“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I've stayed at this Hotel brand a few times, but this was very disappointing. I should say that all of the staff I interacted with were polite and professional. I expect details to be attended to when one is paying 134 a night - in Fresno.

The TV guide in the room (it was the 3rd of January when I stayed) was for the prior month
The paper pad was rumpled, as if it had been there for months
In the morning, I just wanted a coffee to go. The to-go set up was not obvious, and when I asked the 'gentleman' at the bar for a coffee, he waved me to the to-go bar... there was only non-dairy creamer there. The milk containers at the regular bar were empty and with a smirk, he agreed to let me pay for a Starbucks latte so I could have real milk. For 134 a night!?

I'll be staying at the Hilton Garden Inn next time. I can find it from the street. If I had not envisioned it on Google maps, I would have never known to turn down a street and look 1/4 mile ahead... when the street I turned from was the address.. Come on Marriott (!) spend some money to keep your customers from circling in that hellhole! We are already in Fresno, how much more do you want to punish us!?

“Exactly what you would expect”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011

This Courtyard has the new lobby, bar, tables, and computer area. If you have stayed at the Courtyard before, this will be exactly what you expected it would be. Very cookie cutter. I do agree however, that it was very difficult to find and signage for the property is not clear. Even with the GPS on, I drove past the drive for the hotel 3 times before finding it.

Room Tip: Ask for the third floor...less noise

“Not great location, but nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011

A little difficult to find, since it is so far off the road, and you can only turn one way when exiting, but the hotel and staff were very good. Unfortunately, not a lot of restaurants around the hotel. They did have a bistro that served a limited choice of food. I ate here a couple times, and it was pretty good. I just had sandwiches. The rooms were nice and bed very comfortable. The A/C unit was a little loud, which in turn caused a lot of adjustment to the TV volume.

“Okay Place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 September 2011

I stayed at this property for one night. I paid $99.00 for the room. The hotel is older, but is clean and updated. Nothing special with the rooms. This hotel included the new Bistro in the lobby. I did eat a late dinner in the lobby and it was actually pretty good. The hotel is located right off of HW41 which heads up to Yosemite National Park, which is a good location. However the hotel is located behind a dumpy strip-mall (which does have a Trader Joes) - so stay hear for convenience, not views. Avoid rooms ending in 01, as these are beside the stairwells and the door into the stairwell makes a lot of noise.

“There must be a better place to stay in Fresno”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011

If you have stayed at Courtyard Marriotts before, you will find this one not as nice as most. The rooms are small, the mattresses worn and uncomfortable, and the compact refrigerators are very tiny. My major complaint is the staff, they are very impersonal and not very accommodating.I asked that my room be cleaned before a before noon every day, that couldn't be done. I asked for a late checkout, that couldn't be done.I understand that, but the staff is simply rude and doesn't seem to care. However, the housekeeping staff does a good job and is friendly. The air conditioning works quietly and efficiently.
The Wi-Fi is terrible, so we tried using the hotel's computers, what a mistake. The computers are out in the open and there is no privacy or quiet whatsoever. The Courtyard chain has redesigned their lobbies in an open design, so you can hear every conversation taking place and the vacuuming, etc. I suppose if you just want to check your email, it's ok, but don't expect to get any work done in their business center (and don't count on their wi-fi working).
