BREAKFAST IS AWESOME. Fresh waffles, coffee etc. Basic but perfect. What I liked the most is that its a family run hotel. The whole family is very nice and respectful. If you need anything they go it for you. Very nice family. Also the maid service is exceptional. The rooms are absolutely clean and the property itself is well taken care of. The area is very quit. Even though it is right by the freeway. Also the parking lot is very safe. No strange people hanging about like the other motels and hotels around here. I can leave my 15 year old alone here no problem. I give this place a 20 star rating. And i would recommend this place to everyone out there that's coming to Merced to stay here. And I'm telling everyone in my family as well. Thank you to the Family and the staff. I appreciate everything you've done for My son and I. God Bless you guys. p.s. the pool is open too.
Absolutely nothing. There is nothing i would of changed. I loved staying there.

The room was suitable for one night passing through town. The room itself was a decent size and had all the typical amenities. AC worked well, the shower had good water pressure and the beds were comfortable.
Minimal breakfast options The pool didn't look very clean

Bed, it was comfortable and had enough pillows, and that let us check in earlier. Thank you for that!
Bathroom, was a bit outdated, and the shower was very small.

tho the rooms have some age on them they were functional and well maintained. Bed was nice, linens clean. For it's price it did everything we needed.
Just one regular coffee packet in room and one decaf. would have been nice to to have two of each. They did have coffee made in office so no big deal.

Friendly reception, really comfy bed and modern stylish rooms, look like they’d been refurbed recently and were properly clean.
Yes it’s close to a busy road but the sound proofing does do a fair job of muffling it
