I’d stay there again

Classic American motel style room. But very nicely modernized, and very clean. I stayed there before going to Yosemite NP. Appr. 1h 45m from the park. Highly recommended.

Nice managers/owners and the room was clean and efficient although somewhat small. Only real complaint was the shower, water flow was very small. But overall a good experience

I had a one night stay at the FairBridge Inn while visiting my son at UC Merced. The room was clean. Check in was quick and easy. It is located right of the freeway so it is very convenient.

This place was better than expected. For a one night stay it was nice. It was very nice, clean and quiet. Loved the decoration of the front door. Beds were clean and comfy. Only thing I would say the ice machine wasn’t available and I kept hitting my foot on the bottom of the bed that was blocked off. But overall good :)
