Best Western Inn

Was just driving through on my way out of the Yosemite to the coast, so I have chosen Merced. The hotel was a bit difficult to find for me, because BW had chosen to change their logo. I missed the old yellow word «Best Western». The new logo is just to common. Back to the motel. I realized that it is very close the the very busy highway, as most of the other hotels too! Also, there are tracks of Railways right after the highway. And there are some trains running there! So if you are a train enthusiast like me, it's ok to hear that horn regularly ;-) The room was clean and the ac was running (it was about 94°F outside). I slept quite well. The hotel offers a nice breakfast at the lobby. Includes Toast, Bagels, eggs, meat, fruits and coffee. The price seams reasonable. I would stay again, most probably. less

Not much special about this Best Western. The front office staff was very nice. The bed was good, and seemingly the standard bed required of Best Western hotels. The furniture was older and worn out, but not ugly or shabby. My expectations for a Best Western is a notch above this, but I was not disappointed due to the price. The A/C didn't work as well as I'd hoped... but it also wasn't terrible. I had trouble sleeping due to the highway & train noise. less

This was a good place to rest from travel. The parking was very poor small lot with small spaces. The staff was fabulous and helpful. Breakfast was well stocked fresh and area was clean. Rooms small but clean and in good condition. less

Booked my business trip at the last minute - this was one of the only hotels that had any availability - i was a bit nervous about staying at a motel but honestly - this place is a little gem . Yes it sits right next to the freeway - if it were not summer and if the air wasn’t being used then you might be bothered by the freeway noise if you are a light sleeper - the air conditioner totally drowned out any noise. The room was super clean - the bed comfortable - and they were also able to offer a state government rate. It was not a bad stay and when visiting the area again i would not mind staying here - Be forewarned - there is freeway noise - totally not a problem in the summer but i do think it might be loud had the air conditioner not been on less

We spent one night at the BW Merced on our recent road trip. The room was clean and roomy but the AC was a disaster. Merced was under a heat advisory and the room was west facing. The AC unit was old, noisy in the extreme and basically useless. The net result was a hot and sleepless night. Further, the highway runs adjacent to the motel and the road noise is highly intrusive. We will not be back. On a positive note the staff were very friendly. less
