I am a long time local in Hanford. Until recently I had no idea Irwin St Inn offered such great quality meals. They have the best steak locally. Whether it's the Ribeye or Filet, everytime is superb. Don't miss out on this local gem!
We stayed here with my daughters & all enjoyed our stay. The staff & cook were all very nice & in a great location downtown. Where there's restaurants, a quaint little coffee house, wine place, bars, movie theater, lots of shops, & any festivities that are going on in the civic center.
I recommend The Irwin Street Inn you guys need to visit this hotel and enjoy the stancy
Surprisingly cute boutique in a cute town in the central valley. Basic rooms are small, but cozy. Old fashioned fixtures like a claw foot tub and antique armoires add to the character. The staff was friendly, but you are forced to check in at the restaurant. Making eye contact with diners while filling out paperwork was a little weird but still a breeze. Very much enjoyed it here.
Dined at restaurant. Was very impressed with the food. It was awesome too say...blue ribbon eats. KUDOS TOO THE CHEF.. I SPECIALLY LOVED THE STUFFED MUSHROOMS... QIUET LUNCH WITH MY PARTNER. I WILL RECOMMEND THIS PLACE to my FRIENDS...CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF.
Irwin Street Inn is a real find! This Inn exudes historical charm is a very welcoming way. The decor is historically significant and kept within the Inn’s 1890s era. The woodwork is well kept. The rooms are open with windows and high ceilings that are quite inviting. The bed comfort and number of pillows needs improvement. The exterior needs some upkeep especially the roof. Having a comfortable side chair and bedside reading lamp are missing necessities. The clawfoot bathtub is unique as well as the pull-chain commode in the bathroom. The Restaurant under Chef Hussein is worth seeking out. Although I was in the area on business, I would make my way to this restaurant again to enjoy a meal. Over two days, several friends and I had the opportunity to order many dinner entrees and have an enjoyable breakfast. Chef Hussein has been crafting delicious meals for nearly 30 years and he never disappointed with the salmon, chicken or beef dishes. All were exceptional. They offer an Easter and Mother’s Day brunch. And the lady that does the pastries and desserts is gifted. Overall, if you are adventurous and enjoy historic Inns, this is a place near Fresno to enjoy. Ricky, the property manager will personally answer your phone calls and is especially accommodating to meet your requests on site. It is not an easy property for disabled individuals. Pets are most welcome. Highly recommended for the exceptional restaurant. A real historic Inn jewel.
What a charming and welcoming place! I came here for a business event that was held in their courtyard. It was a beautiful venue with dining services set up in an adjacent room and a bar that featured top shelf alcohol. The servers were gracious and accommodating, too.
Nice location - residential area, walkable. The Inn was very comfortable, great staff.
