This is my second time in this hotel, the hotel has a dim light atmosphere towards the later night that's perfect for reading or have a relaxing night of drinking tea, coffee, or anything else preferred. The employees are accommodating and very hospitality, the view we had in our hotel room was possibly my most favorite place to be. Such a great location for anyone with a family or would like to have a quiet vacation time with a pet. My little dog was greeted with a lovely bag if doggy treats and a cute toy! 🥰

This was such a fun experience staying here - this was our second time. Super good location, good service, the design of the hotel & attention to detail was amazing. It's quaint and feels like a boutique hotel, but it's not small - felt like a true retreat in the middle of Merced. The courtyard and lobby areas, the multi-use rooms, the gym, the food options... I just loved it. Highly recommend. I want to say thank you for the art gallery style walls throughout each floor. That in itself was a really great experience because they have art from some local artists.

Nicely decorated hotel, and the room has warm designs and fills of lovely touches. Welcoming and thoughtful staffs and delicious dining/ breakfast options. Centered in the area, there are many other places to explore with walking distance. Except for the proximity to the railroad, it is hard to find anything unpleasant. Quite a nice stopover before heading to Yosemite.

Overall I loved this hotel! The record player and stuffed bee toy in the room was such a fantastic and exciting touch. I also loved the restaurant options in the hotel itself, great location in Merced too. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is because of the noise I could hear through the walls. I unfortunately was placed next to a room where the people had their barking dog, among other things, and it was extremely distributive in the evening. Hopefully adding more installation to the old building will help this in the future!

Beautiful hotel!! Super impressed with what Merced has done to their downtown area and this hotel was no exception. My daughter had a volleyball tournament in town, and while we only live a little over an hours drive away, myself and another mom took the opportunity to stay here for a night. We enjoyed late night drinks and small bites in their downstairs bar and sipped on coffee & tea in the morning. Definitely will be coming back to hopefully enjoy more of the downtown area including their wine bar next door, the beautiful restaurant downstairs, and to possibly see a show two doors down and the Manzier.
