“Fine for the price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012 via mobile

Although I'm pretty picky, having run a motel myself, I couldn't find very much wrong with the Piccadilly Express. Comfortably furnished, high ceilings on the second floor, and only about eight minutes away from Cal State Fresno, for a decent price. Why pay more?

Niggling complaints: no one was staffing the front desk when I arrived -- three minute wait -- and there's no bathtub, although there are two very comfortable shower heads in the walk-in shower. And some travelers might care that the TV does not offer movies on demand.

Stayed November 2012, traveled solo

Good Evening Reviewer,
We are pleased to hear that you were satisfied with your stay here at The Piccadilly Inn Express. We strive to make our guests comfortable and happy while they are staying with us. I am very sorry that you had to wait to be checked in. I would assume that the front desk agent was assisting another guest at the time of your arrival. We hope that you will stay with us again next time you are in the area. Thank you for taking the time to submit the review.

“Park & Fly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

This hotel is conveniently located very close to Fresno International Airport. New ownership has updated the Lobby and many of the rooms and offers a good breakfast bar to get your day started. The staff is friendly and helpful.

“Perfect service, perfect facilities, perfect stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

It was the first time I had visited the US and the staff made me feel very welcome. They were polite, courteous and very helpful. The room was perfect, especially the huge bed and double shower. The room has everything I needed including microwave and fridge, and was cleaned and tidied every day. The breakfast bar was lovely, with a perfect range of breakfast foods. Overall, my stay was great. Very reasonably priced and I would certainly stay there again.

“Near the airport-good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012

We stayed one night before flying out on an early morning flight. We had a king sized bed. Room had a frig and microwave. Very clean. Helpful front desk staff who gave us some restaurant recommendations and volunteered a wake up call without us having to ask. This hotel is literally less than 5 minutes from the airport and was very convenient for us. Saved us having to get up even earlier than we already had to!

“Good for what it is; you'll pay for convenience, though”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

After a flight misconnect, needed a hotel at/near the airport. Could have gotten something equally well-rated if I had gone back west on Shaw a few miles but was too tired. Decent, clean, helpful front desk staff. A little pricier than is justified.

One annoyance: the electrical outlet for the desk is behind the very heavy tv credenza/dresser. No way to get to an outlet near the desk.

Dear Reviewer,

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your recent stay
with us here at The Piccadilly Inn Express. I am happy that we were
able to accommodate you with a hotel close to the airport, after you
missed your connecting flight. I am also happy to hear that you found
our rooms to be decent and clean and that our front desk staff was
helpful, we strive for great customer service. If you are ever in the
area again and need a place to stay we hope you will consider staying
with us again.
I am sorry to hear that you were not happy as to where the electrical
plug near the desk is located. All of our rooms have an added power
strip that is located under the desk. I will further advise
housekeeping to make sure the strip is not behind the furniture, but
under the desk, and easily accessible Thanks again for you review
and we hope to see you again next time you are in the Fresno area.
