Robert, Fresno

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was ready and responsive to assist with my check-in. The credit card reader was causing a delay so we moved to a different device and everything went smoothly. Very friendly and courteous staff. The lobby and elevators were clean and tidy. Only complaint was the stained bed linens and pillow cases. Also, material from the bottom of the bed mattress was coming out. Since my room had two beds, I used the other. A slight minor convenience but I would return.

Good choice if you don’t mind trains

It was not mentioned anywhere that at 1:15am and then again at 4:15am the horn of a train would blast through the city. There’s nothing quite like it! Great for the heart.
