10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2026
The El Capitan in Merced is one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at; it is superior to all the 4/5 star chains. The decor and architecture is interesting and worth exploring. The service (front desk, doorman, coffee house/bar and employees walking around) is top notch and frankly unusual these days. The bed was perfect and I sleep on a TempurPedic at home. The layout of the room/bath was perfect. The in-house restaurant Rainbird was outstanding. Overall, I give the El Capitan a 10+ in every way. Hoping we have a reason to get back or go through Merced again soon, so we can stay at the El Capitan again.

The small light in the make-up mirror in the bathroom did not work. The drain in the bathroom sink was very slow.
Appreciated having a room not facing the SP railroad.
Check in staff was very friendly and accomodating.

I love this! Great location, lots of restaurants and bars. Easy parking and low-cost valet if you choose. Great restaurants, even on property.

The Hotel has a Valet as soon as you drive up. They also have two restaurants on both sides that serve delicious food. The rooms are unique and elegant. This a diamond among the other Hotels in the area. You will not be disappointed!!
