After reading other reviews, I was a bit weary checking in. Indeed, the hotel is designed like a motel - a collection of low-rise buildings, with a pool/courtyard in the center, except it has inside corridors. You need a room key to enter the corridors of the buildings. Not impressive driving up to the location. It's on a side street... more

We had made reservations at the Picadilly Inn – University for the weekend of the Wisconsin vs. Fresno State football game - September 12-14. I hadn’t checked the Trip Advisor reviews prior to making the reservation. So, after reading the very negative reviews of Jan 1, 2008 and Apr 8, 2007 I was really dreading this place. However, our experience... more

The best stuff first: the room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. Beyond that, there's not a thing to recommend the place. Check-in took almost half an hour because of untrained, unprofessional kids at the desk. None of the staff seemed motivated to provide any kind of service and service definitely did not seem to be a part of... more

This is an okay place to stay. Not great, but not bad. Beds are comfortable. Bathrooms are okay. Room was quiet. Air conditioning worked great (which is important in Fresno in August). There is no restaurant (or room service), but there is a Marie Callendar's (and other restaurants, fast food) right next door. I've stayed here several times and I've... more

My mom and I stayed here because we had tickets for the Josh Groban concert at the SaveMart Center on April 4, 2007. Ugh. We were on the bottom floor of one of the buildings, and our "view" was the parking lot and the backs of the Black Angus restaurant and Marie Callendar's (both within walking distance, though, if that's... more

We chose the Piccadilly Inn due to its proximity to the Save Mart Center. The front desk clerk was very friendly and efficient, and checked us in long before the 3pm arrival time. The room was very large and comfortable. All rooms have internal front doors, and a key card is required to access the building except via the lobby.... more

Traveling alone, I did not feel safe or comfortable at this motel. The lobby is not connected with rooms and one has to walk outside in the dark parking lot in order to get to the rooms. The attendant called out my room number so that all standing in the lobby could hear. more

I never noticed any crime or bad people around the Piccadilly Inn University. I know they do have a nice inviting pool. The rooms are clean and they are right accross the street from Fresno State which is why my parents frequently use this hotel and they love it! Not far from Savemart Center either. more

I stayed here, aware of the revews and concern about the surrounding area. The room was clean, though dated, and the hotel staff was extremely courteous and helpful, granting me a 9 a.m. check-in. However, during the day, numerous young people were traversing the parking lot, and jumping the fence into the apartment complex to the south. At about 11... more
