Disliked: Staff & service
The rooms were small and the putisde were dated but it fit our needs. It was quiet with a faint train noise coming through. Everything was fine until they did not return my deposit due to smoke but we did not smoke in the room at all. I had tried to speak with their front desk about it but they were quite rude about it. I just wanted to make sure if they could have gotten the room number wrong or to speak with the cleaner about it. They were unhelpful and adamant that the smoke smell was strong.
I usually try not to stay on Motel Dr in Merced because of the noise from the freeway, train and bar, but other hotels were sold out. This was my first stay at this motel and I was extremely impressed. I was either super tired both nights or the room was soundproof because I didn’t hear a thing outside. It’s a single story building so you don’t have to worry about the upstairs noise either. They had two or three parking spaces long enough to park my Pilot and keep my trailer attached too. Friendly enough staff that got me checked in quick. Heater worked great. Beds were comfy.
The price was very reasonable. The room served its purpose. Staff was friendly and attentive. Parking can be a little tricky at night especially. But nothing for me not to recommend this place to any looking for a great deal.
Deposit wasn't too much. Housekeeper cleaned snd organized some of my things 🙂 I'd stay here again.

Remote didn't work for tv. And was stuck on a spanish channel. Lady at the front desk was rude and tried making reasons up for her to keep my cash deposit.
This place was better than expected. For a one night stay it was nice. It was very nice, clean and quiet. Loved the decoration of the front door. Beds were clean and comfy. Only thing I would say the ice machine wasn’t available and I kept hitting my foot on the bottom of the bed that was blocked off. But overall good :)
The woman at check in was friendly. The exterior of the motel was clean and attractive. You can hear the freeway when outside, but when we went into our room and closed the door, we no longer heard anything. I love the overhang between the parking lot and the door to the room. Great protection from the elements. The room itself was roomy and clean. All that we required.
