Perfect for a solo traveler or couple looking for an affordable stay with many of the room amenities you could think of. Needed a place to stay that was more affordable than the other venues around Yosemite, without compromising on quality and comfort.

Needed a quick room for a stop between LA and Modesto, and this hotel was ideal. Pricing was fair and reasonable. It’s not a Ritz-Carlton by any means, but for what I paid, I couldn’t be happier. I slept like a baby - the room was very clean and clearly finished with care. Not a single stray paint overspray; it felt like it was painted by a perfectionist. Even some higher-end hotels can miss that detail. I’d absolutely recommend FairBridge Inn & Suites Merced for a quick overnight stay.
