Good hotel for a one night stay before or after Yosemite. Room was clean and comfortable. Not much restaurants around the hotel and not sure the surroundings of the hotel are safe at night (strange city). We arrived late and left early so this was not very important for us. Good pricing

This hotel is very conveniently located just off the 99 in Merced. It was close to the business I needed to attend. I was happy with the room.

Dear Michael G, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience at Holiday Inn Express & Suites Merced!
