"I needed a place to stay in Merced at short notice and I was able to book here and front desk staff were really helpful, 2 negatives were the breakfast menu didn’t have gluten free options, which didn’t suit me personally, and the noise of the freeway traffic and freight trains about 50 yards away was the hotel, apart from that rooms have everything you need especially fridge, ceiling fan and air conditioner for the hot weather"

"Accommodations were very good as expected. The only downgrade would be the breakfast room. The regular coffee was gone when I arrived at 7:00am, tried the OJ, but it was thin and actually created a burning sensation in my mouth. Had to go to the nearby restroom to rinse out."
