Our room was located in the back of the building. Definitely a budget value room. The door looked like it had been "breached" recently. Our room was located in the back of the building. Definitely a budget value room. The door looked like it had been "breached" recently.

Maybe my standards aren't as high as others' because I can overlook small "messes" in a room that has been cleaned. There was a dead bug on the floor - it could have died there after the room was cleaned. Also there was a strand of hair and a small piece of yard debris on the bathroom floor that had been left after being mopped over and left behind by said mop. But my biggest complaint about the room itself was that there were no clothes hangers and no towel racks or hooks. Plus, I was a little disappointed that there was no coffee pot and coffee in the room. However, the refrigerator was nice and roomy with a good sized freezer on top (sorry about the mess I left behind when I put my wet ice packs in the freezer to refreeze).

The AC works well. However, the rooms are very basic. No dresser/hanger. No toiletries, only a piece of soap bar. Dirty floors, and the room smells very badly. Overall, poor amenities. I did not want to write the negatives, but I think it will help the management. The hotel management can improve this situation if they are willing to with no or a very few fixes/costs.

I had an extremely disappointing stay at this hotel. I specifically booked a room with two beds, as we were two people traveling together. However, upon check-in, we were given a room with only one bed. When we raised this issue with the front desk, they reassigned us to another room, but the new room had a strong smell of cigarette smoke, which made it impossible to stay in. After returning to the front desk yet again, we were told there were no other rooms with two beds available. In the end, we were forced to stay in a single-bed room, which meant one of us had no proper place to rest. This completely ruined our stay. The lack of attention to detail, poor room conditions, and inability to resolve our problem were unacceptable. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free experience.

This was my first time staying at University Inn. I was impressed and the price was reasonable. I plan to book it again next time when I'm in town if they keep up this quality.

This is an old building in central California across the street from Fresno State University. You're not able to check in until 3:00 nor will this hotel take bags. It's a bit run down. It's a bit of a maze to get around the hotel with certain doors locked and on third doors unlocked getting back in. It's a bit eerie this hotel.

The location

Like it’s advertised, a no frills hotel and the price was right. It was clean, quiet & convenient. Walking Distance to the Savemart Center where we were going for a concert. No coffee, and no closet. We would stay there again.

So mad about my stay. Lady said that i needed to wait for my deposit until room was checked and then 10 mins later said my towel was a little dirty so that they normally would keep deposit. I am so frustrated about that my towel was not a little dirty .and I can’t believe how they are are over a towel that could be washed. Makes me so upset and not want to ever to use hotels.com again and I use every weekend. I will definitely not go back to hotel or refer anyone.

The shower's curtain was too high, so it floods the entire bathroom. The bathroom door was not safely attached and it was wet in the bottom from previous flooding. The toilet seat was lose.

ThI location is good because it’s right across save mart. However, the hotel would benefit from working on its exterior and also updating some stuff in rooms. For one night, it was fine.

I have stayed here previously.My only complaint would still be the front desk attitude which is not gracious or even friendly. This has been every time I've come here despite who is waiting on me. I like the convenient location and it's cleanliness. Starbucks is right next door as is restaurants, a liquor store, ATM and bus stop at curb. The rooms are always immaculate. The bath towels are luxurious. The sheets are so soft and that's a huge plus with sensitive skin. The bed, the mattress is so comfortable it must be gel. The oversized pillows are squeezable and just the perfect amount of firm. The shower is beautifully tiled but, can be slippery so, if you have a balance issue please note that currently there is no handicap rack to hold on to. There is a small frig n microwave in this room but the other room I was in previously had a beautiful full size red vintage model and the room was tastefully decorated. This room is the same rdless, this is a pleasant place to stay. The prices do fluctuate however on a daily basis.price but is simply decorated. It seems the east side of this motel has more action going on. In the back and upstairs I hardly heard anything. Rega

Needs better customer service! And enforce rules after certain hours of the day! There were a lot of people up and down the stairs & lots of noise upstairs until 2ish AM. Horrible night, did not get a good night's rest. Disappointed because rules were told at check in and we signed agreeing to those rules but yet others did not obey them. I highly suggest enforcing the rules & security personnel to ensure that parties and people are under control.

In addition, this neighborhood seems to have safety issue. Parking lot close gates at night, front desk security, security patrols at night etc…..
