El Capitan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

FairBridge Inn & Suites Merced/Gateway to Yosemite

10/10 Excellent

"This small/cozy property is one of the prettiest & most unique properties in Merced. It's our #1 choice unless all booked. The landscape is lovely with olants & flowers & the Mediterranean decoration theme is an added beauty. U will feel like u're in a meditation paradise. The rooms are always very clean & well kept from non-sticky, flawless floors, clean linens to bathrooms. Always our #1 choice in Merced!"

PACIFIC EXPRESS INN

10/10 Excellent

"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!"

Motel 6 Merced, CA - North

10/10 Excellent

"It was overall a great stay but my 1st room had a smoke detector beeping every 10-15 seconds and was very loud. I couldn't relax with the sound as it was ear-piercing. Told lady at the front desk and she said it was normal for it to do that. Knowing how a smoke detector works I told her no it's not, it's a low battery sound, can you please fix it. She said the same thing again about it being normal so I requested a new room which was given to me. No other rooms had alarms doing that. So I didn't like the fact that I was told something to me that was totally untrue and that I had to deal with it through the night. If I wouldn't have gotten a new room I'd have asked for a refund and went to the nearest Motel. Overall everything was cool and I was thankful that I got a new room to sleep comfortably. I got the room due to me having stress as the highway 99 was terrible that day 7/3/25 and I got bad anxiety from driving and had to stop. My route from Sacramento to Bakersfield would have taken a total of over 8 hours to drive. Thank you Motel 6 for accommodating me for that night. I slept great!! "

Peaceful and Clean in Merced California

2/10 Terrible

"I never got the chance to enter the property. I have reserved a room from Expedia with confirmation in app and in emails. But the host friendly declined me at the door saying that they never saw my reservation. The host also friendly invited me to sleep in another room without a bed but I decided to find a hotel in this area instead."
