The bathroom ceiling had mold and cracks, the doors and walls and surfaces were very dirty, the elevator was broken, the walls are super thin so you can hear every footstep above you and every convo around you. Then they have the audacity to charge $100 deposit which is $20 more than the cost of the room. I have stayed at other hotels in Merced for the same price and they were clean and fine so I didn’t think this one would be so bad but it was one of the worst motels I have ever stayed in.

Worst hotel ever. Cheap maintenance. I went with my family for a night and I got disgusted with in so many ways. First the clerk asked me to swupe credit card for depaoit, which I did twice and he said it was declined but my bank showed transaction went through 3 times. Inspite of me showing the transaction he asked me what is my CC limit, very odd. 2nd, elevator did not work so we had ro go up 3 floors with luggage. 3rd room key did not work, so I came down and the guy tried and he said thw key card machine is not woking. It was night 1am and was tierd figuring out their technical issues. Finally he said I will.open with master key so I can get in. 4th, found two cockroaches, at that point ignored and slept. 5th issue, next day morning, no hor water, called front desk and said he told maintwnance and asked me to wait 10 minutes. 6th issue, Breakfast is a joke. I just left the hotel and told the clerk But he didn't care much. Stay away from this hotel.

The elevator wasn’t working and I have difficulty using stairs. The person behind the desk is seldom there and there is no bell to get their attention. Also, why is the swimming pool boarded up?
