Staff were friendly and check in process was easy. The location is sketchy, we saw women walking in and out of the premise with just a handbag, we rented 2 rooms, one of them with a distinctive smell of pets mixed with waste, the other one with a scent of cigarettes and marijuana unventilated... Just stinks and miserable!! Cockroach everywhere, on the wall, on the floor, I had to farewell the one on the floor!!! Unfortunately, it was a last min reservation, I didn't have time to read the reviews nor found an accomodations which had 2 rooms available and was <6 miles away from UC Merced, except this motal 6. I would NOT return because the filthiness of the rooms and comfort level is just an nightmare and sickening! I hope the housekeeping quality can be improved.
