About Garden View Inn
When you are traveling, the basics should be easy. Comfortable, uncomplicated lodging in North Fresno, California.
A Simple Idea for Everyday Travel
Garden View Inn is the kind of place built around a simple idea: when you are traveling, the basics should be easy. You should be able to check in, settle into a comfortable room, park without an extra charge and connect to Wi-Fi without thinking twice about it. If you need help, someone should be available to answer your question. After a long day, you should have somewhere quiet to come back to.
That is the experience we aim to provide at Garden View Inn in Fresno, CA. Located on North Blackstone Avenue, we welcome guests visiting Fresno for all kinds of reasons. Some are here for a quick overnight stop. Others are spending a few days with family, visiting the university, working in the area or exploring Central California.
We also see travelers passing through Fresno as they continue toward Yosemite and other destinations. Whatever brings you here, we want your stay to feel uncomplicated.

Evening AmbianceWhy the Name Garden View Inn?
Step outside your room and you will understand. Our property has landscaped garden areas filled with greenery, flowers and palm trees. Outdoor seating gives guests a place to sit for a while, and in the evening, lighting around the courtyard adds a warm touch to the surroundings.
It is not meant to be a grand resort garden. That is not who we are. It is simply a pleasant outdoor space that brings a little greenery into your stay. For someone who has spent hours driving, been out all day or just wants a few minutes outside the room, that can be a welcome change of pace.
Comfort That Makes Sense
We believe a good motel stay often comes down to the little things. A room that can be cooled down after a hot Fresno afternoon. A fridge where you can keep your drinks cold. A microwave when you bring dinner back with you. Coffee available in the room when you're getting ready for an early start. These are everyday conveniences, but they are the ones travelers actually use.
