We enjoyed our stay from beginning to end. The staff was accommodating and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The towels were soft and clean. The shower had great water pressure. We really appreciated all the on demand features included with the tv. We had lots of movie choices from which to select. The only downside was the freeway noise but that couldn’t be helped. We would definitely stay again.

It's always a pleasure when I'm in Merced to have the convenience of the best Western. Its by far the best place for the price. Can't beat it! The Lady who worked that evening was super nice. She remembers me from a previous stay. Which surprised me because it was awhile ago. So I felt welcomed and appreciated her for attention to detail.

Yandell saved the day!!!

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Yandell at check in, she is absolutely fantastic. As luck would have it, I accidentally had booked my room for the following night. She was kind, caring and patient as I worked with Expedia and with her manager getting my reservation changed so that I wouldn’t lose the money I paid for the reservation. I had been traveling all day and was exhausted so I was so thankful for the kindness. The room was super clean and comfortable and very quiet. I will definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Merced !! Thank you again Yandell!!!
