Above expectations! Everything was above our expectations! Perfect location, and we had a really large room with a fully equipped kitchen – amazing! The hotel also has a laundry room available, which is perfect for travelers across the USA. Coffee and tea were available all day in the lobby – a great touch! Breakfast was very tasty and definitely above expectations. The pool had slightly colder water, but overall still nice. We would be happy to return!

Staff was very friendly despite us arriving after midnight. They honored my request for a quiet room on the top floor, which was much appreciated after a long flight from Europe. The room was clean and recently refurbished. All sorts of fast food options in walking distance, as well as petrol stations and shops. I’m sorry we only stayed one night - next day in Mariposa we got a room for 2x as much money which was significantly worse than this. If visiting Yosemite, a 50% discount on hotel rooms may wort the additional 30 minuted drive. This motel deserves a high rating as of fall 2025!

Merced area does not have the best hotels and crime rate is high, there is also a lot of homeless in the area of motel Drive. However, my stay at this Ramanda Inn hotel exceeded to expectations it was very nice, clean, quiet all amenities were new and up to date and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. It is right next to Dutch, Subway and also a good Mom & Pop restaurant for home style cooked foods, right next door to Dutch Bros walking distance

This hotel and stay was our best ever.

This hotel and stay was our best ever. Rooms are clean and comfortable and soooo cute. The staff all were helpful, friendly with wonderful smiles. Our only issue is that we drive a large truck that was tight to park but all worked out. Would love to plan another visit as soon as possible. Thank you to the entire staff

Thus was the worst hotel for the price we've ever stayed in.

Thus was the worst hotel for the price we've ever stayed in. There were roaches in our room, had to keep asking for towels because there were none in the room and we were there for four days. We were able to switch rooms after the first night of complaining of roaches in the room. The bugs were also in the second room as well but figured by then it was a roach motel. Will not stay nor recommend this hotel to anyone. I did get the picture of the roaches because they ran. But was able to get the picture of the wall outlet hanging by the wires in the floor.
