The Hotel Lodi is a three story L-shaped unreinforced masonry structure in the Renaissance Revival style. It was said to have been modeled after the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco.

At the time of its construction, the Hotel Lodi was the most lavish building in the city and the region as a whole. There were no other structures to match its scale in all of northern San Joaquin County.
