What guests think

At Garden Inn and Suites Fresno, travelers praise the lush garden setting, spacious suites, and often friendly staff, but many report recurring temperature-control problems, dated maintenance, and mixed cleanliness, with breakfast and pool or hot tub availability varying considerably.

The setting is convenient for Highway 99 travelers and right by the Forestiere Underground Gardens, with a quiet, tucked-away feel inside the grounds. Multiple guests also mention limited TV channels and inconsistent Wi-Fi. Expect a charming environment, and check climate control and key amenities on arrival to ensure a comfortable stay.

There was construction going on so the pool always had a layer of soot/dust on it and the hot tub wasn't working. Considering it was in the 90s the pool would've been nice, that being said as much as I enjoyed everything else about the stay (the front desk was awesome and the interior of the hotel was great!) I'm going to have to think twice about booking here on my next visit in November. Missing a major amenity is amjor deal.

The 2 room suite was spacious, furniture a bit tired. An update was done but left an unneeded telephone cover/connection plug on the wall that looked old & smoke stained. This could have been removed spackled & painted. There was a kitchen but stove was disabled, no dishes, silverware, cupboards were bare. There was a coffee machine & working large fridge. The free breakfast was good in lobby but while eating I noticed the doors were filthy from many hands using the doors. That's if that's the dirt you can see, what else is dirty you can't see? The suite seemed clean and we did leave a tip for the maid. We were looking forward to the pool & jacuzzi but the pool was cold & lots of debris floating on top. The jacuzzi was warm (not hot) but the jets weren[t working.

I really wanted to like this place. The grounds were lovely. There were many fruit trees that added to the ambience. But I got into my room and it was freezing. I turned on the heat waited a while, but nothing. The front desk staff was helpful and offered a space heater or a different room. I chose a different room and it was nice and warm. Unfortunately I woke up early and it was freezing and I couldn’t get the heat to come back on. Eventually, it did warm up a bit. But I think you can’t control any of the temperature with the in room thermostats that was very disappointing as it was so cold outside it was not the cleanest place and there were ants in the bathroom and a stain on the towel. Again the front desk staff was nice and tried to help. I do think guest should know ahead of time that they cannot control the heat.

On a hot summer season stay. Other than the first room there was given to us was dirty, floor and furnitures have unexplanable dirty stains, unclean, bed were not made. We have to walk all the way back to the front desk told the man on duty. About the room he gave us. He was nice enough to give us another room, at the end of the property. Oh 2nd room all have the uncleaned issues same as the first room, but the bed is made, On top of that AC doesn't work, over ten mosquitoes were flying around and it started to bite us. The bath towels were on the floor and after our long drive with over 20 mosquitoes in the room biting us as we sleep with the fan high speed, later AC the starting to work. We were able to fall asleep. Overall the property looks like it have a potential to be a nice place for a short stay. Note to property owner: Your property can be very beautiful. But it can use a deep stream clean on the carpet, furnitures especially the chairs, sofa and repaint the wall especially in the bathroom with a lot of nasty stains it's hard to look pass as a clean place to sit. Overall: customer service Friendly, street parking for large size car and trailer. Good for short stays.

The front desk area was very smelly. It was us assaulting to my nose. Anytime I had to go in there. I thought I was going to be sick. I asked how late the hot tub and pool were opened and he quickly said the hot tub was broken and to not get in the pool because it was dirty. I then went into the room and there was flies filling the entire unit. The bathroom had mosquitoes in it it was very dirty. The sheets were not cleaned. The furniture was falling apart, and there was questionable stains on the furniture. He also only gave me one key. I had to go back and enter the smelly office to get another Key. I would not recommend although if you do have to stay here there’s a really good Mexican restaurants next-door. staff was also rude and unpleasant. The bellhop trolleys had broken glass on them so I could not use them to carry my luggage. I

Rooms are INFESTED by maggots !! When we checked in we left because we were in town for a sports event , we didn’t get back until late and went to bed , when we woke up in the morning we realized the room was full of maggots , EVERYWHERE . Falling from the ceilings , in the corners , behind the tv , literally everywhere . Its disgusting . I asked for a refund, and noticed MANY other guest leaving for the same reason . Of course they are not refunding me , so unless you want to sleep with worms , DO NOT BOOK !!!!!!! I will be reporting to health department and to the city . Shame on them and shame on Expedia for not protecting their customers .

This is the only time I have ever checked into a hotel and immediately decided to leave. We were traveling with our dog, which may have influenced our room assignment, but the condition of the room was unacceptable. While spacious, it was extremely dirty, with an overwhelming odor and a floor so sticky that my shoes stuck to it as I walked. Additionally, the first two electrical outlets I tried didn’t work. Despite the room having a stove and refrigerator, it was poorly stocked—there was only one cup and no utensils. I addressed my concerns with the manager, who offered to move us to another room. However, given the state of this one, I had little confidence in the overall cleanliness of the hotel and chose to stay elsewhere.

The gentleman at the front desk was very nice. However, the place is a bit run down and that would be fine if i hadn't found crumbs or something similar in my bed. I slept on top, no longer believing it clean. Also, a pior guest had left a razor on top of the shower, so clearly the housekeeping isnt very good. No offer to take money off our stay was made, but nor did I ask. The flowers on the grounds were pretty and the pool and hottub looked clean. Breakfast was good.

This is a lovely "hidden gem" property tucked between several chain hotels along Hwy 99 in North Fresno. The room was a full 2 room suite with a door locking the bedroom from the living rm & \'kitchen\' area. (ie: 2 locked doors). The gardens were real and lovely. Check in was quick and easy - and I believe the charming gracious man who checked us in may be the owner himself? He also manned the breakfast room the following morning being sure there was enough milk, and to point out hardboiled eggs in packets when I asked if eggs were available. (They seen to be a staple in many hotel\'s included breakfast, but they tend to be hard and lack flavor - not his fault!) The TV channel choices were minimal as it turned out to be on local antenna only. The kitchen had a full size refrigerator and microwave. A 2nd TV was in the living area with a couch and coffee table. Room can connect for larger groups traveling together.

The room was clean but outside the trash cans were full and overflowed to the ground. The front desk clerk knocked on my door at 11:30 pm waking me up just to ask my name and ask the spelling. I was shouting through the door because I did not want to open the door to a stranger late at night.

I had to go and find the desk agent so I could checkin. And when I did he was dismissive and seemed to be put out. When I got to my ppm it was sweltering hot! There are no thermostats on the rooms, all controlled from the front desk. So I went down and had to find him yet again so he could turn the heat off. I don’t think he did because the room never cooled down even with the windows open. We’ve stayed here before and have always had a great experience. This has left us with a bit of a sour taste. The next time we’re in town for work we will stay again and hopefully things will be better. But alas if not…

The AC in the first two-bedroom “suite” did not work at all. Jackson, the front desk manager, moved us into a comparable room, but the AC only worked in one of the two bedrooms. Later, “someone” started knocking on our door, and even started to come in uninvited. When I demanded to know who it was, he said he was “from the office” and came to offer us two separate rooms somewhere else on the property. I’m traveling with my sister and was not going to leave her alone in her own separate room in an already sketchy situation. If it were up to me, and I were traveling alone, I would’ve demanded a refund and gone and found a place that had working air conditioning and wasn’t so rundown.
