Good stay and very easy to access. I was only there one night but it the desk host was quick, helpful and efficient. The room was very clean and everything worked as expected. It is also quiet with good insulation.

All that glitters is not always gold

Pros: The buffet
Cons: See above review
Location: The location was close to the HI way and very nice on the outside, as far as doing anything in town we just wanted to get away and relax.
When we arrived the Hotel was very nice on the outside but once in the room and after laying on the bed for only 10 minutes are so it was obvious the mattress was somewhat aged because it was very lumpy ? I guess no one was aware of the fact that a mattress would last longer and be more comfortable when it is rotated and flipped over from time to time ? The following morning I went down to get a mocha coffee extra strong in the hotel lobby but received the equivalent of flavored hot water. But I did also enjoy some biscuits and gravy that was some of the best I have ever enjoyed. I was told the restaurant next door provided the food that was being served. I will give the Best Western in Santa Maria another chance and hope the next room will be furnished with a better bed. Most people may never have been disappointed but after having 3 back surgeries a lumpy bed is never conducive for having a good nights sleep.
