For most travelers, Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) is the only practical gateway located within the city itself. It provides the most efficient access to downtown via taxi or local bus. The other listed airports serve entirely different regions and are not in Fresno: Stockton Metropolitan Airport (SCK) is in the nearby city of Stockton, while Merced Regional Airport (MCE) serves the Merced area. Both require significant overland travel, often involving multi-hour bus journeys or private transfers, making them inefficient alternatives for those bound for Fresno. Further afield, Mammoth Yosemite Airport (MMH) and Eastern Sierra Regional Airport (BIH) are located in the Eastern Sierra mountains. These airports cater specifically to mountain resort tourism and require extensive travel through the Sierra Nevada, which can be seasonally dependent. Travelers aiming for Fresno should prioritize FAT to avoid high costs and long commute times associated with these remote regional airports.

A town on the railway line, there will be train noise at night.
If the room is not good, it will affect sleep.
The breakfast is very sufficient and you can order different meals. Standardized management is satisfactory.FromUS$128

Hôtel principalement occupé par des gens qui ne peuvent se permettre un appartement. Nous y avons fait un pitstop pour la nuit dans le cadre d’un road trip en Californie. Il y avait un coin kitchenette mais aucun ustensile ou article de cuisine (ni assiette, ni verre). Je crois qu’ils ont tout retiré parce qu’ils se faisaient tout voler. Nous avons entendu les enfants de la chambre d’à côté crier et frapper le mur toute la nuit. Bref, ce n’est pas une « destination », mais une place pour dormir quand on a pas trop le choix.FromUS$62

The location is near railroad tracks so if you're a light sleeper, which I'm not, might not work for you. The layout of my room (don't know about the others) is a little problematic. There's a door to the bathroom which doesn't have a fan which automatically closes, trapping all the humidity in there. Also in my particular room, probably partially related to the last item is that there was some black mold on some of the grout. The shower curtain wasn't installed correctly so it would gradually slide towards the center, defeating the purpose of even having a curtain. It looks like there must have been some flooding at some point because the bottom of the bathroom door had a lot of water damage.
But, the worst thing was the internet connectivity. This place had the worst I've ever experienced. I tried the wired and the wireless internet and maxed out at 4Mbps. Since I remote into work, this wasn't enough to make me even remotely productive.
On the positive side, the supplied breakfast was good.
I did let the lady at the front desk know about my experience; said she let maintenance know.FromUS$93

I like it here very much. Their front desk is very enthusiastic and always smiles at you. Parking is very convenient, the environment is very quiet, and the surroundings are very convenient. It is very suitable for business trips. The breakfast is not so rich, but the price here is always suitable.FromUS$82

The hotel is located in an urban area, and it is biased towards business travellers. There are many choices for food. This time I just passed by for one night. There is not much demand in other aspects. Generally speaking, the price/performance ratio is good.FromUS$98

The interior space of the rooms is in need of updating. Poor and shotty workmanship is very evident in what is there now. The fitness room is accessed by an outside door next to the lobby and when I attempted to open it two homeless men staggered out. There were marks on the floor from spilt soda hopefully. It did not smell like urine but it was creepy. The have cameras in the unit but they either don't work or no one is monitoring the room. I recommened they do a couple physical sweeps every evening since it was mentioned this is not the first time they have had this problem. There is a container for dissenfectant wipes but it was empty. The fan in the fitness room does not work. The clock on the wall is not working. This is all in the fitness room.
The parking situation needs to be addressed. One exit is closed so you have to go against the directional traffic arrows to get out of the property.
We found the bed comfortable and the complimentary breakfast in the morning acceptable. FromUS$83

Close to the airport, good location, very close to the car rental location. After the car was picked up, I came to check in. The neighborhood was mainly Mexican restaurants, with fast food locations. Breakfast is relatively simple, hot food only eggs potatoes and chicken sausage, and a variety of bread and berries.FromUS$99

Hotel location is good, get off the highway and find it quickly. Room facilities are new and sanitary conditions are good. Breakfast is simple and convenient. Due to some facilities decoration, the windows were sealed and the lighting was affected a little. The decoration starts at 8 o'clock in the morning and there will be some noise.FromUS$159

The room is very clean and sanitary, the breakfast is average, white food. It is very close to Fresno Airport, and it is very convenient to rent a car at the airport, with many brands of car rental companies. It takes two and a half hours to drive from the hotel to Yosemite. You need to make an appointment to enter Yosemite during the peak season in July and August!FromUS$149
