Park Inn by Radisson Fresno is currently the most western Park Inn hotel in the US for the Carlson Rezidor Hotels Group brand. Park Inn is far more prevalent in Europe. This hotel was the Four Points by Sheraton Fresno, a Starwood hotel, when I stayed orlando florida travel info here in May 2011.
Check-in was easy and the lobby looked the same to me as I remember it last year. Turns out that I had not taken any photos of the lobby from my stay last year. The Park Inn Fresno website has a photo slideshow with images of the lobby, pool, fitness room and Smuggler's restaurant on site.
There are five separate buildings for hotel rooms as I recall. The building I was located in did not have an ice machine. My room key card would not open the doors of any other buildings. Getting ice took about ten minutes of walking around and finally using the ice machine in the main lobby building.
Waking up at 5am to see there were only three packets of decaffeinated coffee did not settle well with my morning routine. On my way out of the hotel I checked the lobby for full strength coffee. No coffee in the lobby and the Smuggler's Restaurant was not yet open when I left the hotel.
orlando florida travel info Last year I stayed in the second floor room above the fitness center and the noise from the exercise equipment carried into my room. My primary complaint from my stays last year at this property when it was a Four Points was the noise from other hotel rooms.
My stay last week qualified for the Park Inn One + One Club Carlson promotion for 44,000 orlando florida travel info bonus points with one stay May 22-July 22. I booked this stay for $89 on the Park Inn site and then filed a Carlson Hotels Best Rate Guarantee claim against hotels.com with their $80 rate. My approved Best Rate Guarantee claim reduced the lower hotels.com $80 rate by 25% to $60 for the night.

We had two rooms at the Park Inn ABQ (as Gold Club Carlson members). One had sliding glass doors that opened onto an adjoining hallway rather than windows. The other looked out onto a derelict, covered-over pool area and a rooftop covered in shattered beer bottles. I would not wish a stay at the Park Inn ABQ on anyone!
