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

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.

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

We do our research to find nice clean lodging without regard for brand. We want (1) clean rooms, (2) amenities, i.e. refrigerator, free internet, etc. (3) comfy beds (4) low cost. We were pleased to find all of these at the Sandpiper. Manny was very friendly and wanted more than anything to please his guests with customer service and clean... More
