Inn At Harris Ranch, Coalinga

I travel frequently for the government and I have stayed at Harris Ranch frequently. The hotel is a getting old, so you can't compair it to some of the new hotels; however, a benefit of the age is the great gardens and architecture features (tile roofs, very large heated pool, ect.). Two resturaunts and a lounge are on site. Best of all-I found the employees in both the hotel and resturaunts to be friendly and provide great service.

Despite what was said by evenal, Harris Ranch is not surrounded by barren wasteland. The land of Central Valley grows 80% of the WORLD'S food. If you drive down the road a little more, you will seen vast amounts farmland and almond trees. And that smell is the biggest cattle ranch in the State of California a few miles north. Now that we have the facts straight, the service at the restaurant is always wonderful. The helpful servers are always there to fill your glass or clear away an empty plate. The rooms are clean and bright. They have a lot of natural light, and are not too far away from one of three jaccuzis on the premises. I have stayed there a few times, and plan to hold my wedding reception there in June in their newly renovated ballroom.

This is not the rate of the hotel. Harris Ranch does not have any affiliation with any travel websites. You can go to their site and book a room. WWW.Harrisranch.com please come by and have a look

Every morning you wake up to he pleasant smell of crap being spread over endless miles of barren wasteland. The room was not ready on time. When I got my room it was not what I requested and had gawping holes in the plaster by the bath tub. It is in the middle of no ware California, I mean it you need to drive at least an hour to find any thing other than cotton fields.The meals are extremely over priced for what you get (hamburger, no cheese =$15-16). To top it off their Internet connection is hardly a connection at all. It hardly had a signal and faded in and out the entire time during my stay. Besides the outrageous prices and poor location, the security guards are little nazis. I decided to drive down the dirt road behind the inn and they called the local authorizes to harass me for trespassing in the middle of the night in the freezing cold (mean while I was a few steps away from my room which I was staying). Not happy with the Harris ranch not happy at all!

The absolute best place to stay in Central california. I have been staying there for more than a decade. The rooms are very comfortable and it is sparkling clean. They always provide fantastic service. The food is excellent too.

The amenities are wonderful, nice clean sparkling pool & jacuzzi. The rooms are clean and decorated very tastefully, the beds(the rooms with the pillowtop mattress') are more comfortable than being at home. We like the fact that each room has an A/C unit that actually works so that we can obtain our obpimal temp for comfort. The grounds are impecibally maintained. The Steak House while a little pricy is worth every penney. You can literally cut the steak with a fork, the flavor and tenderness is comparable to none. All in all it's a piece of heaven in Central California.

Last time we stayed there was lipstick on the drinking glass and it looked as if the room had been used and straighten up. We notified the manager and he discounted the room, but we'll bring our own paper cups next time.

This is one of the best kept secrets on the Interstate 5. You must stay here to enjoy the ambiance of the rooms, hotel staff, food is wonderful, especially eating in the dining room, not the coffee shop when you stay here. Lovely rooms, great gift shop, and the staff is always very pleasant. We have stayed here for over 18 years, and probably 40 times. I love it, you will too!

Our room was spacious, the pool and jacuzzi were excellent after being in the car all day. The restaurant was very overpriced though. I recommend eating elsewhere.

We think the location is pretty special. Lovely facility, (especially pool area) however, after going several times over the years there has been a pattern of errors made in food that is ordered, even in the higher priced steak restaurant. My husband ordered an end cut prime rib with scallops. It came back as a regular cut with shrimp. I think it is the waiter's responsibility to make sure it is presented as ordered even if the kitchen made the mistake. We then had to wait for another order to be placed. Had a similar problem last year and also with breakfast last year as well. I'd like to see the steak salad on that menu as well. It's only in the other one. I think they should also offer something with less than 3 eggs. Not even an egg sandwich! The waiter was kind enough for me to order a child's entree. I also want to mention that I find the rooms terribly dark. Although we did not need a 3 star accommodation, I find it strange that any room not have an iron and ironing board. Please improve upon that if nothing else. Thank you kindly.
