Very friendly staff starting with the valet. Parked my over sized van for me with a smile. Front desk was great. Pointed me to a few great restaurants only a couple minutes walk away. Room was much better than I thought. Big tv and very comfortable bed and pillows. Shower could have had a little more power but was nice. Will definitely return if business brings me back.

El Capitan was a great place for my daughter and I to stay while she was making a campus visit to UC Merced. It was easy to find off the freeway but far enough away to not be inundated with road noise. We loved the artwork and furnishings, and the rooms had everything we needed for an overnight stay. The staff were helpful and friendly and the area around the hotel had an old town charm with various shops and wall murals to decorate our ambulations.
