The management tries, but cannot maintain their large hotel. Low prices and large rooms make business stays practical.

Older Hotel but decent in a pinch
The University hotel is an older hotel that seen it's day. It's a large hotel, split between 3 or 4 buildings.The grounds are run down, large metal gates surrounding the hotel grounds, but one can see it was once quite a grand place. There are signs reading that the hotel is enforced by Fresno PD. It feels like it may provide local housing assistance as well as lodging. That said, our stay was comfortable. Our room was very large, with older, somewhat rundown furniture. The bathroom was large and clean. The room itself, though dated, was clean. There was some family noise from nearby rooms, not fighting but families with kids, talking, some laughing, but kinda loud. Not a hotel problem, but indictive of the clientele - families and folks needing a decent low-cost stay, be it short or extended. Overall, a decent stay if you need a low cost hotel in Fresno. Its a 2 star place, can feel a little sketch, but for our needs (in at night, out in the morning) it was fine. If you need a few days for a stay, I'd look elsewhere.

This hotel / homeless shelter is a combination of a hotel and a location where low income families live never expected that at this location I walked in and I was overwhelmed by the smell of marijuana and with people with tattoos all over their face and neck area I would not recommend this location to no one

Hotel in progress
When I arrived, the check in process was really smooth. The room has lots of potential. The area is is very appealing. But the hotel has aged and needs maintaining and could be a gem. I booked this place due to an emergency and it did the job. I got test and was quite. Had micro, fridge, and coffee maker. The check out was a quick. It be nice if it gets a make over.
