Guest Reviews
- Guadalupe (10/5): Really liked it, will be staying in the future - Really nice staff, helpful and polite. The room smelled fresh and clean, and was neat. Maybe needs a bit upgrade in the restroom sink, but I was really clean so wasn’t a biggie.

- Thom (3/5): A breakfast was a feature of the motel’s advertising. When checking in I was told about the breakfast- but in the mornin - Easy to access from the road Too close to Hwy 99 and the railway which were so loud that you should have been given foam earplugs when registering.
- Ernest (5/5): - Clean. The bathroom is outdated.

- Pedro (10/5): - The room was nice and clean and the staff was kind people
- Thibaut (5/5): Correct mais privilégier les chambres à l’étage ! - Prix correct. Parking disponible et gratuit. Propreté de la chambre. Les chambres sont mal isolées. Nous étions au rez de chaussé et entendions tous les mouvements et les conversations du client au dessus. Impossible de dormir de 10:30PM à 12:30PM
La proximité avec l’autoroute peut déranger si vous avez le sommeil léger mais on était au courant de ça.

- Zuchen (3/5): Friendly staff and decent facilities, but the constant freeway noise made it impossible to sleep - The staff at Rodeway Inn Near University – Gateway to Yosemite were very friendly, and the facilities were decent. However, the location right next to the freeway made it extremely noisy. I could hardly sleep at all because of the constant traffic sounds. This was a disaster for me since I had to drive another 12 hours the next day. If you’re looking for a quiet night’s sleep, this is not the place to stay.

- Kenneth (10/5): Fantastic stay! Would highly recommend!! - Everything was perfect, great room, amazing bed so comfortable, spotlessly clean, staff were fantastic, great value and would 100% stay here again for a longer period!!!! Nothing!
- Avelino (10/5): -
- Marika (7/5): - Struttura pulita I bagni assolutamente da rifare
- Hannah (8/5): - Für den Preis voll in Ordnung. In den Yosamite National Park (Valley) fährt man noch ca. 2h. Die Badtüre und auch die Duschtüre haben geklemmt. Etwas abgelegen vom Dorfzentrum. Wir sind zwar hingelaufen, haben uns aber nicht ganz wohl gefühlt. Nur für die Übernachtung war es aber eine gute Unterkunft.

- Avelino (4/5): - It was clean , the bed was comfy. The AC didn't really work it was way to hot in that room.
- Mark (10/5): - Clean
- Velazco (10/5): -
- Alvarez (10/5): - I like very think it was nice
- Tyrone (7/5): - I enjoyed this place a lot. The TV size was perfect. The bed was super comfortable and the location of it all was beautiful in itself. I didn’t get a chance to check out the pool, but I would’ve liked to while I was there. I have no complaints whenever I had an issue with my television the man at the front desk was able to come up and help me with ease If I had a problem, I cannot think of one right now
- Botello (1/5): Don’t bother to stay here because you will be disappointed. I was bitten by bugs and had a rash on my stomach when Islep - Nothing. Staff was very rude and demanding. Breakfast ended at 9:00am???? Nothing. Staff was very rude and demanding. Breakfast ended at 9:00am????

- Лілія М. (9/5): Ідеально : ціна і якість - Мені все сподобалось. Персонал, велика парковка, Величезна кімната. Трохи було чути шум з дороги, але ми були стомлені і нам це не дуже заважало.
- Dorota (10/5): - Z tego motelu jednocześnie było blisko do wielu restauracji i sklepów w Merced, jak i łatwo było wyjechać na autostradę do Parku Yosemite, który był naszym miejscem docelowym. Miejsce zadbame, pokój był czysty, cichy, z dostępem do internetu, tv, suszarki, deski do prasowania i żelazka, z dodatkowymi kosmetykami i wieloma miejscami do podłączenia zasilania. Obsługa pomocna i miła. Czasami szum autostrady mógł nieco zakłócać spokój, ale mieliśmy świadomość, gdzie wybieramy nocleg. Jednak ku zadowoleniu i tak było bardzo cicho. Jedyny problem, to niedomówienie z basenem, bo według tego klucza wybierałam pobyt kilka tysięcy kilometrów od domu. Wydaje mi się, że warto bardziej podkreślić zasady z jego korzystania.
- Pavel (6/5): - Přijeli jsme pozdě v noci a personál byl připravený. Snídaně byla velmi, velmi skromná a brzy došla, nedoplňovalo se. Trošku hlučnější místo, vedle dálnice, ale v pokoji to nerušilo.
- Michael (3/5): Compliqué - Le lit était confortable. L’emplacement est ignoble, juste à côté d’une route. Les fenêtres sont tellement mal isolées j’avais l’impression de dormir dehors avec le bruit des voitures.
Les voisins qui se mettent à hurler à minuit je n’irai pas plus dans le détail. Je déconseille sauf si vous avez le sommeil lourd et que vous ne trouvez pas moins chère.

- Sven (7/5): -
- Avelino (10/5): -
- Mark (10/5): - Very clean
- Brent (6/5): - An old motel that really needs an update but it is cheap
- Biriukov (3/5): - Old room and dirty towels. It was scared and disgusted to touch anything in the bathroom.
- Francesco (9/5): - Facile da raggiungere, si tratta di una via di motel.
Parcheggio.
Colazione gentilmente offerta dalle 7.00.

- aaronmJ6660WD (10/5): Would recommend for travellers - Great Budget-Friendly Stay for Yosemite & UC Merced Visit.
Stayed here with 3 of my mates while travelling from UK, visiting Yosemite and attending orientation at UC Merced. We were traveling on a student budget, so finding a room with three beds at a reasonable price was a huge win.
The room was simple but clean and had everything we needed — perfect for a few nights' stay. The pool was decent, a nice way to cool off after a long day of exploring. Breakfast was available during the summer, which the informative lady at reception let us know about when we checked in. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot and was appreciated, especially since it was included only for the season.
Staff were friendly and helpful, and overall it was a solid base for our trip. If you're looking for affordable, no-fuss accommodation while exploring Yosemite or visiting UC Merced, this place does the job well.
- Pulliam (10/5): I’m going 2 always stay here I love it - Everything Everything
- Pulliam (10/5): -
- Ina (8/5): -
- Laurent (8/5): - Proximité des supermarchés (4 miles)
Impeccable pour une nuit
Personnel accueillant et sympathique Cela dépendra de la chambre.
Hygway à proximité, un peu de bruit mais rien de grave me concernant
- Miles (8/5): - Convenient place to spend a night if you are passing through Merced.
