Top Merced Hotel Reviews

FairBridge Inn & Suites Merced/Gateway to Yosemite

10/10 Excellent

"The best place you can find and price is amazing also. The staff are kind and attentive I love it here"

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Turlock

10/10 Excellent

"Pluses: Convenient. Easy to check in/out Everything you need Clean. Did a good job with breakfast. Negatives: Only suggest that if you have 4 people on reservations that you include 4 towels. Had to ask. We steered clear of the pool even though it looked nice just because of the sign which warns you to stay out if you have diarrhea. (If you have to tell people)..."

Hampton Inn & Suites Merced

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed the room — it was huge! The bed and couch were comfortable when staying in at the room. It was conveniently located close to food spots and gas fill ups, and near the highway entrances for going to see Yosemite and King Canyon national parks. All the staff were friendly and helpful at check in and check out. The A/C worked great; it wasn’t turned on when I arrived so the room was very hot to begin with. But cooled down just fine. The only thing which I had issues with were other guests. During the day, other guests (I’m assuming kids) would bang and different doors and then run away. The doors slammed closed, so when anyone nearby left their room it was loud."
