Courtyard Fresno

Courtyard Marriott was the best decision we made for hotel accommodations during our business trip to Fresno. The room was clean and spacious with a sliding door for balcony access. The lobby are had a business center with multiple computers and printers for use as needed. The hotel has a bistro which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner and Starbucks! The staff is friendly and welcoming which suits the overall ambience of the hotel. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Fresno

I stayed at Courtyard for a few days while visiting my family and had a very pleasant experience. Jose at the front desk was very friendly when I checked in. They had me booked on the first floor, but when I asked to be moved up, he was happy to change it for me. Both nights were peaceful and quiet. I had a patio overlooking the pool and courtyard. Too bad it was raining during my visit, otherwise I would have enjoyed the view. The king size bed was firm, but still soft enough to be comfortable. The room and bathroom were clean and I enjoyed the Paul Mitchell toiletries. The housekeeping ladies were nice and always said hello when I passed them in the hallway. And my favorite part? In the lobby, there is a Starbucks along with a full café. This was super convenient and I loved that I did not have to leave the premises. The employee working at the café was not judgmental when I got my morning coffee in my pjs. I’m sure they see it all the time.
The cons? There is no continental breakfast because of the café in the lobby. The hotel is not easy to access from Shaw Ave. There is a little unmarked street to enter from on Shaw. Or you can enter from the side using Blackstone Blvd and turn into San Jose St. However, this side entrance closes at 10 pm.
There are plenty of gas stations nearby. There is also a Trader Joe’s and Target within a mile of the hotel if you need snacks or forgot to pack something. The freeway is also easily accessible. I would definitely stay here again whenever I am back in town.

Don’t stay here if you want to watch NFL. They advertise as the official hotel of the NFL, but have problems carrying games due to satellite issues.

I am in Sanger for work occasionally and this is my go-​to hotel. Clean, pleasant, comfortable, plus friendly staff. Easy to find right off the freeway. (If you are sensitive to noise, ask for room on the courtyard side. It doesn’t bother me personally.) No complimentary breakfast, but there is a small bistro w/​Starbucks in the lobby with solid, reasonably priced breakfast/​lunch/​dinner options. (There are also many options within a short drive of the hotel.) Fitness center leaves something to be desired, but when I’m traveling for work that’s far from a deal breaker.

What a dump. POS.
They shampooed all the carpets yesterday, so my carpet was still damp and the room was as humid as a Turkish bath. Don’t bother shutting down ten rooms at a time and taking a month to do the job, that would cost too much — right?
No HDTV in the gym, only two treadmills, maybe five or six local channels on the TV in the room. No movies.
Pathetic wifi. Pathetic. Maybe you guys could buy a few wifi repeaters — they’re about $ 20 each.
Look around the lobby at breakfast, and it’s obvious: The only reason this place is in business is because of corporate contracts and points systems. CM used to actually have waitresses who brought you a menu and served you your breakfast. Now it’s basically McD’s.
All the guests from Pfizer and J&J don’t know any better, because they’re just passing thru from one Courtyard Dumpalot to the next, bragging about how many points they’ve racked up.

Definitely one of our best stays on our tour!
Super friendly staff, we even could check in early, the room was nice, new and clean, the beds were fantastic (so comfy!) and the hotel pool refreshing.
Parking around the building, many restaurants and shopping places nearby, nothing more to say than: would definitely stay here again!

We arrived here on June 08, 2015 for one night. Depending upon your Nav system, might to hard to find. This location is right off the freeway and entry is via a side road. Check in was easy and the room with two beds was clean. There were no issues experienced during our stay. Everyone was quiet as we has a peaceful night sleeping. I would stay here again if in the area. It a good location as there are plenty of stores and restaurant nearby. The geese tend to leave their droppings all over the place but that’s wildlife and not a hotel problem.

An excellent and uneventful (which is always actually a GOOD thing) stay at the Courtyard Marriot-​Fresno after a HORRIBLE experience at another Marriot property in Flordia.
Traveled here for work and it was great. No issues, friendly staff, good clean rooms. The only reason I left one star off is due to the inability to really have a good control on the room temperature, it is pretty hard to get the air cooler but I am sure that is indicative of the heat there in the State and nothing wrong with the hotel.
Excellence place and easy access to the freeway and many restaurants etc.

We stayed here this past weekend and the hotel was perfect. It was very clean, the staff was very friendly. The outdoor pool was very clean and the seating area around the pool was very nice. The hotel had Paul Mitchell Shampoo & Conditioner which was exciting. Pam Proctor, the Assistant Manager, helped me book the room and she was very friendly from the first encounter. There’s a nice gym and internet café area. The barista is very convenient and there’s a mini Starbucks inside too. My family and I really enjoyed our stay. Will definitely stay here again and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I won’t mention the details why the experience was horrible bc some people have bird brains and can’t think when they respond to a review lol…

Disappointed with some parts of my stay here. First, the good stuff: customer service and staff were nice. From check –in to grabbing coffee in the morning-​everyone very nice here! Now the bad: The «free» wi-​fi was worthless here. Extremely slow. They shouldn’t even offer it. The price for the room was close to $ 200. Not worth it. The bed was king size but not comfortable. The HVAC in the room was noisy when it came on during the night. The constant sound of doors slamming down the hall kept me up most of the night and the breakfast was expensive for the portion and quality of food served.

After recently staying in some older Courtyard hotels in other cities, this one is in refreshingly better shape. As with most mid-​level hotels, it’s nothing fancy, but is clean and quiet, with just the right amount of amenities and a friendly staff
It is also in a great location, though the entrance is hard to find. It isn’t marked, and is basically a long driveway you can easily miss, especially at night
Not bad, overall

Good stuff first.
Nice room with comfortable beds. Even with a room facing the highway, I thought it was sufficiently quiet. Staff was very polite and professional in all my dealings with them. Lobby is good place to chill and host guests if you have the need. The food and drinks were also above average. Lastly, the hotel is in a fairly good/​convenient location.
Now the not so good.
Although the food/​coffee bar is slated to open at certain times, they were rarely actually ready to start serving guests promptly at that time. Seems to me that if the lobby coffee bar is ‘open’ for 6 – 10, the staff doesn’t show up til 6 and then food/​drinks arent actually available to order until about 10 minutes later. IMO they should have them show up a few minutes early and get the prep work done beforehand. Next, was the fact that I dropped off a sweater to get dry cleaned and it came back damaged; badly. I appreciate that it’s not the hotel cleaning the clothes but still, it’s points off in my book. In defense of the hotel, the desk staff and eventually the GM were very apologetic about the ruined clothing and have offered to replace it. I will probably update this review in the future to reflect how they handle the replacement cost. Room was cleaned reasonably well EXCEPT some pile of mystery goo I just noticed next to the refrigerator in my room (see pic). I dunno WTF that is but it needs to be cleaned badly. They also missed my wake up call on the last day but luckily I set my phone alarm.
I’m not sure if I’d stay here again. I know there are worse hotels in Fresno; but there may be better options as well. I’m my opinion, for the prices they charge, this Marriot has some work to do.

Good location off the freeway. Lobby recently remodeled and rooms are clean and comfy.
Down side was when I checked in I had asked for a map of the hotel. This is to orient myself where the room was to the lobby. No map said the young lady at the check in counter. When I got to my room I found out that the odd room numbers are located on the freeway side.
Did I tell you they are located off the freeway? Heard the freeway noise ALL NIGHT LONG. Windows were awful to keep noise out. Had a lousy night’s sleep.
Do yourself a favor, demand a map and a request room facing the courtyard. You’ll do yourself a BIG favor!

What a comfortable place to stay located just off Hwy 41 in Fresno. This was the host hotel for our family wedding, and I found our stay here quite comfy.
The staff was fantastic during check-​in, and I was surprised with all the «R» that had checked in, they were quick, and off we all went to our room! It was that easy!
This Courtyard offers 24 hours gym including complimentary coffee at the lobby. Their pool is located near the lobby which looked very nice. There is also an in house place to dine in, but thankfully I had my trusted Unilocal mobile that pointed me to many great places to eat and visits during our stay.
Their in-​room services provided access to complimentary Wi-​Fi, premium channels, Starbucks coffee in every suite, a safe, an ironing board, hair dryer, and premium Paul Mitchell products for that added touch. I also loved their plushy towels too, all four of them! How generous.
Their King size bed was very comfy, and love their fluffy pillows. We also enjoyed having the nice sofa bed which can also accommodate two more guests if needed.
One of the highlights I would say at this location would be the hospitality staff. They were so nice, and always greeted us with a smile. Parking was free and located throughout the property near plenty of entrances surrounding the building. All you will need is to swipe your room key to go in and out.
If you are in Fresno for business or pleasure, this is the place to stay, best of all, it is only about 30 minutes driving to and from the Fresno/​Yosemite International Airport.
Until then, Cheers!

I have been to so many Courtyards in the country, even one’s that didn’t’ have a courtyard and this is on the upper end of the quality inside. The staff was really friendly. The location was hard to find with the wacky drive way and there is a lot of noise from the highway, but courtyard facing is SO quiet. There is two treadmills so you may have to wait for the exercise room but overall I would stay here again when I am in Fresno in comparison to the Towne Place up the road.

This is a nice hotel, but I give it 4 stars rather than 5 because there is nothing really super special that stands out about it. But for a nice, clean, updated hotel, this is a great option!
Pros:
–Quiet.
–Clean.
–With the curtains closed, the room stays really super dark. I love it.
–We had a courtyard view room, which was nice and had a cute little patio.
–Competent, friendly service.
–Thermostat worked correctly and well. (SO many places I go seem to have problems with the thermostat!!!)
–Everything was in good condition and seemed pretty new.
–I love how easy and quick it is to check out… basically you don’t have to do anything.
–You can get Marriott rewards points/​miles.
–They will match any other prices that other websites such as Priceline have. And if you find a cheaper price and show them, they will match and give you 20% off.
Cons:
–The road to the entrance isn’t marked well at all. We missed it because of that, which leads to my next con…
-…The side entrance is locked after 10 pm, so if you miss the front entrance the first time around, you have to loop all the way back around. When you’ve been driving for hours and hours, this can be more frustrating then you’d think. :)
–I was expecting a more comfortable bed. The mattress was pretty firm.
Price-​wise this was priced about average to other similar hotels in the area. So I don’t have that as a pro or a con.
I do like staying at Marriott’s, because they always are predictably pretty nice. This one was no exception. So if I’m in Fresno again sometime, I would probably stay here.

Lobby area was nice with little bar with Starbucks coffee. I didn’t like they close at 10:00am and if you want to get food after 10:00am you have to go outside. I saw the pool area from my hotel room balcony — it’s average.
Room was clean with a big bed. Bathrooms were small and not remodeled like the rest of the room. It had small fridge which was nice.

Location: excellent, right off the highway
Stuff near by: lots, starbucks arcoss the street, trader joes a little further down, random local food near by, mall (i could walk it) — within driving distance.
Just had a re-​model. Like, just.
New carpet, bedding and drapes are nice.
Staff is hit or miss, but the ones that are great are amazing! Candice is usually the one to check us in and had come to remember our names, knows our status and room preferences and treats us like we have come home! (i’ve stayed here a lot in the last year!)
Workout facility is iffy. There are 2 treadmills and 1 elliptical, some free weights and recumbant bike. (the weight bench has been removed recently — it was missing the knob to move the angle). if there isn’t a lot fo people that work out staying for the week, this room is fabulous. If there are health conscious people in house, it’s a nightmare!
A second elliptical would go a long way to helping.
The bistro — it is what it is. But with the remodel they also stopped offering free coffee in the urns. Sigh. As well as hot water, so i have to go ask for a pump of hot water at the bistro… Their house starbucks is amazingly bitter and nearly undrinkable, but it will keep you going for the day.
All in all, it’s not a bad hotel to make your home if you client is in Fresno — just make sure to get your room not on the side facing the highway unless you have some ear plugs!

Well it can’t help that it’s in Fresno, so i won’t hold that against it.
I was a tag-​along on this trip so had to spend my days working where ever i could. I’d start at a famous fish lady coffee shop and end my day in the lobby here (No i wasn’t that creepy weirdo! I was staying there!)
The lobby/​work area is REALLY nice. power is pretty easy to find. It’s not too loud, the intersect is strong and not too sucky.
I spent three days in the afternoons working there and it was great.
