A charming and luxurious historical hotel in Merced

"Loved our stay here! Elegant old hotel with updated everything...but still retains a classic charm. Room was comfortable and clean with all new fittings and fixtures. (I was kind of hoping for a more antique/vintage/original feel, but once we were settled in, I appreciated the modernity of all the appointments). Cocktail from the bar was fantastic! The seating areas off the lobby were comfortable and pleasant to use. Dinner at the restaurant was elegant. Breakfast at the cafe was delicious (coffee and savory pastry). Staff were all friendly, helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend."

The hotel has a kitchenette, dishwasher, kitchenware, and two people are very good for simple meals. Health is very good and the big bed is comfortable. We went to Yosemite for one night and came back the next day and stayed for another night. Some rooms will be noisy and fast.

Overall, I was satisfied. After all, it is a Marriott brand. I saw the most unique sofa bed. It turns out that the size of the sofa bed depends mainly on the size of the sofa. I checked in at 9pm. The hotel elevator broke down. The front desk customer service helped me change the room on the first floor. However, it was still being repaired the next morning. Guests staying on the second and third floors had to take the stairs. I hope they don't have too heavy luggage.

After we were checked in and charged for the room as well as the required $50 deposit, we were then told they don’t have breakfast, only water bottles, tea and coffee. There “snack bar” consisted of a few bags of chips and two or three thumped of candy. The “assortment” of beverages available to purchase were 12 oz cans and 3 flavors. We did go to our room and found there was no fridge, no dresser/drawers of any kind for clothing, no coffee machine, not even an ice bucket. When we called to the front desk we were informed that none of the rooms have any of those items as they “just opened 3 months ago”. I was astonished, firstly you have been open for 3 months with nothing that a normal or even roach hotel has and you represent Wyndham??? Since we had already been charged and brought all our luggage in we decided ok fine we will stay. We used a garbage can for an improvised ice chest to keep our drinks cold and any food we were got while there. In the middle of the night I woke up to use the restroom to find that NONE OF THE LIGHTS WORKED?!?!? They worked when we got there. It was just ridiculous. They should NOT BE OPEN yet they are not ready.

I am a self-driving tour, living in Merced is far from Yosemite National Park, but cheap. This hotel is a mid-end hotel chain of all American chains with guaranteed quality. I have lived many times and will choose BW once I go to an unfamiliar city.
