Visitors often spoke highly of the good customer service provided by a friendly, professional and efficient team of employees. Animal lovers were pleased with the pet-friendly policy.

Those prioritizing affordability were chuffed with the usually inexpensive room rates and said they got reasonable value for money. There was frequent praise for the revamped rooms with wood-effect flooring, modern flat-screen televisions and new look decor. Many travellers mentioned that the rooms were well-cleaned with effective climate control, making them more than satisfactorily comfortable for a stopover.

Reviewers liked the way there were amenities like petrol stations, bus stops, shopping options and places to eat in the surrounding blocks. Furthermore, drivers said it was easily accessible from downtown Fresno, which was a short drive away as were the airport, academic institutions and shopping centres. The free parking and the proximity of the Yosemite Freeway also appealed. Outdoors enthusiasts loved being within striking distance of ski resorts, beauty spots and several national parks, offering a stunning backdrop for walking, climbing, mountain biking and wildlife watching.

It annoyed many guests that they faced additional charges in order to use this property's Wi-Fi network.

Maintenance and cleanliness issues like slow-draining water and insufficiently cleaned bedroom floors and bathrooms bothered some guests as did small showers. The lack of in-room features like microwaves, fridges and hairdryers also disappointed some critics.

Several rooms facing the road were reportedly exposed to occasional traffic noise, which caused a disturbance for light sleepers at times. Some travellers also voiced mild security concerns. However, there were reassuring security patrols and surveillance cameras covering the car park.
