This is the quietest and best value in Merced. Other hotels are heavily impacted by the homeless with screaming and yelling all night long. The 2 nicer hotels in the downtown area are next to the police station with sirens all night. Management here takes great pains to accomodate their guests. Friendlyness, cleanliness and exceptional pricing.

Our stay at FairBridge Inn was very pleasant. Front desk staff was courteous and accommodating. The room was clean, bed was comfortable. However, no wash cloths were provided. The grounds are welcoming and kept up nicely. The room rate is cost friendly. I would recommend FairBridge to all my friends.
