  • It was nice to avoid paying so much for a hotel room that did not strike me as being a lovely room at some "Fleebag Inn". I got what I deserved.
  • A little annoyance with a pan-handler outside.

“I checked in with the front desk, and I submitted my confirmation number which was earlier received through the internet, and this made it all the faster for me to receive my card-key. I am also thankful that there was the breakfast buffet court built right in the hotel, where I allowed myself one morning to spoil myself rotten. Excellent room service, the bed was always made and the coffee packets were always kept in stock, as well as toiletries.”

  • They didn't clean our room very often.

“The aesthetics overall were nice. However, we stayed there 6 nights and they only cleaned our room twice. They didn't have very many cable channels and a lot of things were out dated. It was sub par.”

  • Quality of the rooms and construction. Nice fixtures and nothing in need of repair.
  • The workout facility could use some newer equipment and better water station.

“This hotel is a great option for the solo business traveler in Fresno. With everything needed for an overnight stay on site and free wireless access that bypasses any log on screens, you can grab a quick bite, get yourself up and running on the internet, and turn in a great nights sleep on one of their comfortable sleep number beds that will recharge the batteries of any weary business traveler.”

  • The location was not in the best neighborhood.

“This is an older hotel that has been nicely renovated. The staff is friendly and helpful. Our rooms were clean and comfortable. The location was not the best, but there was a security guard on duty that made us feel better/safer. I would recommend this hotel to friends and relatives.”

  • Beautiful lobby, large clean room, great bed.
  • Approached several times by panhandlers.

“The staff was very helpful and friendly. The lobby was beautiful. The beds were the kind that each person picks their comfort level. The only complaint was that throughout our stay we were approached several times in the parking lot by people asking for money. We were told not to leave anything in the car because it was a bad neighborhood.”

  • The rooms were clean and comfortable.
  • Staff could be friendlier/more helpful.

“This hotel was nice as far as the room and decor/cleanliness of the hotel. Unfortunately, when we pulled up a homeless man was sitting outside the doors asking for money and that made me nervous since we had young children with us. He was gone by the time we parked and came back through the entrance with our luggage. Staff did say that security did rounds every 1/2 hour so that was fine. The only other downfall was that no one told us the restaurant would close at 9am, so we were unable to get breakfast in the morning since we came down at 8:50. The girl in the restaurant said there were notices everywhere, but there weren't any in our room or the elevator, or anywhere we could see. .”

  • Live music in the lobby.
  • Outdated decor in room. Poor quality beds.

“Good location, safe parking lot. Room decor needs to be updated. Looks like they may be in the midst of remodeling? Thin walls could hear neighbors clearly. Person who checked us in said there were no rooms with two beds. Then after some persistence on my part, realized he could "make something happen." the parking lot was empty! So, I knew there were plenty of open rooms.”

  • The elevators were slow.

“While the rooms could use an update (I did not have a select comfort bed), I was very comfortable. The adjoining door would not close and lock very well, but it was okay. I would stay at the hotel again. The $70 price was reasonable, but I would have been disappointed to pay the actual hotel rate.”

  • Sleep number beds.
  • It's dated and the area is not that great.

“It's dated, although they've tried to update it but you can tell they don't spend much. It's in old Downtown Fresno (near court house) so not much happening in the evening. Like many old Downtown areas all over, it's an area that can attract homeless, low income. For Fresno though, it's a decent hotel and probably the most upscale in Fresno.”

  • The waterfalls were nice.
  • Parking was awful. The kids' soccer group in the lobby was annoying. There wasn't enough room for that nonsense.

“It was a very basic hotel room. It was clean and smelled nice, but I expected a whole lot more from the star rating. This one was a little bit of a letdown, but not awful by any stretch. Why the hotel let a non paying soccer team fill up the crowded lobby as a teacher convention was literally letting off the bus is a mystery to me. Bad for business. Annoying as hell. I had to wade through a lobby full of rowdy kids with luggage. I'm not talking a few kids; I'm talking packed like sardines and running amuck with no supervision. And then they all left, so they weren't even guests.”

“The location is perfectly set between the Fresno and Clovis bowling alleys. It is only 12/13 minutes to either lane. We were also within a reasonable driving distance to enjoy the casino n. Of Fresno. The restaurant staff is friendly and efficient, serving good quality food.”

  • The staff was quick in bringing up a fridge for me; I liked the sleep number bed as well.
  • I didn't like having to walk all the way around in order to get to the elevators.

“It was a good deal for the most part. The hotel was pretty nice: the staff was wonderful, our room was comfortable, and the location was right next to the convention center, which was a huge plus. The only thing I disliked about our stay was the awful cigarette smoked that came in through our bathroom vent from the room next to us. We had asked for a non smoking room, which they did give us, but having to smell all that smoke any time we went to the restroom or near it make me sick. A non smoking room should never be connected to a smoking room. That's just common sense, but maybe the staff wasnt aware of this? I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. I don't know if we'll stay at the hotel in the future; so if you plan to stay at the Radisson and prefer a non smoking room, make sure to specify that the room next door has to be non smoking as well.”

  • No security and not so friendly front desk staff.

“1. My room had couple of spider webs in both corners of the room by the window. 2. The front desk staff requires additional training. They certainly do not have the skills to service business travelers. 3. The employee at the front desk that helped me with the check out refused to let me back in the room to pick up the two bottles of water that I had left in the room! I had my wallet in the car and the car was parked and I ran back in to pick up the two bottles of water and she said that I need to see your ID! This was the same employee that checked me out exactly five minutes ago!”
