Top Waterford Hotel Reviews

SureStay by Best Western Livingston Merced County

8/10 Good

"We stayed a couple of days and what they refer to as the apartment. It is a suite with a separate bedroom, kitchen and living room. While it was nice having a very large room, it could be furnished a little better. The kitchen is basic with all the appliances, refrigerator and so forth, but the living room area is extremely large with a small amount of seating I just think they could furnish this a little nicer. Otherwise, the hotel was fine. There are several fast food places in walking distance and several restaurants down on the main street."
