Booked this place through Hotwire & was concerned about the number of negative reviews. However, the hotel turned out to be fine. This place was once part of the Picadilly chain & was renamed which may have caused some confusion in the ratings. The property is being renovated so parts did show wear. We made sure to ask for a renovated room which we found very servicible. The bed was very comfy and the room quiet. The TV was an old CRT Mitsubishi which was sub-par. The breakfast was very good with the eggs, sausage, waffles, etc. Location was great for us and there were a number of restaurants along Shaw & shopping in the vicinity. There were minor irritations like the door key reader was persnickity and the ice machine was not working. The staff however, was very accommisdating & did a great job. This turned out to be a great value for the money. Three star is apt, aslong as you get a renovated room.

This is an older hotel that is very clean and well maintained. The rooms are large and well appointed, the beds are very comfortable, too. The breakfast was great, it had eggs, sausage, make your own waffles, fruit, ect. It also had a full time attendant to keep things fully stocked and clean. The pool and hot tub were really nice, they also had towels and lounge chairs and umbrellas. Overall this was a great value for the Fresno area, it is very close to Savemart Arena and great food. It shares a parking lot with Black Angus and Marie Callenders. They warn to not leave valuables in your vehicle, but that is typical for most hotels, we had no problems during our stay. Overall I would definitely stay here again if in the Fresno area.

Pros:
location next to fresno state
decent breakfast
nice pool
uncle harry's bagels
staff very courteous

Cons:
smells of smoke in some areas
parking lot can be a little loud

Overall:
Good value for the money, if you are looking for 5 star probably not for you

This place is a haven when I come to Fresno for work and can't face the 3-hour drive back to Oakland. The rooms are very spacious and airy, the showers have double showerheads (!), the beds are comfortable. All business hotels should be like this.
