The pictures didn’t lie. I had never been to Merced, didn’t know the area but was intrigued by the renovation of this older building. Once I got there, it was even more impressive. Great job with the modern amenities over laid onto this great pallet.

Parking garage. It’s owned by the city and not maintained properly. Elevator didn’t work so we lugged our baggage down a few flights of stairs. The hotel only has a very few parking spots that aren’t valet. The police have an entire floor reserved but no vehicles? The city needs to support this business a bit better. The hotel itself was great.
