I was coming into town very late and they were cool with checking in at midnight. They were also very accommodating with letting me do a late checkout. I’m glad the ice machine and A/C were working, this was mid to late July, super hot. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. It was the perfect layover to head to Yosemite the next day. Will definitely stay again if I’m ever in the area. Thank you!

The night attendant didn’t seem to keen on assisting, he had to call the owner who was helpful. When I checked out, he seemed bothered to assist.

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.

Poor, outdated conditions, our non smoking room smelled just the opposite. Dirty walls, dirty bathroom, water would not heat up. I only stayed there because it was late and had no other choice.
