San Joaquin Valley, California hotel rooms at the Independent

"Had a plesant stay nice quiet room. Service only once a week. If you check in on Monday, and god forbid something happened to you, they would not find your body until check out date. Easy self park."

"Nice!"

"I've stayed many times at this charming, revamped original Art Deco property. Staff is amazing! They always anticipate the needs of the customer and are generally pleasant. The hotel is super clean. Also, you cannot put a price on safety, and this establishment does not skimp on safety. Valet is such a convent way to park. El Capitan offers fine dining AND a bar located inside. When locals chose to dine at the restaurant- you know the food will be good. There is so much to do within walking distance from the hotel. Pets are welcomed as well. El Capitan feels like an expensive boutique hotel with the down-to-earth customer service you would expect from the Central Valley. I highly recommend staying at El Capitan Hotel for Yosemite needs, as Merced is the "gateway to Yosemite". "

"Bed so comfortable the room Beatty clean I love to stay "

"Excellent customer service, place is clean and modern, lovely!!!"

"Lovely hotel and we had a lovely time. Restaurant and bar are delightful. Staff are helpful and rooms are just great. If you want feedback Pillows are pretty to look at but flatten too quickly. Many hotels seem to be moving to this type of pillow. It’s no fun. I miss pillows that have some support and substance. Hallway carpet by elevators smells like mildew. It might be hard to air that out "

"I loved the vioews of the mountains. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.my only complaint is they dont offer a eaay to ready hiking map.they only offer a driving map and a smaller map of 3-4 smaller trails.but they offer a free bus service to and from several popular attractions close by! "

"Very quiet but friendly. Very well dressed"

"Great Service !"
