My stay was great! Liked my hotel room. Had dinner at the restaurant and enjoyed it!! 2 things I didn’t like - The elevator and the room between the front desk and the restaurant smell horrible!! Other that that I would stay at the hotel again and tell my friends to stay there too when they’re in Santa Maria!

The old section is run down. It was noisy and smelled. The room was very small. I felt like it was a Motel “6”. On the sight it showed the newer rooms, but we got something very different. False advertisement. Bait and switch! Not happy. Won’t stay there again.
