Courtyard by Marriott Merced

This was exactly what we needed toward the end of a hectic two week tour of California! The hotel staff were extremely helpful, and were quick to offer a room that was quiet and away from the freeway side. The room itself was small but well appointed, with the added feature of a couch and otterman - quite unexpected. The pool and gym looked good, but we were never able to find them unoccupied - they were clearly popular with children and teens. In the morning of our departure, we found we had a dead car battery. The staff were so nice - they rechecked us in to our room, and were supportive as we tried to get AAA out to help us. That extra bit of kindness from the reception staff was just what we needed at that moment. I've been staying in Marriott properties for years, and this just confirmed that I was making the right choice! The only downside - common to so many hotels now - was the inclusion of a TV that could only be operated by a rocket scientist. Honestly, couldn't they all just use cable, with a simple guide? Probably no longer available!

The staff was excellent. Angel at the check-in counter was helpful. The facility is nice. The room was okay.

The room was very clean and comfortable. I loved the eatery for breakfast. Excellent location. Very friendly staff.

I liked the friendly staff. everyone knew we were honeymooning and treated us extra kind. i would recommend to everyone. as a matter of fact we already have. just wish the griddle had been working so we could of had pancakes.

The staff member who did our check in was very friendly. The pool is nice and room size is very good too.
