7.6 mi from Merced College

"Valley Inn review Relatively quiet stay the occasional train made quite a racket. The bathroom was clean, but the shower curtain was not long enough to keep water in the shower and the floor got soaked. There’s no bathmat. I had to use an extra towel which I had to request from housekeeping. There is an ashtray in the room. Not sure why if it’s a non-smoking room. There is no trashcan in the bathroom only one by the door. The air-conditioning and heat was adequate. The bed is a little lumpy and...

"friendly helpful"

Rodeway Inn Near University-Gateway to Yosemite

8/10 Good

"Check in was easy as well as parking. The room was a little stuffy when we walked in and it took a little bit to get rid of the lingering odor after we turned the AC on. The bathroom was a different story. It reeked of mold. I opened the window for a little while to make it a little more bearable. The outside of the shower definitely had visible signs of mold, and the floors were not cleaned properly. I noticed quite a few strands of long black curly hair throughout the bathroom floor and in the shower (I have straight red hair). The shower itself also felt very flimsy. The floor kept making a weird popping noise when it was stepped on. The bed was also not that comfortable but overall, we had a bed to sleep in and a place to shower however, don't think I'll be staying here again."
