Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by businesstraveler100 Large rooms but poor maintenance
I stayed at this Holiday Inn for two nights on a business trip. There were a number of problems during my stay. While the room was large, it was not very clean, the air conditioning did not work, housekeeping did not leave towels after the first day, there was no clock in the room, only one bar of soap in the bathroom, and no one in the hotel could change a $5 bill so I could tip the bartender. They attempted to fix these issues with moderate success. They never did correct the air conditioning issue-- it is central air and this was during late Feb., so I can't imagine what it would be like in the summer! Can't recommend this property.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Cinco555 The only place to stay in Fresno
I stay here every time I go to visit family in Fresno. Always spotlessly clean, friendly and efficient front desk, comfortable rooms, everything I like. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by ZinCa Old, Run Down, needs repaired badly
I have been forced to stay at this hotel many times over the last few years. Although the rooms are clean and nice sized there isn't much else redeeming about this property. It is located in a very rough area in Downtown Fresno. There is absolutely Zero way to cool your room to a reasonable temperature. I hope you like 74-78 degrees. The staff and owner lies to you about if the heating/air system works and it is a joke among the staff as everyone knows it doesn't work. The bar and restaurant are understaffed or not staffed almost always and getting breakfast timely in the morning is near impossible. Honestly I could not recommend this hotel to anyone as my experiences have always been extremely poor compared to other Holiday Inn properties that I frequently visit.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Bagel1 Not what was expected
I have traveled all over the country and, as a Gold Member, this was probably the worst experience I have had with any of the IHG hotels.
The staff was great, very friendly and helpful. The food was typical of IHG hotels, although the eggs I had, one breakfast, were prepared poorly.
However, the room, located street side, was very noisy and did not block much of the sound coming from outside. The bathroom, while typical for a hotel, had almost no water pressure. I had a wheelchair accessible room and did expect to bend down a bit for the shower, as I'm over 6 foot, but the fact that the water was mostly dribbling out of the shower had caused a normal 8 minute shower to take almost 20. The sink was better but not by much.
I did mention this to the front desk staff and they immediately sent someone up but it was unresolved.
If I were to travel back to that area I would most likely not visit this hotel again.

This property is always a pleasant experience. Everyone from the owner to the housekeeping staff works hard to make their guests comfortable. Café 1055 does an excellent job of making sure the guests are well fed and taken care of.

When we arrived to the room it was very stuffy. We tried to use the air but it did not work. We had to open the window to which brought in all the noise from the bus stop located right outside. We called the front desk and was told they would look into. Fortunately we were only there for one night. By the time we left the AC unit was still not working.

I've been staying at this hotel for a number of years, and they've really bent over backwards to make their guests feel like they are among friends.
I'm looking forward to going there again!

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by TahoWabo A Great Place to Stay while in Fresno
This Hotel is a great place to stay while in Fresno. It is close to all things you need to do or want to do in Fresno with a lovely view of the park across the street. It is close to the convention center and some great restaurants. It also has a casino next door if you like to do a little gambling before hitting the hay. We have stayed here twice now and both times the rooms were quite and clean.

Overall it was a good stay at this hotel. I did have trouble with the door lock but a very nice young lady (Becca) at the front desk was very helpful. It is employees like her that make me come back to Holiday Inn.

Your hotel property and it's personnel is fabulous ! We come to Fresno four times a year to hold our State Council meetings. Your staff treats us with the utmost respect and courtesy and your hotel is well cared for. I'm sure we will be using your hotel for years to come.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by HollyCow Do not stay here! Seriously do not stay here!
I am a loyal Holiday Inn customer and understand some might be better than others for one reason or another. I am also a pretty forgiving traveler. With that said, I would sleep in my car before staying here again.
The air condition did not work. I was not aware of this until I got to my room. I called the front desk to find out not only did it not work but this has been a ongoing problem.
The wi-fi was not available. I was told becuase of the number of guest in the hotel that it was over loaded.
The bar and resturant are not very good. The food was cold and terrible.
Overall the hotel is old, dirty, and the rooms are no better. I have not been in a hotel that was such a disappointment on every level before.
Th worst part is the staff is no better. They seem to have settled on the level of the hotel and act like this is what you get.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Disappointedhere Never attend this hotel
There are some factors that can't be controlled like a bad neighborhood. I had requested during my reservation an early check in. Had to wait three hours before getting a room. The air conditioning was not working in the room/hotel. I had to call 5 times to get a real answer. The food was not good at all. I was super disappointed at this Holiday Inn. I checked out early and went to another Holiday Inn he following day.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by rbuck5 This is a Holiday Inn???
I would be embarassed to recommend this hotel to a friend or family member. The internet connection in my room was lousy. The air conditioning did not work. When I called front desk, they said they would send a maintenance man up to my room to look at it. I called back down every 15 - 20 minutes and got the same answer. He never did come to my room. All in all this stay was the type of stay I would expect from a one star Hotel. I expect better from Holiday Inn.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Disappointed1 Nice hotel, terrible neighborhood
While this hotel has clearly been recently remodeled, it is clear that neighborhood surrounding it has not. There are no restaurants within walking distance and the majority of what you can see from the hotel is either people coming in and out of the adjoining casino, folks doing "business" in the back alley, or a continual parade of homeless people circling the hotel.
I was attending a conference at the Radison and was told by the front desk that it was a short block and a half walk away. Unfortunately, it was more like 4 1/2 blocks through a very sketchy neighborhood (and this was at 8:30 in the morning!).
This was my first visit to Fresno, but I have to imagine that there are nicer areas to stay than the clearly severly economically depressed downtown area.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by jwillee Do Not Stay Here
I travel extensively for work and stay at a lot of hotels. Rarely do I ever review or complain about a stay. I just simply don't go back. This hotel is one of the worst by far and I feel compelled to let others know about it short comings.
Shower head does not work well - dribbles 3-4 streams of water. When I'm tired from a long day's work, the least I should get is a good shower. Bathroom was FILTHY! Special hairs on the toilet handle - HORRIBLE!
Even though I was on the top floor which was gated, there were weird people coming in and out all night. I DID NOT feel safe.
Carpet was sticky and bed smelled weird.
Front desk staff was non existent. One person to help half a dozen during check in is ridiculous. NO MANAGEMENT TO BE FOUND!
I will never come back to this location. Traveler BEWARE!

This hotel is worth checking out if you are in Fresno. The rooms are spacious and nice, along with a great view from the balcony.
The Wi-Fi worked well. The staff was very friendly.
