Top Fresno Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn Fresno Yosemite Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Our company loves Quality Inn. This is amongst a few hotels that our crew loves. They are easy to work with and staff are always friendly. When we requested a refund for a night we were not able to use due to our project getting done sooner than expected, they issue a refund right away. Quality Inn is just a delight to work with. Will definitely recommend and come back again, for sure!"

Sonesta ES Suites Fresno

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were friendly. Quiet and spacious room. Breakfast was very good; eggs, sausages, potatoes with chirizo were the main. Unfortunately, the pancake machine was not working. I added walnuts, rasins, pumpkin seeds and pecans to my granola."

Hotel Piccadilly

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great, I stayed one night. The room was amazing although a little hard to find at night but worth it. Big rooms, in house soaps/conditioners, plenty of tv options. The restaurant was expensive after looking at prices but very nice looking. Pool looked amazing at night, lime trees throughout our walk around the grounds. They even had putting green, dog area and vending machines. I missed the breakfast though, wish I could have made it in time. Everything was great, will stay again if I need to."
