The Irwin Street Inn — Hotel in Hanford

Staying at The Irwin Street Inn and Restaurant was a wonderful experience. We stayed at the Inn for the first time in March 2024. We were met by Ricky, the Manager, and a very friendly and accommodating person with many interesting stories to tell about the Inn. He does an excellent job managing the Inn and he made our stay that much more enjoyable.||The Restaurant and main part of the Inn is a historical landmark, built in 1886. The interior of the Inn and Restaurant are beautiful, with antique furnishings, stain glassed windows, tables overlooking the expansive courtyard, lined with trees and a stately Camphor tree that is over 100 years old. The restaurant offers a wonderful dining experience, with polished antique wood including the full-service bar, stained glass windows and lovely artwork. The menu offers many choices, the chef is excellent and the prices are more than reasonable, | |Our room overlooked the courtyard. The Inn is very quiet with the only sound being the soothing sound of a train in the distance. We couldn’t have been happier with the room, high ceilings, adorned with antique furnishings, a large stained glass window, lovely artwork, and a very comfortable bed. The room was very clean. The highlight of the room was the large Victorian tub. We were to learn that someone quite famous recently stayed in our room.||If you are a cat lover, there are a couple of friendly resident cats that like to interact with the guests, one lovely little cat named “Keno” who made our stay all that much more enjoyable. ||The Inn is just a few minutes’ walk from the beautiful Civic Center Park and the historic Hanford Fox Theater, one of the few remaining theaters built in the 20s, which is fully restored to its 1929 elegance. The Park also has many restaurants, cafes and shops. Hanford was declared one of the 12 “Hidden Gems” in America Better Homes and Garden magazine and Architecture Magazine. The Irwin Street Inn location is perfect for exploring Hanford.||Whether it is for planning a business convention, planning a Wedding, or just for a weekend getaway, The Irwin Street Inn is the perfect place. If you are planning on exploring the Sequoia National Park, the Inn is less than an hour’s drive to the Park.||We could not have been happier with the Irwin Street Inn and cannot recommend it highly enough. You are guaranteed to have a wonderful experience staying there. We hope to...

We thought it would be fun to celebrate our anniversary with a night at the small independent hotel in Hanford. It was "historical"! The minute we pulled in we thought it strange that there wasn't a single other car in the parking lot. There was a homeless guy set up in the corner and a various vagrants wandering through the parking lot (some even stopped to see what they could steal from the sleeping homeless guy). The bar was completely empty on a Saturday night and by all appearances so was this entire hotel. We walked up the stairs to our room, open the door and the first thing that hits you is a strong musty smell...and then we realize that there are no linens at all. The bed is stripped completely bare and someone's reusable water bottle is still in the room. He tries to call the front desk but lo and behold the phone doesn't work. He walks back to the front desk where they apologize and say that "housekeeping " told them it was ready for people. Ok, people make mistakes...they say they are going to "upgrade"our room. The new room is on the first floor approximately 15 feet from the previously mentioned homeless guys cart. This seems a little sketchy but let's check it out. This room is just as musty with 1980s dated decor (think wallpaper, pink stained carpet, pastel plastic picture frames, the works but in a super old Victorian style building. This time there were sheets etc but the blinds don't fully cover the windows. We tried to watch a little tv (old tube style) on the bed. We couldn't get any channels to work other than the basic (free channels) and tried to relax. We ended up leaving and going home after about an hour as we were unable to get comfortable and were worried about leaving our car in the parking lot. I would not recommend this place and I...
