La Quinta Inn & Suites Fresno Riverpark

I guess we are staying in Fowler next time. I reserved the room 3 days in advance, and with a note we would need a crib or playpen in the room for our 1 year old daughter. I called before we left, just to make sure we didn’t need to bring one, nope, they had one available. I checked in, and asked about it, «Oh we don’t have a crib, I wanted to make sure the playpen was okay», yes it’s fine, put it in the room please. That was 3:30pm. 10:30 pm, we come back fro the even we were attending here. No crib, no playpen, and they are all taken or broken. VERY VERY FRUSTRATING La Quinta! Edit: Can confirm, 3:30AM, and baby is crying! Thanks a ton La Quinta Inn! Lowering to 1 star.

I stay here when I come to visit family because they allow dogs with no extra cost or hassle. I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. Our room was so nice! Super clean. The bed was so damn comfortable I didn’t want to get up. I’ve stayed in a ton of hotels. Many with a beach front view and this place is comparable (the room not the view-​LOL). I’ll be staying here from now on each time I’m in town. Awesome, clean, quite, comfy place.

We have stayed in four other hotels in Fresno and this is the best. We are business travelers so we are in a lot of hotels. The room was bigger than the average hotel room, very clean and well designed. The air conditioning was excellent and easily dealt with the very hot weather. The breakfast buffet is bigger than average. The customer service is very good. We got excellent help from Ryan. It was too hot to use the pool so I can’t speak about it. The one downside to the hotel is the slow Wi Fi. It is very uneven and can work fine and then be very sluggish. I am surprised they do not have a better system. We will definitely come back to this hotel!

I went back to the pool on the fourth day, and both hot tub and pool were clean so that I was finally able to swim!!! Absolutely love the pool because it is mostly shaded and feel somewhat private.

I stayed here while I was in town for a concert at the Save Mart Center. I love it. Super nice and clean. Staff very friendly. They called my room after I had checked in to make sure everything was okay. Bed and pillows are ridiculously comfortable. The only reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars was because the walls are too thin. You can hear what’s going on in the hall and neighbor rooms. In the morning housekeeping was going down the halls knocking on doors yelling out «Housekeeping!» :/​But regardless, I would go back.

I ordered from the room service menu. 2 HOURS later I still don’t have my food! They told me within the hour for delivery some it is made off site. Ok. 1 hour 15 mins — no food so I call for an update. 5 to 10 mins. I wait. I’m starving and driving a Tour Bus so I can’t go anywhere, parking lots are NOT made for big busses. 1 hour 45 mins. Now I’m like Wth! Call them to cancel. No apology, no explanation. Ok fine, your order is canceled. It’s 10 pm, I had a half salad at 1 pm, I’m starving and you room service SUCK!!!

I travel for work A LOT so I’ve stayed at plenty of hotels. I’m also a Marriott Rewards member, so I tend to stick with the Marriott brand. However, I’ve stayed at this La Quinta on my last three trips to Fresno (and will be staying there again next week), and I’m truly impressed! Staff is always very nice and professional. Last time I was surprised (in a good way!) when Calli from the front desk not only switched my room to one on the top floor when I checked in (I’m sensitive to noise and footsteps overhead= insomnia), but a few minutes after I got to the room she called to check that everthing was to my liking. The level of service was comparable (or better than) any Four Seasons or other high-​end hotel I’ve stayed at on vacations. The rooms are modern and always clean, bed is super comfortable, and breakfast is great. Overall this is definitely my top pick for where to stay in Fresno.

This was the second night and the second La Quinta of our road trip. This chain has become our default choice when traveling with the dog (pet-​friendly at no charge). As I was signing the pet agreement, however, it was surprising to read that there is supposedly a 50-​pound limit. I just didn’t mention anything.
Our room was a 2-​queen-​bed that felt spacious compared to the previous night in Tulare. Overall, the hotel has a higher end feel. Right as you walk into the lobby, it just smells great. Bath and Body Works toiletries in the room. Little touches that enhance the stay. Unfortunately, all of the ground floor rooms are jacuzzi suites, so we had to get the 2^nd floor. Otherwise, our room was again next to the side entrance making it somewhat convenient for parking and taking the dog out. The parking lot on the east side of the building is not owned by La Quinta, but the front desk person said it was OK to park there.
Breakfast was similar to Tulare and again enjoyable – waffle machine, breakfast sausage, scrambled and hard-​boiled eggs, and the addition of bacon! This time, no dining tables in the lobby area, so I took food back to eat in our room. Besides, I still wasn’t sure about the dog weight thing.
As a convenient «halfway» point between visiting Sequoia/​Kings Canyon and Yosemite National Parks (right off the 41 freeway), this was another enjoyable La Quinta stay during our road trip.

This was a pretty nice room with pretty comfortable bed… But I will never EVER stay here again. Never. Never. Never. There were kids running around everywhere at 11pm I called the front desk about it and they said there’s nothing they can do. Then there was a huge dog barking across the hall every time someone ran by. This is a 220 $ a night king room. And yet they allow barking dogs? And there’s nothing they can do?!? By far the worst night I have spent in a hotel. Never again will this chain get my business.

We stayed here as a family (myself, husband, teenager) for a volleyball tournament in Clovis. The hotel is very nice, clean and staff are friendly and courteous. We arrived late Fri after a long day of work in Folsom. Check-​in was easy, bed comfortable and breakfast the next day delicious. I’m personally a protein lover so having eggs, sausage, yogurt are a must if you offer «breakfast». Cooked foods are essential, which they offered. We will definitely come back!

Easy check in… Super friendly girl at check in… room was bigger than expected… Clean, comfy, with fridge, microwave, desk, free WiFi, free breakfast… for a overnight stay can’t be beat!!!

My husband teases me every time I choose to stay at La Quinta in Fresno while in town on business. He says «whyyyyyyy not a Marriot or Hilton? whyyyy!»
Well a few reasons…
1. This is the best La Quinta I’ve ever stayed in.
2. They offer a very competitive corporate rate.
3. No frills, no fuss just a quality hotel for a quick work trip.
4. Convenient location
5. I am usually able to book an overnight stay very last minute (key for a procrastinator like me).
Why 4 stars and not 5? Wifi capabilities are lacking. It is free though!

Snacks aren’t cheap so buy at a store nearby instead. I was hungry so I went down to the front desk. I got a cup of noodles. $ 4!!! Um overcharge much?

I just want to remind the ladies at the front desk that worked nov 5^th, it’s better to be generous with your kindness. Sometimes it seems easy to be short and rude with people. Behaving this way brings nothing to you. If you ladies could remember that kindness brings kindness, and happiness brings happiness, I think your lives and the lives of your hotel guests would be better.

Extremely clean, well kept and nice. Very comfortable bed as well. Staff was friendly and helpful. No noticble blemishes in paint, décor etc. Seems like a newer hotel. Tv was a nice good sized flat screen that looked relatively new. I’m happy with my stay. Would return in the future if I was out this way again.

This is a upscale La Quinta, for a average room you pay $ 30 higher then the La Quinta on Tulare street.
I loved the upscale rooms which were better than Hiltons, beds were high and comfortable. Extra pillows provided. Upscale coffee machine .
They serve free snacks and drinks at happy hour in the evening. Breakfast was elaborate and included french toast, pastries, croissants and waffles. Lots of fruits and all the drinks were provided.
I loved the new rooms, had a feeling someone was jumping up on the ceiling so woke up at six A.M.
So drove back to LA and made it by 10 AM.
Will have to return to this hotel again as the WiFi has no password.

Tonight 8÷09÷14 my in laws went to check in on their reserved room. They were told to come back in an hour while the room was being cleaned. When they returned the on duty clerk (No Manager on site tonight) said that a person with the same name had already checked in that room. Lol what a LIAR! This place is a joke! What a huge inconvenience for my in laws. I thought they checked ID’s when someone checks in. I will never stay at La Quinta ever again!

Very happy with my stay here at la quinta. This was the first La Quinta I’ve stayed at and they are on point. We stayed in a Jacuzzi tub king bed suite. The room was of good size, clean, and the bed was comfy. Friendly staff and a free breakfast didn’t hurt either.

Great hotel, new and clean.
good service and decent breakfast
we spent 3 nights at this location.

Not changing the stars however this is now stay number two where something went wrong in the room. This time it was the coffeemaker, TV and power strip at the desk.
Don’t know what happened with the coffeemaker but it spit out water before it was supposed to spit out water along with coffee grounds. Mind you this is a Keurig coffeemaker and shouldn’t leave any trace of coffee grounds however when you let stupid people stay in the room, they’ll find a way to mess it up.
TV wouldn’t connect with the in-​room DirecTV (this is the second time this has happened). I’m not a fan of DirecTV so perhaps it was for the best. I could only imagine how someone could’ve messed this up though.
Lastly the sparks emanating from the built-​in power strip at the desk was alarming. According to hubby it arced, lights in the bathroom went dim and then it was back to business as usual. Being the kind of person that doesn’t like to see buildings burn to the ground, an anti-​pyromaniac if you will, it was a reportable offense. However when it happened was early morning so it was perfectly acceptable in my mind to report it when we checked out in a few hours.
When we checked out I made sure they knew everything that was wrong with the room. They did show concern and a want to fix those problems. I made a point to let them know that I didn’t report these things to them due to the time of the night these things were discovered. There is nothing worse than having someone come into your room to fix things when you’re in your PJ’s and settling down.
Hope the next stay is much better and I can give them back a star or two.
