[Identification of item], Minnie's Hotel (Stockton, Calif.) Records, Mss16, Holt-Atherton
Department of Special Collections, University of the Pacific Library
Minnie's Hotel opened for business at 28 South Center Street, Stockton, Calif. in 1951.
The business was operated from the first by Mrs. Minnie McLane--later Dugger (1954), then
Palmer (1964). This establishment, located in an old, run-down neighborhood, catered
chiefly to agricultural workers and transients. Rooms were seventy-five cents a night
there at a time when the middle class considered Motel 6's six dollars per night rates a
true bargain. The Minnie Hotel ceased operation in 1965.
This collection consists of scattered business papers of the proprietress and nine years'
worth of the Minnie Hotel register.
