Holiday Inn Express & Suites Fresno South

Do your self a favor and do not stay at this Hotel… NO SECURITY! Our back window was smashed out and luggage stolen. Between 10pm and 6am… We parked near a camera but have yet to receive the footage. We had to replace our back Window $ 600 plus all my husbands work clothes, laptop etc., we had no idea while traveling through this was a high crime area. Also no one came to our room or called our room to let us know this happened. We had to walk out and find it our self. No one at the desk warned us of this nor did we see any signs. We asked the General Manager Jatinder Mann to cover our expenses he said no he is not responsible. Also if you get a room by the freeway you are literally 20 ft from the freeway you will not sleep well. Karma is a bitch Mr. Mann see you in court. Shame on you for not protecting your customers.

I had pretty good experience with HIE hotels in NJ and Los Angeles, so I booked this one for 3 nights to visit Yosemite and Sequoia national parks. Staff is friendly, service is quick, hotel rooms and public areas are clean and the breakfast has good enough options of coffee, milk, creamers, butter, bagels, scrambled eggs, yogurt, 2 or 3 flavours of juice and space to accommodate moderate number of guests due to frequency and size.
While HIE are usually for quick business trips, it suited me fine for a few days and location is great to visit both parks at around 60 – 80 miles each. While I believe the hotel does not have fun stuff for kids, it is still a good place for a family stay, especialy if visiting the parks which will take whole day and leave kids tired enough!

Very nice stay. I was passing through town on business and looking for your basic ‘clean, comfortable room’. The hotel was clean and the room was very quiet even though the property is near the freeway (they actually have two sets of windows and double thick drywall according the man who checked me in). The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast spread is excellent. There was an evening wine reception. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town. Only downside was I could not figure out how to operate the remote for the heater/​AC.

Every time a hotel puts outlets on the night table then its always a good thing. I have been in more expensive and high-​end hotels than this that does not offer this convenient feature. The rooms are clean and smell good. They have lots of towels and the staff are always friendly. I’ve stayed here plenty of times and the wifi is always fast.
The location is not so great but I stay here for the convenience not to enjoy the industrial motif of the neighborhood.

Stayed here while on business for a few days this week. Rooms were clean with nice amenities, everything you need. Price was reasonable and breakfast was good. Right off of the Hwy 99 freeway with In n Out next door. My first day I noted the room was not as cool as I like it, my quirk, so I went to the front desk. They immediately transferred my luggage and moved me to another room without any hassle. They were very accommodating. I read comments about the neighborhood, and though it may not look like the best, there was always security roving the lot and the building. Downtown was only a few minutes drive away if that’s your scene.

Very nice fairly new hotel, a good breakfast, free wi fi, my only issue was the bed too firm for me, with fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis I HAVE to have a soft bed, other than that a nice facility.

My gf and I really enjoyed staying here. The suites are really nice and clean. The breakfast was delish.

Decent for the chain, although overpriced considering the area.
We had a suite and it was pretty nice. Very spacious, two flat screens, small kitchenette area, etc. The only real complaint in terms of furnishings was the bedding was pretty sparse (and it was cold). The common areas are nice, if you take advantage of them.
But again, this is actually not in the best part of Fresno and nothing nearby is incredibly appealing.

The hotel here is nice and clean with a pretty good hot breakfast included. Word to the insomniac-​if you are a light sleeper, make sure you get a room NOT facing the freeway.

Really nice, modern rooms. The bed slept nice and they had a free hot breakfast every morning. I am always so disappointed with continental breakfasts at hotels. This was a nice change of pace. They also had a pancake machine! Nice. pancakes of the future!

Well let me start off by saying that I would have given this place a 3.5−4 stars if it wasn’t for their lack of empathy when it came to handling my lost and found items. I checked out on 8÷25÷12 and left my purses behind. I called on Monday to check if they had them, they did, so they sent them Fedex on my dime. I didn’t get my purses until Saturday! Really?! A letter gets here from Fresno in 1 – 2 days! That wasn’t what set me off. My daughter days later informs me that she thinks she left her blanket there, so I had her call them. They confirmed with her that they had it and would be happy to mail… just give me a credit card. That’s when I got on the phone and asked why it wasn’t reported or sent to me with my other items?! Desk agent noted that two separate entries were made. So having been in charge of a housekeeping department before, I asked why they don’t log all items under said room number on said date. All I heard was blah, blah, blah. I told her I did not agree with their handling of this matter and she just asked if I wanted to use the same credit card on file to mail. Boy, these people have absolutely no understanding of how important it is to appease your customers so you can have their return business and great reviews. Maybe my expectations are too high? Well hopefully my blasting them on their lost and found procedures will motivate them to change their policies. In the meantime, make sure you don’t leave anything behind there. It was the first for me given my many overnight trips, hopefully won’t happen again, at least it will be my last for this hotel.

Nice place. A bit more than I wanted to pay, but it’s very clean and comfortable I will defiantly stay again.

I have stayed in many Holiday Inn Express and loved them — This one was definitely the expection. I got in very late and was very tired. I specifically requested a quiet room away from the road — My request was ignored and I was put on the highway side. i was so tired I just went to bed and really never got any sleep —
It is would have been so simply just to give me a room on the other side. Also, the food for breakfast was very stale and yucky —

Nice new rooms, honestly one of the best hotel rooms I’ve ever been in though the price reflected that. I paid $ 126/​night, a lot higher than I wanted to pay. Fridge and microwave in the room. Good internet.
BIG COMPLAINT: they had this stupid-​complicated air conditioning remote that I couldn’t get to work, so essentially, I had no air conditioning for the high price I paid for the night.
–1 for the air conditioning, –1 for the price

Was pretty weary of staying here since there wasn’t that many reviews on Unilocal.But my bf had a 2-​day softball tournament & we stayed here.
No BED BUGS in this rm! Yes we did an inspection upon entering. We had an executive king rm, very modern looking bathrm/​room with a flat screen, microwave, mini fridge, Ihome too!
PROS: FREE Wi-​Fi, FREE yummy breakfast, plush pillows, comfy bed, fluffy towels & all the other basic amenities plus extra stuff you don’t normally get. Late checkout of 2pm if your a member of the priority club.
CONS: Walls are very thin, we could hear every time the toilet flushed or someone took a shower upstairs, I would opt for the last floor next time.
I would most definitely stay here again & I’m a little more open minded now of staying at another Holiday Inn Express.

Sorry for the short review, but this hotel did the job I needed it to do in Fresno.
Fresno is not what people consider to be a great area in California. this hotel was pretty on the outside and on the inside. It also got a pool.
What else can you need in this dump of an area? Works for me! Would definitely stay again.

I’m a business traveller. I stay in this property because of the following:
01. Modern feel due to the layout and nice dark wood.
02. 32″ LCD screen.
03. Fridge (so, you don’t have to ask the hotel to bring it up to your)
04. Microwave (sometimes, you just want to eat some left overs)
05. The bed is wonderful
06. Very nice bathroom.
07. A stone’s throw away from about 7 restaurants
08. Wifi is included in the price
The bad:
01. parking is sparse
02. the restaurants are not the healthy alternative
If you hold the holiday inn loyalty card, you get a bottled water with a snack at check-​in.
The property is next to the freeway. So, if you can, ask for a room that faces away from the free way to have a good night sleep.
There is another Holiday Inn in Clovis (not very far) that would put you next to better restaurants.

I stayed here for the weekend while attending an event in Fresno and was pleased with my experience. The hotel was clean and the room was very spacious. There were a few strange things about the hotel that knocked it down a star for me. The first was the bedding. The mattress was very comfortable, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the pillows. They had the option of soft or firm (it’s actually printed on the pillowcase!), but both felt very similar to me, and not the kind of pillow I like. I also felt that there wasn’t enough bedding on the bed. You’re given a sheet, a squishy comforter type blanket and then a very thin little quilt. I would have like a thicker top blanket, especially in the winter time. The last issue I had was with the bathroom door. Our’s swung open and would clang very loudly against the door to the room. Maybe a little too much grease on the hinges? If those issues were fixed, however, the rooms would be very comfortable. The location of the hotel is also fairly nice in terms of proximity to food, but is in kind of a strange little area in terms of getting on the freeway. Overall a nice-​ish place to stay.

New hotel in a very convenient location. Close to downtown and Highways 99 and 41. The rooms are very comfortable, and the A/​C unit is made by Sanyo, and is very quiet. Wireless internet throughout. The jacuzzi is small, but the complimentary breakfast is very adequate.
