Tachi Palace is a tremendous value if you happen to be in the area, but the area itself isn't much of a destination. I stayed there in Kings county two nights on business in rural parts of both Fresno and Tulare counties. It's about 25 minutes east of Hwy 5-roughly 1/3 of the way between SF and LA. It's not really in Lemoore proper, but on the Reservation 10 minutes south: not much dining or other options, and I wasn't up for casino food.
The rooms are spacious, clean, and well appointed. Staff was friendly and helpful. The casino has a separate entrance, so if that's not your thing, totally avoidable. There's a little coffee bar and small bar in the hotel, too.
The pool is resort style, very large and clean, with plenty of lounge space around it. I tried to do laps, but it was an odd shape. Would be great for kids with lots of jets, sprinkler type things and fun obstacles if they needed to work out road wiggles. It was around 100 degrees during my stay, so necessary.
Tachi consistently has the lowest rates around the area...much less than any chain hotels. If you happen to be driving through, it might be worth a detour for cheap comfort. Fresno-1 hr, Visalia-40 min, Sequoia Park 2 hrs.
