My friend and I were in Merced to attend a large university graduation ceremony. As we were looking for a room with two separate beds as advertised on the website, we understood why those rooms were not available. Thank you for your efforts to accommodate our 1-night stay after a long drive from LA to Merced.

Puddles

My stay at Pacific Express wasn't a very pleasant one. Some if the light fixtures did not work, the room did not have a microwave, and the shower flooded. I had throw towels in front of the door to stop the flow of water into the sleeping area. I personal will not use them again but you can give it a try. Your experience might be better; at least, it was clean.
