Bed is comfortable, rooms are clean/spacious, and bathroom is clean but a little small. My only complaint is that I wish they had a microwave in the room.

Unexpectedly, Maria was the first person to make us feel welcomed in Merced. She always greets us with a warm smile and makes sure that we have everything we need. Whenever we plan a trip to Merced, my wife says "book us a room at Maria's place". We look forward to staying with Maria two more years. We just might have to invite her to our Son's graduation. I think air fresheners are needed throughout the facility. It smells a bit dingy and dated in rooms and common areas. The facility appears clean, but the smell suggests it's not.

Finally got to try the fitness center - which was great. They had treadmills, wipes, tissue paper, dumbbells up to 50 lbs, and mirrors for lifting. It wasn't super busy so that was Really nice Too.

When I arrived, Evelyn was so welcoming and took care of my check-in. She also gave me a rundown of all the hotel's features. My room was spotless and tidy, and there were extra towels, just like I asked for in the app--thank you, Luz! The gym is great and open 24/7, so I could get my workouts in during the mornings. The breakfast was also delicious. Thank you, Kit. The area was well-kept, and she even helped me with the waffle maker. As someone who doesn't eat pork, I was hoping for a turkey or beef option for the sausage. That's my only gripe. One evening, I went to the lobby to grab some snacks and met Stephanie, I think that was her name was. We chatted for a bit, and she even suggested an ice cream cup snack, which was fantastic! Our conversation went so well. She was such a lovely person to talk with. The postcard with the QR code to tip the staff is a nice touch, and I made sure to tip everyone I met. I didn't see Stephanie on the list, though. Thanks to everyone for making my stay so enjoyable. Keep being such wonderful people!

It's a relaxing and leisurely place, and Jackie is an experienced host. There are rooms in the main house, a custom-built home on a large lot. There is also a private cottage in the garden. We called from the road, late, and Jackie graciously reserved a room in the main house (the cottage was not available, sadly) for our arrival. It was still early enough to have dinner, and Jackie's suggestions were the best. We woke up to a fine breakfast with eggs from Jackie's flock (not 5 or 6 hens, but dozens) and we walked the gardens and the chicken coop after breakfast. Best to stay a couple of days, or more, but you won't be disappointed by a brief overnight with breakfast.

The rooms are newly remodeled with wood/laminate flooring, wood shutters and tile in the bathroom. Our small room was very clean and the bed, a pillow top mattress, was very comfortable. The bathroom sink is located outside of the bathroom in a nook and the bathroom itself was very clean! However, the bath towels were on the thin side and a tad small. The included breakfast (served from 6AM - 9AM) had very little to choose from, but I suppose that is to be expected for the price paid. There was cereal, danishes, donuts, etc. Do note, this location is next to the highway. The noise was not an issue for me, but it might be for light sleepers. Thank you, America's Best Inn & Suites! We will recommend and stay again.

Worst. Stay. Ever. We tried to check in at 4:30, 1/2 an…read morehour after our anticipated arrival of 4:00 and 1 1/2 hours after the advertised check-in time of 3:00. The front desk was extremely short staffed with one person trying to check-in four parties, and the check in process took a long time, mainly spent waiting in line. Our room was not cleaned yet, so we went to an early dinner. When we came back after a leisurely meal, the room was ready but lacked a refrigerator, requiring us to move to a new room next door. My sister pulled the bedspread back, sat down, and immediately started itching. There were short black hairs all over the bottom sheet; my sister has long, blonde hair. We notified the front office, and they immediately sent housekeeping out to change the sheets. It took several hours for the room to cool down, even with the air conditioner cranked up as high as possible. The barn bathroom door did not close all the way, which was unfortunate as we had three people sharing the room. (We're sisters, but come on... some things are private.) Additionally this second room had no towels, and the bathtub was absolutely filthy with black marks all over the bottom sheet. There was no fire alarm in the room. I requested a call from the hotel manager as he/she was not available when we checked out. A woman called me later, saying she was a manager. She told me that our $120 stay would be refunded; (Unfortunately, I did not write down her name.) I also received an email from Kay Dhaliwal (Manager) which did not mention any refund but acknowledged my concerns and thanked me for my feedback. Days Inn did indeed refund me $120, but then charged me $120 TWICE on my card. Since I have nothing in writing documenting the promised refund from the property, I have no further recourse other than to leave reviews. I sent an email back to Ms. Dhaliwal requesting a follow up on the promised refund, but have not received any response. DO NOT RECOMMEND! DIRTY! Poor management and housekeeping!

We were towing a trailer and given permission to park along several spaces since they had many rooms empty for the night. Our room was quite clean. Nothing to report out of line. The worst of it was the air filter for the air conditioner smelled of cigarette smoke. Thankfully, we had a can of air freshener and just hosed it. Overall, the place wasn't bad. The people in the neighboring room left me wondering if they were trying to sell drugs out of the parking lot. Every time we stepped out, there was anywhere from one to three people at the back of their vehicle. Traffic noise wasn't bad. Actually, there was little to no freeway noise and it was far enough from the city Street that you didn't really hear much go by. Would I stay here again? Probably.

I'd never stayed at a Quality Inn before, and I was really expecting something better than a Motel…read more6. Apparently this company is like so many other American companies these days: they love to take your money, but their overarching goal is to give the customer as little as possible in exchange, including little (if any) pride in workmanship or service. The one positive thing I *can* say about this place is that the entire front desk staff, with the exception of one young man who referred to me as "boss," was very nice; however, if you need to reach the front desk from your room, good luck getting them to pick up. (Note to all young men: as I have no employees, nor any DNA test telling me otherwise, I am neither your "boss" nor your "bro". Therefore, please do not refer to me as such, because it's *very* unprofessional and disrespectful.) As for the facility: there was a burned hole in my sheet (the maids can't see a hole 8" from the upper left corner of a fitted sheet when they make a bed? really??), forcing me to sleep on a washcloth because the edges of the burned area were hard and crusty and were scratching against my back. The left end of the towel rack in bathroom was very visibly lower than the right side (are towel racks really so tricky nowadays that they can make their installer look like he's working under the influence?). Paint on bathroom wall & ceiling was peeling--A LOT. No stopper in sink. The breakfast bar was understocked a full half hour before it was supposed to close. And when I came back to my room at 2:30pm, the maid was still cleaning the room 3 doors down from mine (she never even bothered to knock to *see* if I wanted my room serviced--that means no clean towels, no *nothing*; and no, I did *not* have the "Do Not Disturb" sign hanging outside). Now, I realize no one from corporate, nor the franchisee of this property, gives a damn about what I've said here because all this could have easily been prevented or corrected before I was assigned my room... IF they took any pride in their product (which is why I didn't bother reporting it to management--if *anyone* knows about the lousy shape this building's in, they do; obviously, no one cares ). So I kinda think of this review as my equivalent of the free night's stay (I only stayed 2 nights) I deserved but would never have gotten had I complained to management (because I've dealt with these kinds of people before---I'm on vacation, and I'm simply not going to waste my time getting upset with people who care less about their product than I do). I believe this is the first time I've ever stayed at a Quality Inn; and I'm not anxious to repeat the experience. "Quality" comes in levels, and this "quality" was right down there with Motel 6. They should really change their name to "Good Luck Inn," because the "quality" you're going to get is a complete crapshoot (unless, of course, this is typical of *all* their properties, in which case they should just change their name to Motel 6 and be done with it). Makes me glad I can't afford to go on vacation more than I do.
