OK, so my husband and I were doing our first 12 hour day traveling and stopped in Fresno. The hotel LOOKS nice from the photos but - OH NO! Upon driving up to the hotel, there were droves of homeless people outside, trash EVERYWHERE, I wasn't even out of my car yet and a resident manlady of the night (you could tell) that hauled butt through the parking lot, got out and started working. You could tell she must live there.. As it was late and we had no where else to go, we stayed.
Our room was along the back side of the hotel, we thought we'd be safe in the back corner away from the bums. Upon pulling in, it was clear the rooms had long time tenants and a few were actually BBQing in the door ways of their rooms. We got situated in our room, and not long after we hear a *knock knock knock*.. We open the door to find a Fresno PD standing there asking if our car was the one he was pointing to. We said yes, he said someone in the hotel was using it as target practice and shooting BBs at it, and he asked that we make sure nothing was damaged. Luckily it wasn't..
Our room was MUCH darker and dingier than the images shown. The room smelt pretty bad. I sprayed poopari all over the room to help with the smell. You could tell it hadn't been cleaned well, as the room looked like a CSI crime scene with how many fingerprints and smudge marks you could easily see all over every surface.
