We stopped here recently while on the road. Chowchilla is just a bit north of Madera with easy access on/off the freeway. The hotel is about 4 years old and has been well maintained.

Excellent service, very friendly and helpfull. Nice, clean spacious rooms and very nice comfortable beds. Hotel was easy to find and in a great location for my work and reasonably priced. They have a great hot breakfast that is ready at six in the morning which is nice for workers that have to be out early.

The staff is great - very friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the breakfast is yummy! The only draw back is the highway noise, but that's to be expected with the location. I'm in the area once a month and tried a "less expensive" hotel. In this case, you do get what you pay for! This... More
