“a good night's sleep!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 30, 2012

We chose this hotel for it's proximity to our event and the price. The room was clean, we heard very little noise, the bed and pillows were comfortable, the air conditioning worked great--we were very satisfied. It's not a 5 star hotel, nor does it pretend to be. They have a nice continental breakfast.

The only think we missed was wi-fi in our hotel room, although it was available in the lobby/breakfast area.

“Probably best in Hanford - but not great”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2012

When I made the reservation I was certain to explain that we needed a King bed and a sofa sleeper for two children. They quoted $89 per night. Expensive for Hanford but perhaps worth it. First problem was when we checked in I asked about the sofa sleeper just to be sure. They said there was no sofa bed in the room and would I like a room with two queens. I said no I wanted what I had reserved, a king with a sofa sleeper for two. They then suggested the executive suite with a king in one room and a sofa in the other. I said that would be great and how much did that cost. They said $119 per night (with the AAA discount). So we bit the bullet and went up to our room. Unfortunately, the second problem was it wasn't a sofa sleeper for two, it was a single. So we still didn't have beds for four. So we called down to the desk and they offered to send up a roll-away, for an additional $6 per night. Now we were up to $126 per night or $70 more than I thought we were going to pay for our two-night stay. Oh well, what choice did we have?
The good news - the room was clean, the beds were comfortable. Pillows were good. They need a hook in the bathroom. There should be a law that all hotel bathrooms come with a hook for hanging garments. The only alternatives are the floor or the toilet - ewww.
The breakfast was ok. Not great but not bad. Front desk staff was hard to find. Often they were away from the desk in a back office.
Two common complaints about Hanford - the train wakes you up all night and the water smells. I didn't experience either of these issues at the Sequoia. Room was relatively quiet and the water didn't smell.
If we ever have to return to Hanford we will probably stay there again.

Room Tip: Train tracks are on the east side. Rooms on the west are quieter. Make sure you have enough beds for...

Thank you for choosing to stay with us here at Sequoia Inn during your recent visit to Hanford!

I do apologize for the issues you were faced during your stay with us. Please note we do not have a King room with a sofa sleeper and the only rooms that do have sofa sleepers are the Suites. Since you had checked in the staff was getting to know the new product that was installed a week before your stay with us. However, it is unacceptable that you had to go through a difficult experience to accommodate you and your loved ones.

Please note I have spoke to the staff in regards to your review and coached them on the new product we have in our rooms so we do not repeat what you had experienced with us. Also, thank you for your recommendation on the hook in the bathrooms as we are looking into them and will have something in place soon.

Again, I do apologize for the troubles you were faced with and rest assured that all your feedback is valued and is appreciated.

Thank you again for your review and hope to see you again.

Have a wonderful day,

“Okay Place To Stay In Hanford”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2011

The best thing the hotel has going for it is the location. It is near the Hanford Mall, restaurants, Wal-Mart and Target. It probably has the best location of all the Hanford motels.
The rooms were clean with microwave and mini fridge. The furniture have seen better days. Much of it was worn from use and age, but did the job. The bedspreads were worn and faded out with a few holes, they need to be replaced. The pillows are useless, The Sequoia Inn needs to invest in restocking all the pillows. They were flat with no life left in them, just another outdated item.
The staff was friendly, but I really didn't have much contact with them. If you needed anything they were very prompt. This is one area I can't fault.
The breakfast was ample enough. Standard pasteries, fruit, toast, coffee and juice. Clean eating area.
Overall this hotel is okay. It is clean, which is probably most important. Just a few things changed and it could really by a good hotel. If staying in Hanford there aren't alot of choices. This just might be your best bet.

Thank you for choosing to stay with us here at Sequoia Inn during your past visit to Hanford!

I do apologize for the poor quality of the bed you had to experience during your stay with us. However, since your past stay here, Sequoia Inn has hit the “Re-set button” and we have been through a refurbishment in December 2011. So, when you stay with us again we will have flat screen TVS, new furniture, new linens, and new Serta pillow top mattresses in all rooms to guarantee a more peaceful nights rest.

Again, thank you for your past stay with us here at Sequoia Inn and thank you for taking the time to write a review. We hope to see you again so you can experience our newly refurbished rooms.

Have a wonderful day,

“Worth the price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 29, 2011 via mobile

The staff were very helpful and friendly and the lobby was very nice..we had a dog with us and there was no extra charge for her!room was nice and had a coffee maker,fridge and microwave.perfect!everything was clean well kept.only slight downside was the room we were in had a very faint pee odor but it didn't bother us too much.after all,it's a pet friendly hotel and they do take very good care of the premises.we had to check out at 4 am to catch our flight and the guy at the front desk was very prompt and polite.we had an excellent stay and the fact that the mall and restaurants are right across the street makes this hotel by far the best value for money we've ever stayed at.a gem in Hanford!
