The Sequoia Inn, located on Mall Drive in Hanford, and has been around since 1997, got a new facelift of sorts as its owners, the Tachi-Yokut Tribe held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday to unveil the renovated hotel.

The Tachi-Yokut Tribal Chairman Leo Sisco and Tachi Palace General Manager Michael Olujic had the honor of cutting the ribbon, along with other Tribal Council members and Sequoia Inn associates.

The Sequoia Inn, sort of a fixture at 1655 Mall Drive opened in 1997 and was purchased by the Tachi-Yokut Tribe in 2005. It’s only about 15 minutes north of the Tachi Palace Casino Resort.

The improvements, say Tachi officials, mark the first full renovation of the hotel since 2011. Each of the 56 rooms has been redecorated with fresh carpet, paint, and new, stylish wood furniture. Flat-screen 56-inch televisions, as well as state-of-the-art alarm clocks with USB charging ports, have also been added to every room. Other in-room amenities include refrigerators, microwaves, and coffee makers. Lighting has been added inside and outside of the property, and the front desk reception area has also been revamped.

“We are proud to celebrate the renewal of The Sequoia Inn,” said Tribal Chairman Sisco. “The timing of this reopening is perfect, as travel resumes, we know our patrons and other guests will thoroughly enjoy their stay at this beautiful property.”

The pet-friendly, non-smoking Sequoia Inn offers free parking, free internet, as well as complimentary coffee to all guests. The hotel also features an outdoor pool and spa, exercise room, conference room, and coin-operated laundry facilities.
