I’ve stayed at almost every Merced hotel while visiting family. This is by far the best. It’s got a high end feel and they spared no expense with the remodel of the rooms and common areas. Very nice food and coffee options. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. More expensive, but worth every penny! Also pet friendly!
