"Very nice weather at this time, fair price, clean rooms, free parking, friendly personnel and one of the good things I like a lot is when the person at the front desk told me that we have a 10 % off when we eat at Denny's restaurant just across the parking lot if we show them the key of our room"

“The hotel positions itself as a practical basecamp for Yosemite expeditions and family visits in Merced. I noted the expected free breakfast and pet-friendly rooms, plus some mentions of attentive service that stood out amid otherwise budget-focused feedback. It seems a reasonable choice for travelers prioritizing function and location over luxury.”
