Carpet was very dirty and was a non smoke room however it smells like cigarettes the entire room. Towels were only 3 they should pack with towels since families can be bigger in number. Definitely needs an upgrade ASAP. Needs remodeling !! It was ok our stay the staff could be more helpful offer breakfast times on the sheet in each room and times.

Going downhill?

Front desk and restaurant service was terrible. Restaurant food was ok. I have stayed at the Santa Maria Inn multiple times and this last stay was the worst. The hotel is clean and a lovely historic place but their service leaves something to be desired. They also had room service in the past but not anymore! Maybe it’s going downhill which is sad.

Awesome Stay

Have been staying at the old side of the Santa Maria Inn a few times now. We love the nostalgic feel from back in the day. Very well preserved. Clean vintage rooms. We had asked for a room with a view of their beautiful garden and were placed in one that didn’t really accommodate that. But upon request we were very politely upgraded to one of their executive suites. That made our experience so much better. We appreciate the staff going above and beyond to meet our needs and requests. As always be polite to the staff and they will reciprocate back.
