Top Merced Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn Merced Gateway to Yosemite

2/10 Terrible

"When you walk in to the hotel it smells like smoke, room smelt bad, very outdated. Looked like blood splatter on walls. Lifted covers and looked like dried blood on mattress protector. No sense of care for the front desk people when brought to their attention "

El Capitan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is by far one of the best—if not the best—hotels I’ve ever stayed at. From the doorman to the front desk staff, the housekeeping team, and everyone in between, the service was exceptional. The entire place is welcoming, spotless, calm, and absolutely beautiful. I will definitely be coming back and recommending it to others. This is exactly what hospitality and a great hotel experience should be."
