We are seasoned travelers in our 50s. We have been around the world. I must say Tripadvisor let us down this time. This hotel was one of the worst we have experienced. From unfriendly owners who were sleeping in the middle of the day when we checked in... to a thermostat that was physical altered so you could not adjust... More

The owners are what makes this place special. They are extremely hard-working, helpful, good people. They built this hotel from the ground up, and take a lot of care in the details -- lovely fruit trees, clean walkways, immaculate lobby. It is near the Underground Gardens and the 99 freeway. This is the best place to stay in Fresno! More

We knew we found a hideaway treasure, and we've come back to stay several more times. The place is very well-run, with a pool, jacuzzi, and full breakfast. Parking and units are enclosed in a well-lit courtyard with security cameras. The owners are a husband and wife who have created a horticultural oasis. They built this little gem from bare... More

I was not expecting the hotel to look so nice. The staff were very friendly and the outside is kept really clean. The only reason why it isn't 5 stars is because the rooms are outdated. They have old TVs, and no cable. Also, the bathroom wasn't very clean and the air conditioning was not functioning properly. But I would... More

This hotel is a good value for the price. We stayed in a family suite (two bedrooms connected by a living room and kitchenette), which are very convenient for families or folks traveling in a group. The rooms are utilitarian, a little dated, and immaculately clean. A few minor repairs would improve them (such as replacing the missing deadbolt on... More

For the #2 rated hotel, we expected more. Breakfast was great, but we felt room needed updating. Grounds were beautiful and hotst were very friendly and helpful. More

This is a little gem in Fresno. Stayed here just one night on the way to Yosemite, but would definitely come back if in the area. We arrived at night and felt very safe. The owners were there to greet us and check us in. The room was quiet and clean. It is basic and the bathroom a bit dated,... More

Who would ever suspect that along CA State Route 99 would be such a wonderful place to stay! First, let me say that my wife -who accompanied me on this business trip - is a flight attendant for a major airline, so she knows hotels! The Asian owners/managers are the reason for this hotel's success! The warmest, kindest, most charming... More

Stayed here between my trip to Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. The woman at the front desk was so nice. She and her husband were so knowledgeable about the area. They helped with information on driving routes, fueling places, and sights not to miss. I think they might be the owners of the Inn. This nice couple made waffles for... More

Stayed for just 1 overnight on the way to Yosemite. Reserved on booking.com. Arrived late. Plenty of spaces in very well-lit lot. Appears fairly safe area. Got upgraded to a suite. Impeccably clean room if a little outdated, but not old/worn. Ceiling fans plus A/C. Name brand toiletries (pantene, vasoline, jergens). Very comfy bedding and thick towels. Breakfast was terrific...
