Words cannot describe the beauty encompassed in this region. I was born in Fresno, California 54 years ago. I didn't discover this area, Garden Inn/Suites and the Forestiere Underground Garden until several years ago. A must-see and visit for the entire family!

Think twice

WiFi had spotty service. Phone did not work. I tried calling front desk but never got a dial tone. Hair dryer did not work. Whenever I turned I on, the bathroom lights turned off. 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.

All was Nice “ But they could supply a better continental breakfast without a broken toaster…. The continental breakfast is a small area with plenty of people and There wasn’t much to choose from. The Rooms were nice but needs more towels and no ants in Kitchen…. The Pool was Ok But need to get rid of the smaller metal rusted tables and it would’ve been nice to have a working Jacuzzi…

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.

We stayed here for one night. We checked in late, around 10:30 p.m., and unfortunately, there was no AC for the entire night. It was very suffocating, and we couldn’t sleep because of the loud noise coming from the AC vent. When I mentioned this to the receptionist in the morning (a young lady), she said she would check with the manager and provide a 10–15% refund. I wasn’t even asking for a refund, but this experience left me quite disappointed. Based on this, I also feel that some of the reviews may not reflect the actual experience

My stay here was very disappointing. The room had no air conditioning, which made it extremely uncomfortable, especially at night. The pool was dirty and definitely not inviting to use. Breakfast was also a letdown — there was barely any food available, and the options that were there were very limited. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel unless improvements are made in cleanliness, amenities, and basic comfort.
