Residence Inn Fresno

Stay here weekly, my home away from home. Vallon, the birthday girl, always ready to help and Derrick, always so knowledgeable. Everyone is always so helpful. Look forward to my next stay Memorial Day. Great service great rooms, great pillows and delicious breakfast. Happy Healthy Birthday Vallon. JW

I have stayed at this motel 3 days a week for several months. If I needed a motel in Fresno I would definitely return here! It is not super fancy, but it is clean, safe, quiet, and has super friendly staff that are very customer service focused! They serve a very good hot breakfast every morning. Example, Eggs, sausage, potatoes, cereal, waffles, fruit, yogurt and more… All served with great coffee! The morning staff take great pride in serving the guests! Sometimes in the evening the staff have a BBQ for the guest. The rooms are spacious and the beds are clean and fresh — very comfortable too! The kitchen in each room are set up neatly. The refrigerator and appliances work well. Overall, This is a great place for a really economical cost! Without reservation I would return again.

The rooms were nice and clean and the free breakfast was nice. Sometime during our stay our car got broken into and our things were stolen. Apparently it happens pretty frequently (more than they would like to admit) and the don’t have security cameras (to release themselves from liability). Extremely upset and angry that they didn’t seem to care because it didn’t affect them. Feel extremely angry and violated. Think twice before staying here.

Residence Inn has been my favorite and my families favorite place to stay when traveling. The rooms are very comfortable, the amenities are great, kids are able to borrow sports equipment to use the basketball courts and tennis courts, swimming here is relaxing. The rooms have a kitchen, a sofa bed and this place comes with complimentary breakfast bar. We just love staying at Residence Inn.

Reserved 5 rooms this past weekend for one night only. Being a Gold member I received an upgrade to a 2 bedroom which is great for our family of 5. Front desk staff were very nice and professional and all of our rooms were ready to go.
Hotel is very clean and spacious. The pool was great for all the kids to enjoy in the 100 degree heat, plenty of towels provided.
This is a pet friendly hotel but you wouldn’t know it unless you actually saw some animals on the property. The rooms had zero trace of any type of animal, no hair or smell.
I took one star away because of the sofa bed in our suite. My 10 year old woke up with back pain from the springs in the mattress. Other then that we will definitely be back next year.

We had 4 adults and 3 kids for one week and we were super comfortable! I requested extra towels and extra pillows when I reserved and we had plenty! The hotel was very clean and ALL were super friendly! There was roofing going on however it was a minimal disturbance. Bkfst was the usual, pork sausage, eggs, Danish, bagel, fruit. Being in this location the fruit should have been better.
Comfortable beds!
Air was perfect — no dry nose!
Water in tub was HOT!

The staff were very friendly. The rooms were clean and nice. There breakfast was very good. There was a variety to choose.

Staying here for work, I am normally from the LA area. The hotel itself is nice, rooms are small but done for just me. The bed is beyond uncomfortable, everyone morning I wake with my back in so many knots and I never get a good sleep because I’m tossing all night long. I have to be here for so long that by the time I leave I’m sure I’ll need to go see a doctor for permanent damage. I may have to try the sofa bed instead. My bathroom shower floor creaks like an old wood floor would, and the closet door constantly comes off the tracks to the point where I just leave it open and have shifted my stuff to one side. The kitchen is super small with only two burners and it barely fits a large pot and a skillet, so cooking is an adventure. The «gym» is so tiny, it has two treadmills, one elliptical and some free weights… I understand is a hotel but I have seen way more equipment in a hotel before. This room is so tiny that if your in there with others you have scoot out of their way so they can pass by.
On the plus, my room it’s cleaned daily including any dishes I have. There is complimentary breakfast daily with lots of items, not just continental. Monday through Wednesday they have complimentary beer and wine and some food too in the evening.

Great hotel, friendly staff, clean room and great happy hour with free beer & wine.

Stayed there this past weekend (2÷15÷15). We were given a suite and upon walking into the bathroom sink, we noticed a huge wet spot. Called into front desk and since we were already situated we didn’t feel like moving room. A few minutes later we noticed that the ac/​heater vent was located in the bedroom which generated a constant white noise which bothered our 2 year old girl. Who would put a constant fan such as the ac/​heater vent within feet of the sleeping quarter? I walked underneath the vent and it was at that time that the wet carpet was caused by a leak from the vent. We were moved to the room next door but found that the bed squeaked so loud. Every time anyone of us turn, the bed make such an annoying and loud squeak that none of us slept through the night.
This is by no mean an expensive room in general but it is the priciest room that night in Fresno at $ 170. I’m not expecting 5 star experience but I would have gotten a better rest at a 2 star best western and I expect things to work as intended.
Needless to say, we are not coming back.

Pet-friendly…maybe too pet friendly it may get scary
I walk from parking lot back to the café, there’s this big dog, even the owner barely have enough force to hold on her big crazy barking dog that was about to attack me when I just stood there giving them way to walk as I stand aside.
The place is quite old, can tell based on the elevator.
The hotel card always gets deactivated, always a hazzle to go back to front desk to get it activated.
Really not convenient location, even though it seems to be nearby an freeway, not the bigger freeway 99…
Breakfast-​ok.
Wifi-​Free
Doggy poo station in a corner… stay away from smelly corner…

Super nice staff… thanks to Derrick who kept my computer bag safe until I could pick it up. And yes I will be giving a reward/​finders fee to housekeeping.

Clean, big rooms and reasonably priced. Solid A– on the bed. Solid B+ on the in-​room coffeemaker, fridge, free breakfast. Less than stellar gym. Friendly but inept service.

This hotel is nice and clean but boy the wait for the cab was so long all restaurants stopped serving food. We asked for taxi at 8:30pm, it’s 9:15pm now and we are still waiting outside! I know it’s not the hotel’s fault but they should tell us more accurate timing of the cab’s arrival so we don’t have to wait 45 min. 5 of 5 restaurants closed at 9pm. We’ll be lucky if we get food somewhere at a fast food now!!! The staff said he called Liberty cab but when we checked them on Unilocal one person reviewed this company doesn’t drive at night? I would not do business with them again, it reflects badly on you…
We had to go to Yard House for dinner because everything closed by the time taxi arrived :-(
We stayed at 2 other Marriotts in this town before (my partner does some business here and comes down every 2 weeks or so) and this one is the best of them all — it has a tennis court, nice breakfast (only till 9am — that sucks for those of us who sleep in), nice pool (but it closes at 10pm so you can’t go into the Jakuzzi after dinner), they had happy hour but the wine was not drinkable :(
And the snacks were sugary sweets. Something healthier would be much better.
The rooms are nice and having kitchen is a plus for us. They have plenty of parking and very small gym (4 cardio machines and free weights), we walked in to exercise but the room is so small we couldn’t fit two of us in there together. Upgrade on the gym is needed.

I essentially echo most of the recent reviews:
1. Nicely renovated mini-​suites with small, but fully functional, kitchen. Nice working space. Full bed was small and not very supportive. Choice of both down and hypo-​allergenic pillows! Fairly fast free WiFi.
2. Decent location, about 2 blocks off Blackstone (the major north-​south street). Walking distance to Trader Joes.
3. Priceline had a glitch in their system, but the front desk clerk (I’m guessing college student) was amazingly polite and apologetic about the wait (wasn’t Marriott’s fault).
4. The breakfast area was too crowded for my tastes, so I don’t have feedback on the food.
If Marriott is going to advertise this as a non-​smoking facility, they need to build a covered smoking area away from the building. As others have mentioned, smoking guests hang out near the exterior doors and are far from considerate. Some may consider this nitpicking, but I’ve stayed at other Residence Inns in California and never experienced this problem on such a consistent basis.

I brought my family here for the weekend and loved it! The hallways do have a slight smell to them, but not enough for me to reduce my star rating. I love the kitchenette! A grocery store is across the street so you can make your own lunches and dinner! Pool is warm and clean. Staff is great! I will stay again!

Perfect stay! Above and beyond thank u!
Absolutely loved our stay. They really go above and beyond here. There was even popcorn in the room for us and the cleanest bathroom we have had in a Marriott to date! Thank u!!!

This is the second time I have stayed at this location. I have stayed at many other hotels in Fresno and this is one of my favorites. I am a business traveler and come to Fresno every other month or so.
I didn’t realize there was a large farming convention so the hotel was sold out and so busy when I checked in. The ladies had obviously been working hard and looked tired but were serving myself and other customers with a smile and a positive attitude. I happen to come during happy hour so I was able to get a free bud light as I check in too!
My room was clean and nice. These have a full kitchen which would be nice if you were staying longer than one night.
This is definitely one of my top 2 hotels that I will now stay at in Fresno when traveling for work.

Great room, great price. I get a small 1br apt with complete mini kitchen with pots, pans and everything for $ 86 a night. Decent breakfast layout and even a dinner social every night… home run!

This Residence Inn has a fun game to play. Upon check in, you are asked to roll dice in order to win prizes. They range from thousands of Marriott Rewards Points to beverages to tote bags and mugs. I won a beverage from the refrigerated case in the lobby.
Close to (within walking distance) of a Trader Joe’s and the mall, this hotel is situated off
This Residence Inn looks older than most I’ve stayed in. The elevator’s inspection date had passed by 3 months and there were scratches and marks on some of walls. The rooms were fair-​to-​middling and the welcome kit was stocked with water (that you have to pay $ 2.50 for if you open it) and microwave popcorn.
The best part of staying at any Residence Inn is the Manager’s Reception in the late afternoon Monday through Friday. Each night is a different theme: Italian, Mexican, Barbeque, etc. You can fill up on this and have no need for dinner. Fresno isn’t known for it’s innovative cuisine, so this may be your best bet.
I was VERY disappointed in the breakfast offerings. Dry potatoes, dry pre-​made English muffins stacked with eggs and sausage, congealed oatmeal… the list could go on. You’re better off starting your day with food purchased from the grocery store.
If I needed to divest myself of some Marriott Rewards points, I’d stay here again, but other than that – NO.
