Hotels near 7-Eleven, Fresno

My husband and I paid for a night at University Square Hotel, but we left before sundown (something we’ve never done before) because we didn’t feel safe for ourselves, or safe to leave our car in their parking lot. The property itself is an older hotel, built in the 80’s and in need of renovation. That is fine, as we expected not the best condition given the low price. The rooms are large, and it seems like it was probably a perfectly nice place years ago. The biggest problem is the very sketchy tenants who seem (judging from a conversation b/w a tenant and the housekeeping staff) to be living there. We should have worried when we had to sign a waiver stating that no “drugs, including *********, illegal activities, domestic violence or pets” would be allowed. Never seen that before. Also, they required a $100 “room security deposit” in addition to the hotel rental fee. The hallways and elevator smelled strongly of ****. The floors etc were very dirty and the place was generally beaten up. Inside the door of our building was a large hand written sign warning that any residents who propped the self locking door open would be required to leave, along with their guests. Every time we went thru the door we noticed that the corner of the rug was pushed up into the door frame, which prevented the door from closing all the way (and locking). I am sorry if this sounds snobby, but the only other guests we saw looked like they had recently been living on the street. The car next to ours in the parking lot was in such bad shape - it really looked like it should be in a junk yard. We saw a couple of people circling the building on skateboards and checking the door (the one that isn’t supposed to be propped open). Not sure what was up with that but it didn’t give us a good feeling. The air conditioning does not work well, and our room never got below 78 degrees. We asked at the desk about the A/C and they guy said it was because the thermostat was controlled by motion sensor. Not sure what happens when you go to sleep. Does the A/C just turn off? The photos on their website must be a number of years old. If we had known what it was really like we never would have made a reservation. We ended up deciding to just move and pay for a different hotel rather than risk our car in the parking lot and ourselves in the room - didn’t think we would be able to sleep anyway.

The sttay have been very excellent 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾..

The hotel was amazing. Nice room. Very clean, it even smelled wonderful. I had the do not disturb on every day because I worked midnights and they did a welfare check. Thats above and beyond. They also messaged me each day to see how my stay was going. Also, the hotel is not in a bad area by any means but they still had security on site at night. Highly recommend.

Outstanding service from Langdon who greeted us with a smile and was very professional. The room was clean and quiet. We were happy with the breakfast offerings - breakfast sandwiches, yogurt, fruit, oatmeal, cereal, milk, juice, pastries. Nice convenient location next to the airport. Good value for choice privileges members at 10K points. Only drawback was that the pool wss closed for maintenance.

Belonging to a motel, the room is quite big, the bed is big, clean and tidy, stayed for one night, had breakfast, not bad, the check-out procedure is relatively simple, just give the room card directly.

Really very very, very dissatisfied with a stay Hotel service is very good, the front desk is also very enthusiastic, but the hotel's hardware is really desperate. The hotel is very poorly soundproof. The three-story fountain in the lobby facing the lobby is very noisy all night, and you can hear the sound of the toilet next door in the evening. The air-conditioning noise of the hotel is also very loud. The sound of the bang is completely unable to sleep. It is almost impossible to sleep after being awakened by the train outside at 4 am.

I heard from customers that the surrounding area is not very safe, so I took everything in the car to the room. Actually, it was OK, nothing happened. The room is quite big.

The room space is good, parking is free, breakfast is a little less neat and orderly, there are few choices, and some of the missing categories are not fully replenished. The accommodation is OK.

i stayed here feb 19 for a few days,the staff was very friendly,the room on the 4th floor faced the freeway but was very clean and quiet, the bed and pillows were outstanding!!!! wish i could have taken the pillows home!!! the hotel has breakfast in the mornings and was great different items each morning,really a great way to start the day,the food was very good and staff kept everything fresh!!!lots of fast-food places within walking distance(short short)walk and also a denny,its right off the freeway and another motel it almost seemed like an unsafe area but i had no problems what so ever,excellent decor to eat brkfst in,tv,fireplace...again my room was really clean,microwave fridge iron and board well worth it,they have a pool and free beer and wine in the evenings
