It's really a great place, and the rates are terrific for what they offer. My bed was okay, but not the best. I think the most important thing about any hotel besides being cleaned is to have a good bed and good pillows

Horrible experience at this hotel. When we checked in the guy was rude. I went to complain that someone was running in the hallway and knocking on the door. He was rude and said he couldn’t do anything about and maybe we should stay at a different hotel. I will never stay here again.

We enjoyed the historic nature of the entire hotel, from the extra roomy guest room to the antique decor throughout. The staff was extra-friendly and helpful. As the hotel sits on a busy street, there a fair amount of traffic noise during the day, but it all ended after 8 pm and was very quiet through the night. Food in the area was good - we didn’t try the hotel restaurant but definitely would on another stay. Big thumbs-up for a stopover or multi-night stay!

I love the Santa Maria Inn. In addition to being a really nice elegant hotel, the following are really high points for the area: convenient to tons of dining options, their own restaurant and just ordering at the bar is a great option; staff are very good ambassadors of a fine tradition; the rooms are spectacular. And Santa Maria is central to so much on the Central coast
