I stayed at this hotel in April 2012 on business. I got there early for check-in and I had to wait three hours before they could put me in a room. Whereas, another lady walked up to the front desk clerk a little later started speaking in Spanish and joking with her and she was given a room immediately. I... More

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Fresno Downtown Convention Center to attend a concert at the Saroyan Theater. The hotel was nice and the restaurant was great for breakfast. The bar was ok - very small and not open after 10 PM. The hotel was walking distance to the Saroyan Theater, but the hotel staff did not recommend walking back... More

This hotel should be the next location for a final sequel in the Dawn Of The Dead film series. The fun began for me in the parking lot below the hotel, a public facility with no security and/or prohibited access. Immediately upon parking for check-in, dazed & confused crackheads and boozed-up homeless characters began slowly limping towards my vehicle. I... More

I walked into this hotel in the middle of the night without a reservation. My husband was in a nearby hospital. The staff was nice, the hotel seemed clean, the room all right and the night was quiet. Since I arrived at midnight by taxi, I saw nothing of the outside mentioned by other reviewers, I was sleep deprived and... More

I would never stay at this privately owned Holiday Inn again. The property is connected to a Casino, and the underground parking elevator provides access to everyone to the hotel room floors, Security is poor to nil. Rooms are dirty, stains on the carpet, towels that are fit for a car wash. Dining here makes Denny's proud, not what you... More

Hotel is beautiful but lacked a few things. Towels were old and looked like rags at the car wash where they use it to wipe down your vehicle. Even though I didn't get service (did not have my do not disturb sign up) the housekeepers were friendly. More

Ok, I booked this hotel because I generally enjoy staying at Holiday Inn facilities. I redeemed my points to book the room. We arrived late to a very dark part of downtown Fresno. So far, so good. I went in and checked in.. again, so far so good although nothing special for being a rewards member. Went to park in... More

Member of a large party block booking and assured that a smoking room had been booked. Arrived to find that all four such rooms had already been allocated and despite not turning up until 5:00pm our rooms were not ready (shortage of staff given as the excuse). Went down to bar for pre-dinner drink and barman took our order, poured... More

Okay, let me start by saying the rooms were fine. Clean, well decorated, nice size but a little noisy from the street. I traveled to a conference in Fresno and was checking in with other co-workers at 9:30 pm. There were easily 4 people at the front desk and only one checking folks in. It took forever. I needed to...
