The staff were really nice and helpful wonderful place to stay at will come back for another family trip
I was coming into town very late and they were cool with checking in at midnight. They were also very accommodating with letting me do a late checkout. I’m glad the ice machine and A/C were working, this was mid to late July, super hot. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. It was the perfect layover to head to Yosemite the next day. Will definitely stay again if I’m ever in the area. Thank you!
It was surprising that they wanted a $100 cash deposit. Nothing was said when I booked the room. Luckily I had that much cash on me. Since they wouldn't take my card or a check 😠
My friend and I were in Merced to attend a large university graduation ceremony. As we were looking for a room with two separate beds as advertised on the website, we understood why those rooms were not available. Thank you for your efforts to accommodate our 1-night stay after a long drive from LA to Merced.
First of all as I was booking my one night there the dates got changed I noticed right after I booked it I instally called the hotel an then were I booked it through hotels com they were great to work with but for the owners of the place we're not so great it was a mistake that happened we haven't got back that money for the wrong date they took my money an we even booked it for the right night now for the stay The out side of the hotel was beautiful but as we went to bed the sheets were horrible I took a shower there was noth8ng to wash with went to dry off an had black hair all over me someone else hiar l,I couldn't even sleep I was disgusted with it all but it was late an we had been driving all day long places like this shouldn't be taking people moneys an hire people that are clean an keep things clean an keep there cloths sepreat from the hotels things
Poor, outdated conditions, our non smoking room smelled just the opposite. Dirty walls, dirty bathroom, water would not heat up. I only stayed there because it was late and had no other choice.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
There was a mouse in our room. Changed to another room and that room did not have light bulbs in it. You could hear the train go by , znd the bed was very soft and old.
Wet bad neighborhood. Horrible bed.. Looked like addicts all around. I couldn’t stay and forfeited the charge. Was afraid to leave my truck unattended in the parking lot
