Nice building.
Very lovely appearance, quaint with a hip vibe, a beautiful addition to the downtown area. Mattress was a bit on the lumpy side and I found it difficult to get comfortable. Music was playing very loudly nearby until 2 am. One set of ear plugs were provided. Hotel itself was quiet aside from a single door slam at 3:30 am that awoke me from slumber. Staff was very professional and friendly. I didn't get much sleep so I'm uncertain if I will stay again? I would give this an 8/10 overall.

I feel that i paid more for location and this being a new hotel. In the bathroom theres no railing and with the ground being wet theres a fall risk and nothing to stabalize yourslef. I looked on their website and another website to see if theres free breakfast, both said there was and where to go. I go to the place and theres no free breakfast. The food wasnt very good and wasnt worth the price.

Business Trip to Merced
Reserved Joe's Boardroom for work meeting. Rachel and the El Capitan Team are top notch. Reserved 3 suites for colleagues. All quite affordable especially in comparison to not just Merced hotels but Fresno, Modesto and Sacramento. Parking is free at the lot immediately next to the hotel. However, valet parking is only $15 per day. The courtyard is beautiful. Plenty of great common areas to meet and talk. The adjoining restaurant Native Son has great drinks, food, and service. I look forward to returning soon.
