Irwin Street Inn

SEPTIC SYSTEM WAS OVERFLOWING INTO THE GARDEN. We had to walk by human feces to get to our room.
If this wasn’t enough, the armchairs in the room were stained with bodily oils and dirt, the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night, and the wifi didn’t work for me or my roommate.
Terrible place. Never stay here.

Don’t waste your time or money here at this Inn. Management has decided to do nothing about the accommodations based on user reviews and personal experience.
The room was smelly. It smelled like an old wet dog. The toilet was broken when we got into our room, and we couldn’t fix it. It was 1 am so we just went to sleep and checked out the next morning. The sheets are old and stained. The carpet was stained and crusty in some areas. The room was 49 degrees when we walked in and it took hours to warm it up. The graffiti on the wall was par for the course after all that transpired.
The only good thing I can say is that we were able to check out without any penalty as we had booked for three days. We did have to pay for one night.
Extremely disappointing. It looks cute from the outside but the rooms are something much different.

This location offers different services, whether you want to go out and have a nice dinner and drinks, a Victorian era night stay, and a place to have any party or occasion! The staff is very flexible and will help you meet your expectations! I have attended and been part of many events, not one person has left dissatisfied. The chef is well known for over time and is popular for its food, the food is delicious and the ambiance is beautiful, it takes you to a Victorian era! This place has a lot of history and is opened to anyone! Come live the experience or call them today to book a party! (559)584−9286

VIctorian Era stay Inn.
Chef makes the best food.
There are always events.
There is a bar on property, so thats good and something to do in this small town.

My husband and I just stayed there for 2 nites while visiting reletives in Hanford! We loved the History and all of the Gorgeous Stain Glass windows, old wood moldings, claw foot tubs, and the antiques in the rooms are BEAUTIFUL!!! things you would never see in newer chain hotels! The staff, Everyone was really kind and friendly!!! The Breakfasts were Great!!! We Loved our stay and we would definately go back!!! This is an Old Victorian from the 1880s The Grounds and the old trees were Beautiful!!! We Just Loved the place can not say enough good things about it!!!

Not a huge amount of gluten free choices. Salads only but those are nice. Had the grilled pear with prosciutto. Wasn’t all prosciutto though had salami in it too. Very tasty.

The food, drink and atmosphere is great. If they were an old man they’d be Sam Elliot. If they were an older woman they’d be Betty White. If they were an animal they be a god damn cougar. Enough said. They nailed it. Ask for Lizzy.

If you like being happy, go to Irwin Street Inn. If you like to be unhappy go anywhere else cause Irwin street inn is where awesome people go to be awesome. Oh it’s Sunday? Get some mimosa in my belly! Irwin street knows what I need! Irwin Street Inn is the Cadillac of mimosa sunday destinations. If you disagree, you are wrong!

Had breakfast there on a Thursday morning. We were the only people there. We sat outside and it was nice and quiet. The waitress was nice and the chef greeted us. The food came quick and was very good. The price was right and the mimosa’s was really good. Better than sitting in a Denny’s any day!!! Hidden gem in Hanford.

We had dinner here last night for my husband’s birthday. Was very happy. I had lamb chops cooked perfectly. All the steaks and the salmon was also cooked perfectly
We will be back. The downside. Too much food. We went early due to elderly parents, but service was good and a very nice atmosphere.

Found place by accident. All other hotels were booked. This hotel is like visiting aunt Betty’s. If you are looking for perfection, this may not be the place for you. This place is charming and has a warm welcoming feel to it. Beds are comfortable, rooms are clean but not spotless as this is an old Victorian home. We stayed upstairs which is rumored to be haunted, this added to the fun, we saw nothing btw. You get a delicious complementary breakfast. There is a bar and sometimes parties on patio. Staff are informal but very friendly and accommodating. Price was very reasonable especially when you consider your breakfast is included. We will definitely come back.

My first review was based off of being completely new to the area and finally finding a place where my age group could go and have fun.
After going back to the Inn more than once I have to say I am not impressed, here are some cons to Irwin Street Inn:
1. The rooms at the inn are always cold unless there is a space heater placed.
2. There are rarely any hand towels or wash cloths because the establishment doesn’t have any.
3. When the Inn is closed, it’s very hard to get ahold of anyone; there is a time period where the Inn is actually closed, and the phone gets forward to one of the residents living at the Inn.
4. There are a few decent staff members; the housekeeper that use to work there was very prompt and made the rooms look amazing (me).
5. This ties into number three, but the owner is very very hard to get ahold of. He rarely comes into the Inn and when he does, he leaves to go shopping or he goes up to his office.
6. There isn’t much communication with the staff. For instance, a guest orders something off of the menu that is priced differently than they were told. When they go to pay for their order, another staff member would argue the original price with the guest because the first staff member had not communicated it to the second staff member.
7. The events that are thrown at the inn aren’t my age group– friendly. The Pre-​Thanksgiving Bash was perfect for my age group, but when I later found out that the event wasn’t planned by Irwin Street Inn, I then realized why.
8. The food is a bit over priced for me.
9. I hate to add this one, but I also felt there was prejudism.
Despite all of the cons, there is one pro;
1. The food is delicious.

This is a quaint place to take your wife on a lunch date. It’s nice to sit in a place with a little charm. The soups are always good I just wish they had a little more menu choices.

Absolutely fantastic Sunday buffet. Excellent selection, lovely mimosas and great time. Thank you!

Been here twice in last month food is so good. On Friday nights they offer live music and you can dine outside in a lit up garden area. Pretty romantic. I had the sirloin once and the apple wine pork chops the next time. Very yummy. My husband had the shrimp cooked in wine, and they were so huge. The twice baked potato is also very good and they offer a world famous escargot for appetizer, if you are a little adventurous.

Had brunch with the fam and it was great!

I’m a native of Hanford, and living here once again after years away.
On behalf of my hometown, I apologize to anyone who has had a bad experience at the Irwin Street Inn. I am saddened by these posts, and not at all surprised. I too have had awful experiences with the current management/​owners, and haven’t been back in years.
It used to be a wonderful place, with excellent food. It was — years ago — THE place to stay in Hanford. My family and I often had Sunday brunch there and celebrated special occasions there often. No longer.
I encourage any of you who’ve had problems to contact the local Chamber of Commerce [www​.han​ford​cham​ber​.com] or at 109 West 7^th Street, Hanford — (559) 582‑0483; or the visitors’ bureau; as well as the California state visitors’ bureau and the AAA or CSAA and register your complaints and concerns. You’ll be doing the rest of us, and the Irwin Street Inn a favor.

This was an absolute disaster! I frequently travel and I must say this was the worst experience I have ever had while traveling.
First, the phone did not work at the front door to call the desk that we had arrives. After check-​in we were lead to our room without any welcome of instruction about the amenities of at the Bed & Breakfast. I still don’t know when breakfast is served, etc. The room was filthy, cobwebs, dusty, tub needed to be scrubbed, towels in the room smelled moldy. We were told that there was a problem with the heat and we could us a portable unit to heat the room. But, the two things that made me pack my bags and and leave were that the bed linens had been slept in and there was body hair in the sheets and the front door had a key broken off in the lock. Wouldn’t the innkeeper has noticed this when he «opened» the door to show us the room? I decided to give the front desk a call to report my concerns and there was no answer… the phone rang, rang, and rang. We had to search the grounds to find someone to then go and locate the manager. We showed him the problem and there was not effort on his part to fix the problem. By this time I had packed my bags and left. I made a reservation on the phone for the Comfort Inn down the street which was clean and safe. This place has so much potential. DON’T STAY HERE EVER!

This was a very disappointing experience, largely due to the huge potential of this almost charming facility. The place is a wreck, which reflects the mentality of the proprietorship perfectly. On a night when there was frost on the ground, my parents arrived at the Irwin Street Inn to find that their room had no heat. «No one told you there was no heat in that building?» asked the manager, who was dealing with the problem via cell phone as there was no staff to be found. No, no one mentioned that fact and it took an hour of mind numbingly bad service to fix the problem by switching them to another room. When you add in the fraying towels, cracked epoxy on the fixtures, generally dilapidated condition of the place, and less than meticulous cleaning job it makes you want to cry for what this place could have been and most likely was once.

Good Times!
Nice place for a drink with good company.
Love the outdoor seating and the staff is very friendly.
