I should have know when check-in guy said “you have 30 minutes to get a new room if this one is not to your liking.” Well, can you say scattering cockroaches when I light turned on. In the nightstand drawer from under the bed and at least 20 every time I turned on light in bathroom Room 158 can’t be the only one!!!

Staff was friendly and informative. The room and halls smelled like a cigarette was lit all day long. There was roaches in the fridge and bathroom. The microwave was dirty. The fridge was very dirty, unplugged and had bugs inside. The tv only had 8 working chanels. The bathroom sink had a cigarette shoved inside and it sprayed water from the back of the faucet when turned on. The floors had crumbs from previous tenats i guess. There was a 10 minute window to refuse to stay there but with no other available rooms anywhere else, we didnt have a choice. Wont be back and do not recommend at all. Especially with kids

You get what you pay, definitely inexpensive but the service was the worst part. The lady that checked us in, told the people ahead of us that she wouldn’t ever let her mom stay in this hotel. SMH.?

I didn’t end up staying. I waited fifteen minutes at the front desk and no one showed up. The sign on the front door that the property was protected by the Fresno police coupled with a sign stating that everything should be removed from my vehicle, the blatant drug abuse in the parking lot and the addicts roaming the property were totally intimidating. I expected to find my vehicle vandalized if I had stayed! The lobby was filthy inside, no wonder breakfast wasn’t provided. The employees gang tattoos didn’t help.

The sign at check-in said you had 15 mins. to decide if you were staying if you wanted a refund. It didn't take us that long to make up our minds. Sketchy surroundings, but worse conditions inside - odors, stains, vandalism, and more - this place had it all. The clerk was very helpful and kind.

We didn’t even unload our bags. As soon as we drove around the property, we knew we couldn’t stay. It was dirty, run-down, and felt completely unsafe. We left immediately. I would not recommend this place to anyone

I booked this hotel because of the price and it's proximity to the save Mart center as I was going to a concert there. I checked in about 6:30 and just dropped my bag in the room and ran to the concert. When I returned at about 11:30 p.m. I found that the room was absolutely filthy, I'm not talking a stray hair and a few fingerprints. There was urine all over the side of the toilet, hairs everywhere, every mirror was dirty with streaks and dirt and fingerprints. Old dried food inside the microwave, the little coffee machine was covered with dirt and fingerprints, the bathtub is brown with dirt, the floor was covered in dirt and sticky in some places. Definitely did not take off my shoes at any point! I wasn't expecting fancy for the price but at least it should have been clean!? I took photos of everything and went to the front desk and told them I would not be staying there. I started off polite but the man got an attitude and tried to charge me a $10 fee for"messing up the room" I showed him the photos that I did not touch anything in the room and he agreed that I would not pay a fee, hopefully I don't have to fight them over it.

Fine for one night.

Everything is very outdated. It works but some of it feels like a slum. The buildings are separate so you have to drive to get to your entrance. There’s a gate code for parking but the key entrance to my building was broken and unlocked.
