Great place in Merced. I love the modern/forestry decor throughout the hotel and each room has a slightly different wallpaper/paint design, very cute. We ate once at Rainbird and were very happy for a nice menu and good food/cocktails. On our second time around, the courtyard was closed. Probably too hot that day, but we had drinks at the Native Son and the ambiance was festive. We also tried the nearby hifi wine bar next door. Great wine discoveries! The hotel is a perfect stop if in that area!

It’s a wonderful hotel and I stay here often. Rates are reasonable, especially for a nice downtown hotel that’s a short walk from theaters and restaurants. The only downside is that the parking garage is across an alley, though it seems safe and valet parking is available for $15. I park myself in good weather, and use the valet during inclement weather.

My experience at El Cap Hotel was mixed. My first interaction with the front desk during check-in was not very pleasant. The gentleman assisting me was very abrasive and short-tempered, and he seemed to have difficulty locating my reservation. I was questioned about when I had booked my stay, even though the reservation had been made more than two weeks in advance. Unfortunately, I was not provided with any information about the hotel’s amenities or the credit I had available for drinks. Because I was unaware of the credit, I ended up spending money that I otherwise could have used the included credit toward.

The hotel itself is very aesthetically pleasing and clean, and the location is excellent, you can walk to pretty much everything. However, the walls are extremely thin. I could hear the guest next door, the person staying above me, and virtually every noise coming from the street, which made it difficult to get a peaceful night’s sleep.

Overall, the hotel is beautiful and in a great location, but the noise level and my initial experience with the front desk significantly impacted my stay.

There’s a nice bar in the lobby and a restaurant to order food from. I would totally recommend and would go again in the future. Also, the AC works super good. It could cool down the room in like five minutes.

Much better than a typical hotel. Stayed there on the way to Yosemite National Park. The restaurant Rainbird was quite good, had food (lunch menu) Avocado Toast and Ancient Grain Bowl. Portions were large, but fresh ingredients. Located in downtown, so walkable distance to coffee shops. The decor is fantastic. The first floor has lots of spots to sit (including conference rooms) and courtyard.

Stylish (not expensive materials). Restaurant and café are excellent which operate long hours, within hotel. Gym with nicely set ups. Down side is close to rail, can hear train noise and horns. Main street can be noisy at night too. Bathroom door designed to open outward so has to be shut close, less child friendly. Shower drain pan is dark so it is easy to see hair left over from previous customer. But over all is clean. Parking is next building, which is similar to free parking on site.

We've stayed here several times. We like the common space, staff, resturant, cafe, fitness room (tho could use some maintenance, the water cooler was leaking). Best to be had in a hotel in Merced. So why not 5 stars?
First is the industrial grade matress covers. They squeak and don't breath so sleep comfort isn't all that great. The hotel could do something about this as we don't find this in other hotels.
Second, Merced suffers from a culture that displays it's vitality through straight pipes and harleys ripping through down town well after midnight, at it's worst on Saturday. There's also a train that runs often through town and doesn't hesitate to use it's whistle. If loud noise is an issue for you, your only hope is to insist on a room facing the alley (Anne Lane?) behind the hotel.

I wanted to love this place and I did love the restaurant downstairs and the coffee shop and the location but the staff was in their 20's when I was there and though they were polite, some of them didn't seem terribly concerned about the lack of parking issues with a full car of stuff and also a very crazy slippery shower. I won't put the photos but I'm a fit, athletic person and had trouble staying upright. Had to put the bathmat inside of the shower so that my mother wouldn't fall.

Also the hot water kettle was a bit possessed and kept beeping at us unless we unplugged it. Also VERY noisy on the weekends with rooms facing the main boulevard.

Great hotel! Room was great and comfy. Decor was really nice. Nice helpful staff. Valet service was easy and very reasonably priced. The restaurant in the lobby was AWESOME. Had a really terrific dinner made to go and I ate in my room because I was preparing for a backpacking adventure in Yosemite and it was going to take some time to get my pack set up. Also the hotel restaurant seemed pretty popular on a weekend so I would recommend reservations if you are going! The ONLY complaint I have about the El Capitan hotel is the noise at night. Which I suspect they are aware of because there was a small pack of earplugs left on the bedside table. While I don't blame the hotel, and know they can't control the loud music, screeching tires, and sirens outside on the streets on a weekend night, it was still quite loud even with the earplugs. Since I had planned to go to bed early and get up at 4am to head towards the park, this was frustrating to not get a good night's sleep before doing a multi-day hike. If you are a light sleeper, please be aware noise \"may\" be a thing here. I say \"may\" because who knows maybe it's only crazy like that on a weekend. I stayed on a Saturday night. Other than the noise, I would give this place 5/5.

Location was ideal, room was clean and orderly, service was good.

The room lacked adequate lighting and had problem with AC that a fan was needed to feel comfortable while sleeping.

The AC was set to 67 but the temp was reading and felt like 72. Maintenance confirmed that the temp coming out of vent was around 49°. We were there for 2 days.

This was our second visit to this establishment.

The shower was weird. It did not have a door to enclose the shower space. Water went all over the bathroom floor outside the shower space. There was no drain either, so, the water that went outside the shower space had to air dry or we had to use towels. It's a slipping hazard, especially for my pregnant wife.

Second stay at property. Great service and staff.

The only thing I would mention to people not aware of the area is that you do hear motorcycles early evening. In both stays they provide ear plugs in the room which is nice. I also like that there is carbonated water available at the water station on the 3rd floor. Bring a water bottle to take advantage.

I highly recommend staying here if you're in Merced. Will stay here in a heartbeat if I am ever in Merced

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.
