This is a nice clean hotel. It is well maintained and the ownership/management is very helpful. The room had a microwave and refrigerator; which was helpful. It was a very pleasant experience. The prices are quite reasonable I recommend it highly.

We stayed in Merced to visit a friend and break up the drive from San Francisco to Yosemite, in both directions. We chose the Sandpiper Lodge due to its price and good reviews and were really happy with it. The motel is very clean and spacious, the beds extremely comfy, it was very peaceful and even included a small breakfast... More

“Exactly what I neede”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2012

I was looking for a budget stopover, and that's exactly what I got. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful. Clean, functional room, and no problem getting a shower and a good night's sleep. Internet worked fine. I was a bit worried about noise as it faced onto a highway, but didn't notice anything once the door was closed.

“Terrible first-hand experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2012

Our room was sweltering HOT when we opened the door. The ancient window a/c unit with a clogged vent filter took to long to affect the room. We checked in late and that made it very hard to go to sleep. It was cooler outside in the night air and we probably could have slept better in the minivan with... More
