San Joaquin Hotel

Its more a halfway house/homeless shelter now. Regular smell of drugs come from there and people arguing with each other. A pitbull was running loose from there today. I know because I saw the owner come and get it. This used to be a respectable establishment but it's not a "hotel" in my opinion anymore.

I had been staying at the Fresno San Joaquin for years, it used to be great. Clean affordable rooms with breakfast service in the morning. Great! However the family sold out to a Best Western and immediately I could tell something major changed before I got my room. The grounds were always well managed, but today it was completely unkept, dying shrubs, garbage in thrown about. Then I noticed a guy without a shirt standing by his room smoking, he was loaded with prison tats. Later that evening I came back only to be greeted by 4 police cars in the front. The next evening with a few friends visiting me there noticed several drug deals going on in the parking lot and hookers. We watched a guy running in with Samsung TV box, it got worse, even our front desk person said, "It's like this every

Very nice hotel hidden on a main Fresno thruway. If you don't like the sounds of cars passing by a majority of the day & night, make sure you request a room back away from the front. I really like this "All-Suite" hotel located in a fairly central location. Not more than a mile in both directions are restaurants, gas, banks, etc., and just about another mile each is either the 41 Freeway or the 99 Highway. The rooms are very roomy, a front room w/separate back bedroom, sleeper sofa, comfy beds, lots of relaxation locations, and many with balconies/patios. Warning: DON'T shut the door when you first walk in without finding a working light source! Twice (2 different rooms) I have walked in, shut the door, and proceeded to bashing my leg/falling over the extremely solid coffee table in the f

I’ve been doing work on the San Joaquin hotel in Fresno for a few weeks now. It was out dated but cozy. It is now more up to date and looks a lot more inviting especially for the price. I recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a room on a budget. Nice area, the staff work hard to take care of all you needs and the place is very warm. A cozy atmosphere for sure.

We give two stars only because the rooms were mostly clean. Other than that, this was our worst overnight experience in the US so far. We have never met such an unfriendly and indifferent hotel staff. We were not greeted or seen off in a single encounter. Although a self laundry service was indicated, we were not allowed to wash our clothes because the hotel supposedly needs all the washing machines all day. Which in our eyes was their problem rather than ours and extremely poor service to boot. The hairdryer in the bathroom was missing and when we tried to find out how long breakfast would be available, no one answered the phone at the reception. Online it said until 10 am. Which of course turned out to be wrong and so we did not get breakfast.
