Okay
First of all the location is good. (Across the street from Fresno State) That said, the hotel is really beginning to show it's age and is need of a remodel. Rooms were clean, just outdated. Service was iffy.

Our group booked rooms here and after reading reviews on line I was a bit skeptical. I was pleasantly surprised with the accommodations. Rooms have been remodeled and beds updated recently. I even had to ask staff the brand name of the beds as I plan to buy the same kind. I was most pleased with the front desk staff as they were professional and extremely friendly and helpful. The continental breakfast was better than I've seen at most hotels, and I travel all the time. It had something for everyone, from fresh fruit and cereal, to hot eggs and waffles. The front desk assisted with planning a day trip and dining for us since we ended up staying an extra day just to relax. Pool and spa were clean and inviting. Staying near the college we had many places to explore within walking distance including the mall which includes a Flemings Steakhouse (also reccommended). I would return and reccommend to anyone traveling to Fresno on business or leisure.

Excellent
This hotel is in a great location, right accross the street from Fresno State and not too far from the mall. Many dining options in the area. Staff was helpful with directions and receiving faxes. Hotel was quiet and clean. I would stay again if...

Having stayed at the Piccadilly Airport before, this was not at all what I expected. I should have gotten a clue at check in when the (apparently teen-aged) desk clerks were more interested in their cell-phone calls and high-fiving one another than they were in serving guests. It appeared to me that management cared very little about service to customers, and even less about maintaining the property. Dirty common areas, shop-worn furniture and bathroom fixtures, and key/lock systems that work (maybe) on an intermittent basis.
The hotel has nothing going for it other than as a place to crash for the night. No bar (except for a bare-bones lobby counter in the early evening), no restaurant at all, and some sort of an affair they try to pass of as a continental breakfast, but is best avoided at all cost.
The location is dicey at best; a 7-11 store, with all the typical parking-lot loiterers, at the front door, and what looks like a village of slum apartments behind. Decent restaurants are within walking distance, but you would be well-advised not to walk in the neighborhood (even the one block distance) after dark.
Fresno has far too many options to consider staying at the Piccadilly, University.

The matress was great, it was not awful. I did ask them about this prior to checking into the hotels and the gentleman told me that they had just upgraded. I was thrilled to learn about this. I stayed in bed the entire stay because it was sooooooooo hot! The saty was wonderful until I got home and saw my hotel bill. so far I think they overcharge me by at least $70.

I was a bit concerned after reading user reviews for this hotel. Our track team stayed here for a meet. The rooms have been remodeled very recently and the rooms are HUGE. Had room for my son's playpen and still plenty of room to move around. The...

Lobby was attractive. Room card needed to enter hallways provided extra security.I discovered ants on my bed sheets upon getting up in the morning. Front desk attendant apologized but offered no compensation. Generally, nicer than average facility....
