"Valley Inn review Relatively quiet stay the occasional train made quite a racket. The bathroom was clean, but the shower curtain was not long enough to keep water in the shower and the floor got soaked. There’s no bathmat. I had to use an extra towel which I had to request from housekeeping. There is an ashtray in the room. Not sure why if it’s a non-smoking room. There is no trashcan in the bathroom only one by the door. The air-conditioning and heat was adequate. The bed is a little lumpy and...

Top Atwater Hotel Reviews

El Capitan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This location remains my preferred choice whenever I am in Merced."

SureStay by Best Western Livingston Merced County

8/10 Good

"We stayed a couple of days and what they refer to as the apartment. It is a suite with a separate bedroom, kitchen and living room. While it was nice having a very large room, it could be furnished a little better. The kitchen is basic with all the appliances, refrigerator and so forth, but the living room area is extremely large with a small amount of seating I just think they could furnish this a little nicer. Otherwise, the hotel was fine. There are several fast food places in walking distance and several restaurants down on the main street."
