This isn't a plush, over-the-top, luxury hotel. But if you want a decently furnished, clean, comfortable room, go here. And if you want to avoid paying ridiculous parking fees, like at the other hotels nearby, go here. The shower is awesome with a huge rain shower head and PARKING IS FREE!!!. The only downside is the street noise if your... More

I stay at the Hotel Hanford frequently and enjoy my experience everytime. The front desk staff is friendly and welcoming. I appreciate that they remember me by name. The restaurant staff is equally awesome! I typically will sit at the bar and enjoy a glass of wine to wind down from my day. The food is always great and I... More

All I can say is WOW! My husband and I stayed for a weekend (fri-mon) and had such a memorable experience. From beginning to end, the service was far above what anyone can ask for. The clerks were fantastic! EVERYONE we came in contact with there at the hotel was friendly, always offering to assit in anyway and asking how... More

This hotel is basically a wannabe night club. The music was blasting so loud, the walls in our room were shaking. According to the front desk, this is exactly what the DJ was paid to do. We had to check out in the middle of the night and relocate to another hotel. To add insult to injury, the night before,... More

The hotel is decent but make certain you have all your property because their housekeeping staff will NOT turn it in. Then the hotel will not acknowledge it at all, they will simply repeat over and over to you that they have never had anything stolen from their hotel by their staff. In the end they even refused to make... More

Great hotel, for being the new player on the block. It's trendy and has the look of sophistication. Seems like it's for the "new businessperson", late 20s to 30s, looking for something not built for children, and lacks the corporate feel. Though it lacks things like in-room amenities of a coffee maker and bottled water, it has a decent pool... More

I like the location as it was right off the freeway. And the great shopping of Orange County within a 5 minute drive. But the property itself is a bit strange. The design and decor are very hip. But the public areas (pool, workout area) felt very much like its old Holiday Inn history. It sorta feels like a wanna... More
