Super 8 Fresno Convention Center

Stay away from this hotel. We live outside Sonora, Ca and our soldier (who got special leave for making the 5% top of his class) was returning to Fort Benning, Georgia. As his bus was leaving at 7:15 am I chose this hotel which was supposed to be close to the Grayhound station and had a continental breakfast. First as I was checking in a man was being arrested who claimed he was The Holy Spirit. I was not admitted into the lobby but had to stand outside. Nice. Next I asked about breakfast — 7:00. I asked permission to enter earlier say 6:40 to feed our soldier. I was denied. No vending machines so we went out in the car only to learn the bus station had MOVED! So here we are in an unsafe room (electrical plugs covered in dust, holes in the bedspread, dirty marks in the ceiling, and I paid $ 1 for 4oz if bottled water. It is now 5:34 am and we are leaving early to find a restaurant and feed our soldier. — with James Cobb and Jason Lowe at Super 8 Fresno Convention Centre Area.

Do you guys even change bed covers!!! This place was my last resort. $ 115 for a night with 2 queen beds a microwave and a min fridge. But what quality do I get with my 115 dollars? Something far worse than disgusting. I found solidified sperm on my white sheet under the comforters. This place is horrible. The fact that they changed it and wouldn’t look at the covers and just «believed us» signifies them knowing about it. This place is putrid. If you need a place to stay. Go for something far cheaper. You would probably get just as good of quality and cleanliness as Super 8 Fresno. Did I also mention the mosquitoes in my room? I hope those mosquitoes don’t add on to my ridiculous bill.

It is a super 8 motel and is just fine to stop and catch some sleep. It is clean enough, beds were comfy, bathroom was functioning. The staff I came across were friendly and did their job. Area around motel seemed safe and pretty clean. It is in old downtown. If you have high standards well maybe this isn’t for you. 6 of us were in town for a concert at the Fulton 55, easy taxi ride or walk to show.

The carpet was very dirty. The staff did not read the reservation from
about our pet and was accused of trying to sneak our dog in. Wi-​Fi was poor the toilet was not working well and was outdated because it wastes too much water. Coffee was terrible. I would never go back and was not worth the price. Worst experience ever!

We booked here last minute because we were at a Quakes game at the arena nearby by. We had a perfectly okay experience here, and the night guy working was really nice and helpful when we booked last minute, and also when we left something expensive in the room the next morning (they got it retrieved for us, and helped us in having a friend pick it up).
I would have given more stars, but the cons were: one of our towels had a stain/wasn’t really clean, the price for the room was higher than we thought was warranted (I’m guessing they were capitalizing on the fact that all the soccer fans were congregating there, and we got the second to last room available), and most upsetting was that the first room we were given keys to was already occupied (which could have been very alarming for us and the guests in that room!).
So it wasn’t perfect, but wasn’t really horrible… but it really should be cheaper for the quality.

Ein Super tolles Hotel zu einem spitzen Preis
Klasse Zimmer — groß und sauber
Tolles Bad
Wifi gibt es auch
Ruhig — netter Service und auch die Anreise nach 21 Uhr hat Super funktioniert

This place is an absolute shit hole. My room stunk of cigarettes, had what looked like «human stains» on the carpet, gum on the lamp, no alarm clock, and a noisy rattling AC. I could continue this list but hopefully you get the idea… Don’t stay here.

I’m not going to totally disagree with some of the other reviews here, I will say that it is cheap, so don’t go here I your looking to enjoy your view or time in the room. I don’t stay at places to stay inside or judge the drapes. I have stayed at the Crazy 8 all but one time for a yearly convention I attend. I always have a great time, it’s booked out people are hanging outside because its a warm night. I meet fun people and stay up talking till the wee hours. I admit its got a lot to do with my group that take over the place and many others every year, but I can walk there from the convention center, they don’t get upset if everyone is having a good time even if we swim past the cut off, or drink beer and talk till the sun comes up out on the walkways. If you want fluffy towels and updated furniture go somewhere else. Leave the real people to have all the fun. Thanks for a great weekend even with the weird room layout and well used bedspreads. I even got sent to a room with someone in it! Makes for a great story, and didn’t ruin my night.

We have given this place repeat business, even though it’s not really clean, primarily to save money rather than staying at the Radisson for a yearly event that we attend.
We will no longer use this place. Their customer service is poor. They seem to change their pricing at random. They are cheap and only care about their money. The rooms are never fully clean when we first walk in — dead moths, dirty towels, questionable bed sheets.
The breaking point for us was a problem with the manager regarding our booking through
, where we booked two nights. When we arrived, I didn’t realize that they mistakenly charged us for a night as a walk-​in, but trying to straighten that out at the end of our stay was joke, as they wanted to keep three days worth of payments! After a VERY long time in the office, starting out cordially and then spiraling downward, I realzed that I was not going to get anywhere, and I was forced to dispute the charge for the extra day.
I *really* tried to work it out with them, but they want ALL of «their» money. They gave
the same price that they quoted us: it’s not MY problem if they make less from
. They should have quoted
a higher price!
The real source of the problem for the stingy owners is that the manager blew it when speaking with
, AND she was not able to fully comprehend that we wanted to book through
to build up our credit for a free stay somewhere. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t break through her limited ability to comprehend that. You can’t fix stupid, to quote a famous comedian.
These people are idiots: they *achknowleged* that we had previously stayed there, so why would they jeapordize future business with us??? Needless to say, we are complaining to the Better Business Bureau, our credit card company
and, of course, Unilocal!
And in case you are wondering, we had a «suite» for $ 90 per night — the suite is exactly the same as a regular room, but it has a small refrigerator and a microwave — for two nights, so with taxes, that’s $ 106 per night. They quoted
the same price, so when I accidentally paid for one of the nights as a walk-​in, they wanted me to cancel the
booking because they make more money because
takes a cut, however, the
booking was completely paid *prior* to our arrival. In the end, they were trying to keep my accidental charge and they wanted to tel
to cancel one of the nights. So they are permanently losing our business (and the business of anyone else swayed by this review) for a few bucks, but I have to go through the hassle of disputing the charges and following up with the bank and
because I was charged for three nights but only stayed two.
Lame.

For what you get… the room is pricey. If you can get a deal for $ 65 or less, it «might» be worth it, if you are on a tight budget. If you can afford $ 75 or more… stay somewhere else!!! Definitely shop around… this place is a dump, that has beeen fixed up slightly to trick you into thinking it is not a dump ;)
We’ve stayed here more than once, ONLY because of the location. It’s close to the Radison Hotel, and we have attended a dance event there for several years over the May long weekend. If we were too late to get into the Radison, we’ve used Super 8 as back-​up, ONLY because it’s very close walking distance to the Radison Hotel. The last time, will be the LAST stay at Super 8.
They double charged us for one of our nights, and they were refusing to give us a credit on the charge from the hotel. Instead, they were insisting they wanting to call
and tell
that we only stayed for one night, to have THEM reverse the extra charge. Since it was the mistake of the hotel, we were not willing to let them call
and lie to them. We also wanted to get our points credits from
, since we always use them, and like the online service they offer.
As for the rooms… well, our first «suite» consisted of having the bathroom broken up into 2 rooms. A lovely toilet in one large bathroom, across from the window. And, then you needed to walk out into the room area, and over to another room to get to the tub/​shower, and fridge. (??? weird!) That room came with a complimentary dead moth on the bathroom floor. We asked to have our room switched to another «suite». If you are looking for extra space for your family… don’t pay extra for a suite (if you insist on booking here ;) — a suite just means that you get a couch squeezed into the room, and a fridge, and a microwave. Our second room also came with long black hair hanging out of a couple of the towels (ewwww). None of our family members have long black hair.
If you ask at the front office for pool towels, they will send you out to track down the maids, and get your own. The customer service is lacking, to say the least.
We won’t stay here again. Ever.

Well the address was right (a block away from Chukchansi Park) but that’s the only thing right with this motel.
Our reservations were messed up so they upgraded our room to a suite. What we got makes me fear the room we had originally reserved. The clerk was playing it up, emphasizing the kitchenette and two bathrooms. We soon discovered two bathrooms here means one with the toilet and one with the shower, for handicap convenience. The room smelled like death and I felt a desperate need to wear my flip-​flops in the shower.
Somethings, take motels for example, are worth splurging on.
