This dog friendly hotel is our favorite spot to stay in Merced. Located in a nice part of town, with great restaurants onsite and features indoor and outdoor seating.

Solo stay

Charming for sure, record player and rotary phone are fun. Hotel staff was not very knowledgeable about the town. Did not know where buses went and did not have recommendations for food outside of hotel. Noise from trains def something to consider, but they do give you earplugs which was nice.

The room was super clean and the staff were awesome. I went up to Yosemite and they let me check in at 10 PM the day I reserved. The bed was super comfy and they had a nice big TV in the suite. There’s a nice bar in the lobby and a restaurant to order food from. I would totally recommend and would go again in the future. Also, the AC works super good. It could cool down the room in like five minutes.
