A (very general) boundary would be the rectangle formed by Frersno Street, Freeway 99, Inyo Street and G Street. Despite its name, Chinatown also had Japanese places (like the Aki Department Store at Kern and G Streets) and several Mexican places, such as the Mexico Cafe on E Street and F Street's Azteca Theatre, a movie theatre where my father took my siblings and myself in a (vain) attempt to have us absorb Spanish. My father was a cook, and he knew most of the restaurant/coffee shop employees in the area - when I about 5 years old I would often tag along as he visited his friends in these places on his day off.
There was (is) also a big Buddhist temple at Kern and E, next to the Danish Creramery dairy.

There is an annual Jazz concert (this year's performance was by Hisoshima) held at the old fire station to raise money to support projects in the area like the conversion of the old Bow-On Association building into a museum. http://www.fresno-chinatown.org/

Just completed a stay at the Hampton inn in Clovis at 855 Gettysburg Ave
Clovis California 93612.
Hotel was very clean and nice. Treated well and served traditional breakfast as you would expect at Hampton. They did have ham and cheese omelets which were good. I recently made diamond and didn't feel any extra treatment other then two bottles of water in the room.
Overall a decent hotel that I would return to if I'm back in Fresno.
