Don’t go there. The price was quoted at one price and when I went to pay I was stated another. And when I said why a different price I was told to go somewhere else. Poor management poor service and I wouldn’t suggest anyone staying there.

Terrible customer service. Made a reservation online and canceled it via online on the same day but the manager still charged me full. I called back with a cancellation confirmation number and they told me that they don’t have the number. How are you not suppose to have the cancellation number? So after convicting her to check on her system, yup, there it was, saying that I made the cancellation. I assume that the manager didn’t bother to check up until I called.

OMG. Do not stay here. Dishonest owner. Checked on line, $ 55. Called direct, he said $ 42, will save me a room. Got there, he said $ 70, because I was checking in at 11 pm, not 1 pm — this made no sense at all, he became belligerant. Kept saying something about paying for 2 days, rather than one night. Place is nearly empty anyway, junkies and whores out front prominently. Not interested in renting by the hour. Then he said «that’s the way all hotels work — go to the Motel 6 up the block, they do the same. I’ll give you $ 500 if they don’t». There’s a reason the place is nearly empty — the owner is nuts. I stayed at the Motel 6. Did not get my $ 500 from the nice man, though. Big disappointment.

We stayed here on a Friday night for a family visit. On the good side, the room was clean, the AC was good (it was 99 at 10pm at night), it was quiet. On the Con side, the place could use some updating of it’s sink, drain in the shower etc. The breakfast was skimpy with just some apple danish rolls and some pink roll. I would stay again but bring own food or go to local fast food.

Nightmare on Blackstone Ave!
The one word I would use to describe my experience at this place is SCARY!
Yes, the hotel is old and run-​down, but that is to be expected for a hotel in this price range so I am not really basing my review on that.
I was there last weekend for two and a half days, it was pretty dead and only two or three rooms were rented out. However, they put all the guests right next to each other, and on the second night my next door neighbor turned out to be a major pimp who brought some of his «girls» to service customers for the night.
On our second night, we were waken in the middle of the night by our next-​door pimp neighbor calling on the phone asking if we were «partying,» clearly trying to offer us drugs, I told him we were not «partying» and hung up on him. Later that night, we were again waken at 3:00am by the pimp yelling/​beating up one of his girls and the girl yelling «you can do whatever you want to me, I don’t care anymore!» So basically, my friends and I locked ourselves in the room, kept quiet, and made a plan to drop to the floor in case of gun-​fire, which fortunately did not happen.
Customer service was horrible! The first night we were assigned to a room with a clogged sink, the lady had us pay an extra $ 10.00 because another friend came to spend the night with us, (I wonder if she had the pimp pay $ 10.00 for each John he brought in) anyways, it was three instead of two in the room, we paid, no big deal. However, they did not bring us an extra towel for our friend and they refused to bring us a fresh set of towels after we asked. Additionally, they had a pest-​control man come into our room to spray for roaches while we were there, and even though we paid for an extra half-​day, which began at 1:00pm, the lady came to hurry us up as we were leaving at 4:00pm because the cleaning lady had to clean the room before she went home for the day.
I really wanted to like this place. I don’t even blame the owners for the pimp next door, but their crappy customer service is simply unacceptable! I would NEVER stay here again!

Please read below but if you choose not to, PLEASE AVOID THIS DUMP AND THEIR HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT SERVICE. YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR MONEY BACK IF YOU’RE NOT SATISFIED.
This place and management service is HORRIBLE! I booked my stay through Travelocity which started this entire mess. Not only was the price almost 50% more the original price but Travelocity could not get me a refund. Firstly, I tried to book a room for three but the application on my phone would not allow me to. So it only showed up as two people. When I arrived to pick up my key I tried to be clear to the management that I had three people, but due to their language barriers they could not understand me. I proceeded to my crappy room and not even two minutes did the same management lady accuse me of trying to sneak someone in. She claimed I had four people in the room when clearly there were only three. She asked for a $ 10.00 payment for the extra person so I obliged as I was just trying to settle in and get some rest. She obviously does not know how to count and passes judgement on paying customers. To her luck she already had my card information. Secondly, as I was settling in, the smell of smoke was too unbearable, stains everywhere, smoke detectors were covered up, worse than a pigsty. DO NOT STAY HERE!!! THEY WILL REFUSE ANY REFUND!!! I had to call my bank immediately and explain to them the situation and now I have to get a replacement card out of caution. Also, NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH TRAVELOCITY. Avoid this dump. One should not have to put up with this lack of accommodation, even if the location is in Fresno.
and Unilocal wont let me claim ZERO STARS.

Don’t ever stay here. Ever. Never. Don’t.
Please look at the pics I uploaded they paint the picture. No really, please check them out!

These people rubbed me wrong. I might not have left a review this bad and might have overlooked a few things but this place left a real bad taste in my mouth.
I have only ever uploaded 13 photos out of 300+ reviews. 13 photos of this place (check em out)
I left for Yosemite for the day and left my AC on. I also left a do not disturb sign my door. Sure not the «greenest» thing to do but I paid way to much for 2 nights and it’s my right to keep it on if I want.
Management came in my room without my permission and turned down my AC to retarded low.
When I called the front desk and asked about it, I got treated very rudely.
I, in turn spouted off about the various problems I have had with the establishment and this turned into a 10 minute bitch fest. This lady noticed when she unlawfully entered my room that I had brought a fan and plugged it in. She then started telling me how many kilowatts an hour she gets charged and it costs 600 to fix the AC when it breaks and blah blah blah.
Everything in this joint 25 years old and NONE of this is my problem as the customer.
If a customer wants to leave all the lights on and the AC blasting all day, that’s there right.
I could go off for another 1000 word essay on this matter but I’m not going to. I hate these people and I hate this place.
The icing on the cake was when I went to check out this lady (the owner) had the audacity to tell me what an upstanding hotel she has and that she has Hollywood Celebrities stay here.
She also threatened to call social services on me for the way I talked to her in front my kids.
DON’T…EVER…THREATEN…MY…KIDS!!!
That’s where she crossed the line and I wish cancer upon her. The kind that drains her and her family financially before she becomes terminally ill and dies just before her 50^th birthday. That kind.
