We called for a late check in, and the person on the phone was very pleasant. At check in that night the young man at the front desk was very personable and helpful. However, we were unfortunately woken in the morning by banging and loud voices. So much so that we thought that someone must be in trouble. It turned... More

Got a great deal on a travel website so we decided to drive down for one night...what the heck! Santa Maria doesn't have a whole lot going for it travel-wise but I wouldn't hesitate to stay in this hotel again. The grounds were attractive and it was fun reading the names of the stars who stayed there in Hollywood's heyday... More

When I looked at the room, I was hoping no bed bugs, and guess what, no bed bugs, which is a good thing. I wish the price would have been $50 or less, but we needed a place to stay, so we said OK to $75. Bed was a little hard but we got a nights sleep. Shower was hot,... More

WOW! Thank you for your reply! As we would expect, no bugs in the room, and we appreciate you writing to that effect. While we do not offer rates near your target mark, we are happy you were able to see the value in your discounted room rate. We appreciate your business and hope you can return to the Inn. More

Rooms were quaint but small. I know it has a lot of history, yet for the price I would prefer more amenities like breakfast, and less history.

I make many trips to Santa Maria, Ca area to see friends and family members of friends. I wouldn't stay anywhere else within 30 miles of the Historical Santa Maria Inn. I can't say enough nice things about it. First of all, the atmosphere is so comfortable, classy and friendly. Each time I go, I have been treated with respect... More

I have been coming to this Hotel for Business for over 10 years. Love my rooms. I have found that the Hotel staff are the best. I have needed things that are over and beyound and they are there to help. I love staying in the older rooms not the tower. They have so much charm. Great food, good drinks.

We stayed here on our roundtrip between san francisco an san diego. The hotel is quite big. We booked by priceline and asked for a tower room, because we read in reviews that this were the most spacious rooms. It was possible but we had to pay an additional 20 dollars because the rooms in the towers are more expensive.... More

We made a quick trip to Santa Maria to see a production at PCPA's Theaterfest. I have always wanted to try this hotel so we decided to reserve for one night. The room was nice, clean, but a little small. For the price, and no "free" breakfast it was a little disappointing compared to other places we have stayed. The... More
