I didn’t end up staying. I waited fifteen minutes at the front desk and no one showed up. The sign on the front door that the property was protected by the Fresno police coupled with a sign stating that everything should be removed from my vehicle, the blatant drug abuse in the parking lot and the addicts roaming the property were totally intimidating. I expected to find my vehicle vandalized if I had stayed! The lobby was filthy inside, no wonder breakfast wasn’t provided. The employees gang tattoos didn’t help.

This property has potential if it wasn’t infested by cockroaches and have a moldy and stuffy smell. Elevator didn’t work. Cockroaches in the bedroom and bathroom. Disgusting and felt unsafe. Signs everywhere telling you they are not responsible for any theft or car break ins. We stayed next to a suspicious crack head who was yelling at 4am in the halls and playing loud music. Worst sleep and worst stay by far.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The university square hotel was a very cheap stay, but this obviously reflected on the property's current state - outdated, some mould growing in the bathroom, and stiff mattresses. This was somewhat expected based on the price but it was rather disappointing and generally disgusting that there were bugs crawling around the room - I found one inside the mini fridge, and one on the shower curtain - no matter what price is being paid, bugs should not be present at any hotel. Aside from that, the hotel was acceptable, also offering ample free parking. I would only recommend staying here if there is proof of a new bug removal treatment hotel-wide.

The cost is good, but it’s nasty! We saw 5 cockroaches the first night. People entering their bottom floor rooms through an open window. The next morning we checked out and went to a different hotel for the rest of our stay. The owner only charged us for the one night and was gracious.
