Clean and Stylish
Hotel was very clean and stylish. The entrance was difficult to find coming from their neighboring parking garage, but once we found it and got the valet going it was perfect. The bathroom was very minimal. Nice and Clean but once your toothbrush was in the bathroom there wasnt any more space. Towels were hard to come by. Walls were VERY thin and other conversations could be easily overheard. All in all the room was great, valets were quick and freindly. Lots of great local bars n restaurants around within walking distance.

Cute boutique hotel in downtown Merced. Got stuck on the side of the freeway and had to find a place to stay until my car could get fixed. The staff weee very accommodating and even let me borrow a phone charger. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent! The holiday decorations were adorable.

Hidden Gem in Central CA
What a magical pit stop on the way from Sacramento to LA! We found this place at the last minute and it’s absolutely gorgeous! Everything was brand new, the service was great and the food and staff at the El Capitan’s adjacent restaurants were spectacular! If you need to break up that Golden State drive or need a relaxing place to stay before your next trip to Yosemite, do yourself a favor and stay here! Can’t wait to go back!
