What guests think
At Hanford House, guests highlight friendly, welcoming service, very clean rooms, and a central, walkable Sutter Creek location, with many enjoying the onsite Elements restaurant and the morning delivery of warm scones with coffee.
Rooms are often described as spacious and comfortable, with large bathrooms and good showers; some include patios or balconies. Repeated drawbacks include worn mattresses and the lack of an in-room fridge/microwave in standard rooms; a few noted occasional noise near the restaurant and isolated AC or maintenance issues. Most guests find the staff accommodating and responsive, though a few reported confusion around breakfast availability or vouchers. Expect a charming, walkable stay with thoughtful touches and a few room-amenity caveats.

This is a delightful small hotel. I stayed in room 10 which has a private patio area. I loved the warm pastries delivered to outside the room door at 7:30 am.

The room was beautiful and we were made to feel like VIPs with chocolates on our pillows, coffee service in the morning with fresh baked scones. The restaurant had delicious food at a reasonable price with great service. We’ll Be back!!

Don’t hesitate booking your room here! We absolutely loved our stay. From the easy check in to the scones delivered to your door at 7 am. The bed was very comfortable, rooms cozy and coffee/tea served on both floors. The attached restaurant is the best! Manager Sarah is so welcoming, and all the waitresses were attentive and darling. You just can’t go wrong here!

Front desk staff were super helpful when we couldn't work out the airconditioner. Loved that there were homemade cookies on arrival. (Wine also in the evening if you wanted.) Walkable, as right downtown, but still in a quiet area. So clean and comfy. Loved there was a unexpected outdoor patio. Went to breakfast at the onsite restaurant which was very yummy. Local told us about Gold Dust Pizza off the main strip and still walkable. Fabulous outdoor area and great pizza with no wait! Great stay! Thank you for having us!

The added morning delivery of fresh baked scones to your door with fresh coffee is such a well thought out addition. We will definitely stay here everytime we visit our family in Sutter Creek!

We have stayed in Room 10 the last three visits since 2020. Good size room, wonderful staff. The little extras have decreased over the years. The room needs some maintenance. The screen door is torn, one of hooks to hold back the blackout curtains is still barely hanging on. (Was the same a year ago.) The fireplace is out of order. Not huge projects but the touches that matter. Also more comfortable furniture for the patios would be nice or a least pads for the metal chairs. Again the little details. Last unfortunately is it’s time for a new mattress, I slept in a hole last night. We will of course come back. It’s just time to bring the place up to the level of expectation it’s known for.

My wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary in Sutter Creejk and we chose the Hanford House. Here is our experience: THE GOOD: Quiet, clean deluxe room with king bed. Comfortable bedding with heat unit and gas fireplace that either could be used. THE BAD: No dresser to put your clothes in and no refrigerator even though one was advertised. The clerk appeared to put the blame on Hotels.com. THE UGLY: We were told there would be no breakfast at the Element restaurant the next morning due to a previously reserved group event. Instead we were given a gift card to a coffee/pastry shop down the street. It was not a full breakfast place but we made do with what they had. The next morning we expected breakfast at the Element but when we entered the restaurant there was no staff present. Confused and angry at this development we protested to a staff member that did show up. She contacted her superior and we were told that we had the option of another gift card to the same coffee/pastry shop as before or we could take the $40 as a refund to our room cost. We opted for the refund. To their credit we did get an email of apology from the manager and an offer to discount a room in the future should we choose to return. That was our experience.

The size of the bathroom (huge) was a surprise! Enjoyed the shower, lots of room, shower bars, great towels. The scones in the AM, delicious as was the coffee available in the lobby. Restaurant connected to the building, excellent check for hours open. Everyone friendly, helpful, especially the receptionist working in the early morning and afternoon. Stayed on the first floor, stairs to the upper floor a challenge for cane users. Had a great time and would stay here again.

The staff were all excellent, above and beyond. Room was clean and functional. The location is perfect. The breakfast selection is great! The waffle is my favorite. The reasons for not giving a 5-star review: The show is odd. It has a wide overhead drip that tickled my bald head (not in a good way). There is an immbile glass enclosure covering half of the shower/tub. To turn the faucet on you must go around it and stand in the tub. The arrangement is just odd. If you have to leave shampoo in your hair for a time, you'll have to lean oddly to avoid getting it washed out too soon. The mattress was quite worn, with a pronounced bulge along the center. There is no ref/microwave in the rooms. Only in the larger cabins. So be prepared in case you bring leftovers home.

The room was GORGEOUS but we would probably not come back because of the very noisy lobby which was connected to the restaurant. A loud party was literally ten feet from our room for several hours. Any other hotel would not have this happening. We wanted a quiet one night romantic getaway - yelling and partying outside our door, even in as early as 8:45pm, was not what we pictured.

Walkable, as right downtown, but still in a quiet area. So clean and comfy. Loved there was a unexpected outdoor patio. Went to breakfast at the onsite restaurant which was very yummy. Local told us about Gold Dust Pizza off the main strip and still walkable. Fabulous outdoor area and great pizza with no wait! Great stay! Thank you for having us!

Front desk staff were super helpful when we couldn't work out the airconditioner. Loved that there were homemade cookies on arrival. (Wine also in the evening if you wanted.) Walkable, as right downtown, but still in a quiet area. So clean and comfy. Loved there was a unexpected outdoor patio. Went to breakfast at the onsite restaurant which was very yummy. Local told us about Gold Dust Pizza off the main strip and still walkable. Fabulous outdoor area and great pizza with no wait! Great stay! Thank you for having us!

It was perfect for what we wanted and they even have coffee service available at 7am and warm lemon scones delivered to our front door at 7:30am. Choice of 4 options for breakfast M-F that we choose night before. Loved that we could walk to town for dinner and it was very quiet. Slept so well on the comfortable bed and pillow!

My wife and I decided to celebrate our anniversary in Sutter Creejk and we chose the Hanford House. Here is our experience: THE GOOD: Quiet, clean deluxe room with king bed. Comfortable bedding with heat unit and gas fireplace that either could be used. THE BAD: No dresser to put your clothes in and no refrigerator even though one was advertised. The clerk appeared to put the blame on Hotels.com. THE UGLY: We were told there would be no breakfast at the Element restaurant the next morning due to a previously reserved group event. Instead we were given a gift card to a coffee/pastry shop down the street. It was not a full breakfast place but we made do with what they had. The next morning we expected breakfast at the Element but when we entered the restaurant there was no staff present. Confused and angry at this development we protested to a staff member that did show up. She contacted her superior and we were told that we had the option of another gift card to the same coffee/pastry shop as before or we could take the $40 as a refund to our room cost. We opted for the refund. To their credit we did get an email of apology from the manager and an offer to discount a room in the future should we choose to return. That was our experience.

We loved our stay at The Hanford House. The rooms are very nice, clean and beautiful. The beds and pillows are super comfortable. The added morning delivery of fresh baked scones to your door with fresh coffee is such a well thought out addition. We will definitely stay here everytime we visit our family in Sutter Creek!

Love this Hotel. Excellent staff & service. Great restaurant. Love the location in my favorite little town of Sutter Creek. Great shops & places to eat steps away, as well as great wine tasting in the shenandoah wine country nearby. :)
