"The room was clean and in good condition. The bed was good, not too firm, not too soft. Full breakfast is provided, and it was good. Unfortunately we had a choice of coffee, either regular coffee that was very weak, or decaf coffee that was strong but cold. It seems the staff didn’t drink coffee and so didn’t check it. When we asked, the attendant said this is what they were given. This is probably easy to fix, but the staff needed to be trained about how important coffee is to a traveler. The quality and quantity of the rest of the breakfast was great. Eggs, bacon, sausage patties and links, biscuits gravy, cereal, bagels with cream cheese. They had an instant pancake machine like I have never seen anywhere else, but the pancakes were just ok compared to the rest of the food. Ground floor room was quiet and window shade was dark so you could sleep in if you want. Room had a Kuereg machine and a couple of coffee pods so we bought some extra k-cups and made real coffee to take to breakfast. Coffee problem solved."

"Place was very clean. I only stayed 1 night but the room was way better then expected and the property inside was nicely kept. The pool looked great didnt get a chance to get in. Its pet friendly. Left a lot of luggage in cars nothing got messed with. I.woukd stay here again no problem"

"Staff was great.. Rooms very comfortable"

"I've stayed many times at this charming, revamped original Art Deco property. Staff is amazing! They always anticipate the needs of the customer and are generally pleasant. The hotel is super clean. Also, you cannot put a price on safety, and this establishment does not skimp on safety. Valet is such a convent way to park. El Capitan offers fine dining AND a bar located inside. When locals chose to dine at the restaurant- you know the food will be good. There is so much to do within walking distance from the hotel. Pets are welcomed as well. El Capitan feels like an expensive boutique hotel with the down-to-earth customer service you would expect from the Central Valley. I highly recommend staying at El Capitan Hotel for Yosemite needs, as Merced is the "gateway to Yosemite". "
