I thought the hotel and amenties were great. I was impressed by the breakfast and dinner.On the other hand the front desk staff lacked professionalism. Location is a little awkward because it somewhat hidden.

Would definitely stay here again, as the 2Bdrm 2Bath suite is exactly what we need. All was clean, staff helpful and friendly, very quiet, convenient to surrounding areas we needed to access. There was the ability to get a 'room to use' so we could change in to go to our event, since our room was not ready yet. This is great customer service, and really, what all hotels should provide, under these circumstances.

I chose this hotel based on the glowing reviews on Tripadvisor but was somewhat disappointed after staying there two nights. The hotel is located in the better part of North Fresno but the hotel entrance is hard to find. To reach the hotel, you have to drive down a long driveway that is located in an empty field and then the hotel is hidden behind a huge Marriot's Springhill Suites hotel. The hotel is a sprawling "U" shape with 3 stories and the hotel lobby is located in the center of the "U" somewhat disconnected from the rest of the hotel. An outdoor pool and an outdoor basketball court is also located in the center of the hotel. There are only two elevators at both ends of the hotel so there is a long walk from the elevators if your room is located in the center of the hotel. I had problems with the room card keys which would stop working and had to go to the front desk to have them re-keyed several times. There is a light breakfast and a light dinner that is available in the lobby but it's all typical prepared foods that are not too appealing. One night they had chicken parmesan and vegetables which consisted of circular chicken patties coated with a cheesy breading and salty canned beans. If you are a drinker, they do offer complimentary wine and beer in the hotel lobby during the week. The rooms do have kitchenettes if you prefer to cook for yourself. There is little insulation between the rooms so it can be quite noisy--you can hear conversations and televisions in the other rooms. One night I was awaken at around 2 am by the people next door who must have come in from a bar and were blasting the sound on their television. The fitness center is strangely located on the 3rd floor in a small room that contains two treadmills, an ellipitical trainer, and a few free weights. Why would a hotel put a fitness room on the 3rd floor? The fitness center was closed the first evening I stayed there because management said it was being repaired. Based on the reviews, I probably expected too much and was somewhat disappointed.

The Homewood is a great place for people who like a little extra room to stretch out in. They provide a hot breakfast every morning and every evening we were always greated by Sylvia the hostess. She made up feel so welcome everynight. Everyone at this hotel makes you feel welcome. Great location close to shopping!!
