I’d come back!
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.

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.

Perfect place for what we needed.
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.

Pleasant stay, comfortable bed and surprisingly quiet for its location. I’d stay again. All rooms on ground level.

Updated floors and furniture. Bed was comfortable. Showerhead squirted all over. No reading light by the bed. Room was very small.

A Fantastic Value
This is an perfect example of the magic that can be created out an older motel that has been fully renovated. It is a no frills property. No pool, gym or hot tub, but the grounds and exterior are beautiful. Each room comes with hardwood floors, shutters instead of curtains and a big TV with a gazillion channels. The shower had a grab bar and came with a non slip mat for the tub. Each room has a mini fridge and coffee maker.
Clean as a whistle inside and out, I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
The property is close to the freeway as are the rest of the hotels along Motel Row. It wasn't a problem for me. The staff was very kind. My only negative comment is that my towels were a bit worn.
For the price it's an incredible bargain.

Check in staff were very nice. Room was clean and modern. Hard floors with no carpet, but very clean. Some noise from the adjacent highway 99. We nneded a clean place to sleep for 1 night and it served the purpose.

Perfect for quick trips to Yosemite, UC Merced
Pros: All was good, as described online, pictures are accurate. Clean. Friendly front desk people. Small business, well managed. Cons: there is no plug in the bathtub, and window is facing a narrow strip of backyard that’s trashed and look unhygienic, also the screen mesh was broken. Could be easily fixed. Overall good value for money. Good location.
