Nice managers/owners and the room was clean and efficient although somewhat small. Only real complaint was the shower, water flow was very small. But overall a good experience

Nice little motel especially for the price. The rooms are clean and well kept and the property is very well maintained. Quiet location and the freeway entrance is right around the corner.

This place was surprisingly good and very clean. I read the same reviews prior to booking and true enough, this place is highly rated for a reason. We also accidentally booked the wrong night and the owner graciously allowed us to change the check-in date without hassle or service fees. Much appreciated, thank you so much! We will stay here again in the near future.

This small/cozy property is one of the prettiest & most unique properties in Merced. It's our #1 choice unless all booked. The landscape is lovely with olants & flowers & the Mediterranean decoration theme is an added beauty. U will feel like u're in a meditation paradise. The rooms are always very clean & well kept from non-sticky, flawless floors, clean linens to bathrooms. Always our #1 choice in Merced!

This place was clean, renovated, and the staff were very friendly. Batteries in smoke alarm and remote were dead. Property owner fixed smoke alarm, but the it was late and we didn’t want to wake him to also update the batteries in the remote. Otherwise, I’d stay again.

Stayed here one nt before Yosemite and it was so clean, comfy and convenient, that we ended up staying here another single nt after Yosemite heading on to our next stop. The beds were extremely comfortable. Loved that we could just pull up and back our car right up to our door. Bsthroom was huge annd had a small window (great for venting). Only thing didnt like was it was ceiling can lights and no nightstand or sconce lights. I like bright lighting but not can lights at bed time. Covered Porch area infront of room doors was nice with new tile. Wouldve been nice to have chairs out there to sit outside. But otherwise, absolutely a great room for a great price and convenient to hwy.
