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!

My friend and I were in Merced to attend a large university graduation ceremony. As we were looking for a room with two separate beds as advertised on the website, we understood why those rooms were not available. Thank you for your efforts to accommodate our 1-night stay after a long drive from LA to Merced.
