What we expected
Adequate
This room was what we expected. It was clean and comfortable. We had one issue when the shower head did not work. The front desk person wanted to argue about having it repaired. I persisted and got it repaired. All else was fine.

Short walk from hotel
Starbucks located about 5 feet away from the hotel entrance. You could walk across the street to Burger King or drive a few blocks to better dining selections.

Cheap, comfortable & clean
The staff was so friendly in every interaction I had with them. The free shuttle to the airport or train station was so helpful! The pool is a must for a quick dip on a hot Fresno day.

Stayed here for a Softball Tournament
We really liked the location. Close to everything we needed to get to. Shopping, Sports Fields, Restaurants, entertainment. Continental breakfast was good. The pool and spa area and workout room were all good. Close to Highway 41 but not bothered by noise from the Highway. We will definitely stay here again. Thanks for the discount price during the week!

Go see the Caffee Zoo, great experience. Also go to Chuckchansie Stadium, home of the Grizzlies. Friday nights they have fireworks after the game. Lots of fun. On Shaw Road go to BJ Brewery. Good food and drinks, service and atmosphere at a good price.
