Jessica, Maria, Genesis and Josiah all did an absolutely excellent job, very impressed by front desk, clean room, feels like a steal for the price offered on Expedia so I strongly recommend they keep it the same to attract business because they landed mine in the future easily should I ever return to Merced. I had no complaints whatsoever and I’ve worked in hotels 9 years before I ended up doing other work. Best place I ever stayed at (for the price)

This was the noisiest room I've ever stayed in in my life (I'm 72). There were loud cars and Harley's driving by all night. Also the train kept going by all night. (with lot's of horn). The bathroom was so small there was no room to put any toiletries down. I don't know if it was just my room or if they're all like this. I wouldn't stay there again if THEY paid ME.

I chose El Capitan because my dog was free. Everything went smoothly. The room was great, no one said anything about my dog (except "Can I pet him?"), in and out was a breeze, and I found parking across the street. Good location too. However, I don't know why they had to put me down two hallways on Floor 4. During my stay, the elevator never opened on either Floor 2 or 3, indicating an absence of inhabitants on those floors. Also, I only saw two other customers on Floor 4. I could not quite close the blackout curtains after a number of tries, so they let in some light in the early morning.

This is my go to hotel in Merced. Classic property that’s been lovingly renovated. The restaurants are great at the hotel and a multitude of restaurants and bars within just a few blocks walk. Staff is excellent with super fast check-in. Rooms are beautiful. Even the least expensive room has its advantages with a classic restored look and not facing Main Street. I pointed out because Main Street at night can be very loud on weekends, especially. The hotel provides earplugs, which is certainly indication. They are aware of the noise. I should mention the noise is from the people out at the bar and driving up and down Main Street. Some revving of engines and motorcycles. That’s kind of a classic downtown California thing but if you’re not used to it, you should ask for a room towards the back of the hotel, which are much quieter. Overall, I love this place.

I quite like this hotel and it's one of the better hotels in the Merced area. My only issue is that it is quite loud on the M Street side because the train is in the vicinity, which runs until very late. The other problem that they cannot control is the health food/juice bar (also the M Street side) that blasts music all day starting at 9 a.m. Book yourself a room on the alley side, or quiet side.

One of the best features of El Capitan is it has a nice coffee bar downstairs that also serves snacks. Their staff is very friendly, too. I also love the filtered water and ice station on the 3rd floor. If you're a big water drinker, this is a marvelous amenity.

All was good. Only problem was at 1:00 in a.m. on our last day early Monday, there was a loud noise. It appeared to be someone working on the room or roof above us. They did warn of a fire alarm drill occurring and that did happen at 10:00 a.m. Room was cute. It had a little phonograph with some albums to play. I couldn’t get the stylus to come off. No worries.
