The Spotlight on University Square Hotel

Comfortable Fresno Stay Just Minutes from the Music


Warm, inviting, and conveniently located, the University Square Hotel in Fresno offers a laid-back atmosphere just under a mile from California State University Fresno. With cozy rooms featuring rich colors, dark wood furnishings, and practical amenities like free WiFi and cable TV, this hotel blends comfort with value. A peaceful courtyard with a pool and hot tub makes it a relaxing base for music fans in town for a big night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the hotel’s close proximity to top Fresno venues and free shuttle service to the Amtrak Train Station—making it easy to catch shows without the parking hassle. The courtyard pool and hot tub offer a great way to unwind post-concert, and the quiet location means you can actually get some rest after the encore. While check-in starts at 3:00 PM and checkout is at 11:00 AM, staff are friendly and flexible when possible.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a chill spot to crash after a night out
  • Solo travelers catching a long-awaited artist
  • Couples who want a relaxed weekend with great tunes
  • Fans who crave quiet after the show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t offer on-site dining, guests will find plenty of walkable eateries nearby for pre- or post-show bites. Breakfast is available, which is a major plus after a late night. Though there’s no 24/7 room service, the central location means you won’t go hungry.

Nightlife Options

Although the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it’s just a short ride from Fresno’s bars, lounges, and concert venues. Whether you’re heading to a show or looking for a nightcap, nightlife options are easily accessible, and the hotel’s peaceful vibe offers a good balance.

What People Say

Reviewers love the hotel’s friendly staff, comfortable beds, and relaxing pool area. The location gets high marks for being safe and convenient, especially for those using the train station shuttle or attending events at the university. Many guests mention the value for money and the laid-back atmosphere.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests have noted that the hotel is a bit dated in places, and the decor could use a refresh. Occasional comments also mention limited breakfast options—but for the price and location, most find it a fair trade-off.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to Fresno for a concert and want a comfortable, affordable base close to the venues, University Square Hotel hits the right notes.

Jennifer, Bakersfield , visiting Save Mart Center

Liked: Clean. Good location.
Disliked: The air conditioner seemed to not be working. When I called to let them know up front they offered to move our room BUT the distance from our room to the office was far enough to get back in the car and drive back to the office so we decided to turn it to on, and go on with our evening. 5 hours later, we came back and it was cooled off enough to sleep so we stayed but if you'd like to actually feel air coming out - not going to happen! Older hotel.

Passable

Liked: I liked the price. The room was very roomy.
Disliked: A.C did not work and the room the tried to replace me with smelled like smoke so I just went back to the room with no A.C. I left an expensive portable charger in the room and went back to ask if housekeeper turned it in and they did not. Also elevator did not work and we were on 3rd floor with a lot of luggage.?Seen many rockers in restroom as well
