Hotel Hanford, Costa Mesa, California Review

This past summer I was sent on a training course by my company to Orange County, California. Initially I was not looking forward to this experience. Training courses can be long and very tedious, and judging by the rates of the hotel I wasn’t expecting much. However, even though my course was a little boring, I was completely blown away by the hotel’s amazing service and décor.

The Hotel Hanford is a fantastic boutique hotel in Costa Mesa and made for a really enjoyable stay. Here are the top 5 things I liked most about it:

• The Rates at this sleek hotel are really worth writing home about! Although I definitely felt like I was staying at a luxury hotel, the rates were very reasonable. Compared to the luxury chain hotels down the road, I really felt like I got a good deal.
• The Boutique atmosphere made the hotel have a much more unique and trendy appeal. The hotel’s designers had clearly put in a lot of effort to make this hotel a fashionable destination.
• The Service was spectacular. The staff was super friendly and remembered my name throughout my stay. I had a problem with my TV on my first day here, but the staff was extremely attentive and went about fixing it immediately.
• The Location was another highlight. The hotel is within walking distance to the famed South Coast Plaza (which boasts 250+ shops) and is a short drive away from top Orange County attractions such as Knott’s Berry Farm and Disneyland.
• The Restaurant served amazing and really original dishes like duck mac and cheese and there was also a large Californian wine list.

All in all, the Hotel Hanford made my training course that bit more endurable and served as a great place to unwind and take a break from my course. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and the hotel’s design was très chic. If I ever find myself back in Southern California, I will be sure to make a reservation here.
