The San Joaquin Suites are inviting from the street. The side street lined with tall fruit bearing orange trees are a nice touch. You have a choice between renovated and non-renovated rooms. The cost difference is significant. Choose renovated. Night and day. Non are smelly, with worn bed mattresses (very uncomfortable), carpets, and tired furnishings. The refurbished rooms are stylish... More

I travel regularly on business and I'm always looking to save my organization money, especially on hotels. I booked this hotel because I my husband and I had stayed before and the room was nice. I was aware that some of the rooms had been remodeled but there were a few that were not. I asked the attendant if my... More

We were also perfectly based here to go to Yosemite NP which is stunning & go a bit further over the high sierras(11,000feet... More

Loved this little boutique hotel. The suites were fantastic - and so was the price! Great pool, nice gardens, fountains, and statues all right off Shaw Ave which will get you back and forth to the University and other Fresno locations. Don't hesitate, if you're in Fresno for business, pleasure, or just visiting, this place is a no-brainer. More

I grew up in Fresno so I was familiar with the location which was perfect for my stay while attending my high school reunion. The outside of the "suite" hotel looked nice, as did the reception area. The pool area was very nice, as was the atrium where a nice breakfast was served. BUT, the room was horrible. Furniture was... More

I booked this hotel online as it provided the perfect stop over for our roadtrip between San Francisco, Yosemite Park and Las Vegas. On arrival, we were taken aback by the beauty of the reception area and hotel courtyard which has a lovely pool in the middle of a beautifully cared for garden. Stunning setting! Hence our expectation of the... More

I was definitely on the fence about this hotel when reading the comments left by past guests, but something kept telling me to check it out anyway on my own. So I called the hotel and the agent was very helpfull while explaining the differences between the two types of rooms that they offerd. She sensed my reluctance and she... More

After looking at the hotel website photos the hotel looked like a great value. But once we got there it was a completely different story! The hotel is basically an old apartment complex they have made into a hotel. The room they booked us in had plaster missing from the wall, the sheet rock wasn't finished from where they must... More

We were looking for a comfortable place to stay on our driving vacation. We wanted a safe neighborhood in a relatively clean room for a great price. We found that at the San Joaquin. The hotel location was conveniently located for us and in a safe and quiet neighborhood. Service was excellent and the staff was helpful. The grounds were... More
