birthday party. It was enough room for the 60 guests that attended. I love the special attention we were offered for setting up early to giving us enough time to clean up afterwards. As a member of the Auxiliary I highly recommend the business for hall rentals and special events. We honor our Veteran's and thank all who are serving and have served.
