It was clean. Very nice and quiet and close to the location we were headed to. Totally satisfied would definitely stay there again on our next visit. I talked to the owner for awhile and he was totally helpful and very interested in us having a good experience. Again loved our stay.

Quite, Comfortable beds, has WiFi, staff is incredibly friendly and even gave us some suggestions on what we could take our family to see/do. The area was pretty quiet considering there is a train track nearby, we didn't even hear the train once. Will definitely be staying there again next year for my other daughters graduation.

Reminded me of mountain inn in a little country town. Location looked a little sketchy but turned out to be fine. Room was small but clean and comfortable. A drawer on the dresser was broken but didn't bother us. The one downfall is the light outside the room is on all night and even with curtains closed it seemed like daylight all night. Great place for an overnight stay

Our stay at Turlock Inn was great. The check in process was easy and the woman was very kind and welcoming. The room was in good shape, minus a missing lamp shade. Other than that the bed was comfortable, shower was hot, and room was clean. Towels were small as reviews say, but not a big deal. There is a train track near by, but if you're a moderately heavy sleeper it isnt a problem. Last, we went to get breakfast in the morning and the gentleman behind the counter actually offered to make my waffle for me, all while engaging in conversation. I also got to meet the public relations dog, Pram, which was a highlight as well. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful clean rooms with all the amenities needed for a long or a short stay. Bed was as comfy as possible with shower at just the right temperature. I can’t stress how friendly and accommodating the staff is in taking extra care of all your needs. The area is clean and surrounded by beautiful Tempt landscaping. Thank you for your warm hospitality and friendly service once again! I’ll be sure to reference more friends and family every time they travel near the area!!

This is the second time I have stayed here. I was originally referred to them by my dog show friends who regularly use them when dog show judges or relatives/friends come to Turlock. They did not steer me wrong. The owners are gracious, professional, and accommodating. They provide a continental breakfast, but if you want something more substantial, just ask them. They will make it. The rooms are spotless and have lots of room (drawers/closet). Very modern furniture and comfortable bed. I most highly recommend this inn.

After needing a nice rest after a long flight, I could not have found a better place. No traffic or freeway noise was perfect. It was also amazing to be treated like family by the owner and staff. Housekeeping was available each day and very hospitable. It was a nice touch to have a gift basket in the room for a little snack and plenty of bottled water. I was expecting a pleasant stay but this exceeded my expectations. Well done Naresh, Thank you! See you next time!

We stayed at the Turlock Inn when in town for my Sister’s Memorial Service. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Love Prim the pup. Hot delicious coffee and breakfast was included. The room was extremely clean and comfortable. Loved having a microwave and refrigerator. The Inn was nice and quiet. Three others from our family stayed there as well. It was nice to have us all together. They had everything we needed. Beautiful little courtyard through the gate by the office. Centrally located and a quick drive to everywhere we had to go. I won’t hesitate to stay there again when in Turlock.
