Top Applegate Park Zoo Hotel Reviews

Ramada by Wyndham Merced

8/10 Good

"Large room. Could have used a small refrgerator in the room. The front desk was friendly and helpful."

El Capitan Hotel

8/10 Good

"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."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Merced by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk staff was welcoming and friendly, all hotel areas were well kept and clean, the bed was comfy with two clearly labeled options on the bed for firm and soft pillows (loved that), Dove toiletry amenities smelled and worked great (for once I wasn’t missing my own shampoo and conditioner at a hotel), breakfast options were plentiful and varied, and most importantly, as a solo female traveler, the surrounding area and hotel felt safe. Only change I would suggest in future renovations is to remove the bedroom carpet. Hotels always seem cleaner without it. Overall great stay! Highly recommended!"

FairBridge Inn & Suites Merced/Gateway to Yosemite

8/10 Good

"This is an old-fashioned motor court. I tend to like them as long as they are well maintained, because the building itself tends to be solid and able to damp out noise. This one appears to be recently renovated. Everything is up to date, clean, and in good condition. It is right on Highway 99, so the noise outside is pretty serious. With the door closed it's quiet inside. I didn't see any dings or damage to the walls. The flooring is vinyl plank, which is always cleaner than cheap carpet. No breakfast, just a Keuring machine with two pods in the room.. There is staff on site, at least for check in. There was nobody there at departure, so it's just a matter of dropping the key card in the box. I understand that staffing the desk in the morning is a cost, but it also makes it hard to report maintenance issues. Like the one I had. The price I paid was amazingly low. I would have passed on this one as being too good to be true, except for many other reviews praising the property. It turned out to be the bargain of the year. I had one maintenance issue that I would regard as minor, but could become major if not promptly dealt with. The bathtub was slow to drain, so I was up to my ankles by the time my shower was over. Not a problem for me, but over then next few days it might become a real problem."
