Not as good as the Motel Six a couple of blocks away.
Advertised a Continental Breakfast - Only instant coffee and juice from a machine.

Worthy of the price
I am lucky enough to be traveling to Merced a couple of times a year. I like to take the train to avoid the nasty drive through the Valley so I'm in cabs and walking when in Merced. The Vagabond is closest to downtown, where there are a couple of OK places to eat, and more importantly, where I need to be for meetings. The rooms are clean, staff is nice, AND THERE'S FREE WIFI. Sure, it's obviously you're spending less than $50/night, no shampoo and thin towels, but there's no Kimpton in town. If there was, that would be my choice.

A few restaurants within 15-20 walk, covering most ethnic choices, a steakhouse and a BBQ joint-brewpub.

The trip was ok. We were right next to a freeway so it was very loud. But for $46 I would stay again because its so cheap. Bring your own towels, shampoo, conditioner, etc.

It's good just for sleeping
The room was clean, but it wasn't fancy. Also the room was really small and for refrigerator and microwave you will be charged again.

Good location
Good location right next to a highway and lots of options for dining. But it is also next to highway and Denny's, so there were lots of cars going in and out even at night. So it is not a quiet place.

Very Homelike
Very Comfortable settings, great viewing, and very private. The restraunts were near by and Shopping Centers were easy to find. Night parking was excellent, and neighbors were very courteous.
