Disliked: Cleanliness
Cleanliness: saw a roach and a fly in the room. My sister and her kids were getting bit by something in their room. Staff & service: nice staff, happily accommodated me for late check in Property conditions: some parts of the walls just looked run down and old Area: kind of secluded, which can be a good thing but food places were a drive away. It’s a small city so not too bad

It served it'd purpose. Bed was comfortable, TV worked, and AC worked. New hotels need to build away from highways, always noisy. Maybe this helps keep prices under $200 a night, for 6-hours of use lol.

There are stains and 4 long hairs on the bed sheet. At night time, when the guests on the 2 floor walked, the noses could wake you up. This should be my last time staying in this place.

Room was decent, it can use more cleaning as there was dust all around. The pillow sheets had hair, one of them had a small dead bug. The carpet floor in the corner of the bed was dirty and there was a roach (it seemed like they had not bother to clean that area). Front desk staff were nice, once I mentioned about the pillow covers a lady came to change them. Overall, good size of room.

Good hotel

The room was clean. Bed was comfortable. Desk staff very friendly and helpful. There’s some noise from the highway- ear plugs took care of that. The breakfast was just cereal and packaged pastries, which gave us the perfect excuse to go out for breakfast. Highly recommend Toni’s Courtyard Cafe in Merced. Great eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy.
