"Valley Inn review Relatively quiet stay the occasional train made quite a racket. The bathroom was clean, but the shower curtain was not long enough to keep water in the shower and the floor got soaked. There’s no bathmat. I had to use an extra towel which I had to request from housekeeping. There is an ashtray in the room. Not sure why if it’s a non-smoking room. There is no trashcan in the bathroom only one by the door. The air-conditioning and heat was adequate. The bed is a little lumpy and...

Rodeway Inn Near University-Gateway to Yosemite

8/10 Good

"Near highway and train tracks. Trains go through multiple times in the night."

El Capitan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"El Capitan was much more than a place to rest a weary travelers head, it was a vibe. The luxurious atmosphere took me to a beachy, artsy, analog and delicious place. The pour over coffee, the record player and robe comforted me beyond what was really expected. And Victoria's offering 24 hour doordash was epic! My only grief with the place was that I couldn't stay longer!! I checked in very late and even with the later check out it was not long enough to truly unwind. The valet was a little confusing at first with all the one way driving... so I parked in the adjacent lot myself. The valet was kind enough to move the car to park it properly which was convenient but I sadly forgot to put my luggage in the car when it arrived! The staff was amazing and considerate offering to ship me my stuff! The food at the rainbird was excellent and the lounge areas were comfortable and clean. The outside patio with the waterfall and firepit did not disappoint and made way for new memories, laughing and good times! From someone who hasn't been in Merced for a while and has hesitations returning, opting for short and sweet visits, El Capitan made it easy to enjoy the stay and maybe next time I visit the valley it'll be longer."

Courtyard by Marriott Merced

10/10 Excellent

"Only downside is that they don't provide breakfast (we knew that before booking)"

FairBridge Inn & Suites Merced/Gateway to Yosemite

10/10 Excellent

"I’m a frequent patron of this motel. It’s not fancy but it’s very clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced."

Merced Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Melody at the front desk was awesome, she is very nice and always very helpful. It was a little upsetting that the ice machines didn't work, and that there was a $210 pet fee and a $100 deposit which wasn't stated on my itinerary when I booked the room but it was a great stay neither the less"
