Why Concert-goers love it

Just a quick drive from the Save Mart Center, this hotel makes it easy to get to and from shows without the stress. Guests appreciate the peaceful atmosphere for winding down after a high-energy night, and the 24-hour front desk helps with late arrivals. With plenty of dining and ride-share options nearby, you can grab a bite or a ride even after midnight. Plus, the outdoor pool and hot tub are perfect for a post-show soak.

Whether you're craving a midnight snack or a pre-show meal, it’s all walkable. Complimentary breakfast is offered daily – a lifesaver after a late night. Though room service isn’t available, the in-room microwave and mini-fridge make late-night leftovers an easy win.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t feature a bar or live entertainment, you’re within easy reach of Fresno’s nightlife scene. Nearby lounges and bars offer everything from chill craft cocktails to dance floors that keep going until late. It’s easy to hop in a rideshare and enjoy the city after the show.

What People Say

Guests love the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, as well as the friendly staff and convenient location. Many reviewers mention the quiet atmosphere, which makes it perfect for a restful night after a concert. The value for money is another standout, especially given the amenities like the pool and free breakfast.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is a bit basic in decor, and while it’s not a luxury experience, it delivers where it counts. A few reviews mention that the breakfast selection could be improved, but most agree it’s a nice bonus at this price point.

The Bottom Line

A smart, affordable, and quiet base for concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and easy access to Fresno’s top music venues.

We went to Fresno for...

Liked: The site was nice and clean.
Disliked: Unfortunately, the elevator went out of service so everyone had to use the stairs, which would have been fine except for the fact that our bedroom wall was the wall next to the stair door. We heard that door open and close all night and then start up again at 5 am. Needless to say, we were exhausted when we chose to check out at 8 am . When I mentioned it to the front desk, she laughed and said, “I know, right! Those doors are so loud!” Had that elevator issue had not happened, I’m sure I would’ve given a 10 out of 10.

Liked: We were just passing through and I'm always hesitant to book a hotel in an area I'm not familiar with. Especially traveling without my husband and with my kids. I felt safe in the parking lot and the hotel. And it was so very clean. The staff were so kind and knowledgeable. All in all it was a great stop.

Booking a 3rd stay now....

Liked: This is our 2nd stay at this location. Very convenient to the mall and restaurants. Great breakfast in the morning with a good selection of eats.
Disliked: We had a suite with 1 king bed and a couch, but the couch was not a sleeper type couch. My son had to sleep the best way he could since he could not stretch out on the couch.

Great hotel in Fresno!

Disliked: Breakfast was good, but it's a shame that plastic is still being used in the 21st century.
