The room was clean and well appointed. Good size and comfortable. It was quiet except Saturday night when multiple weeding guests in the hotel decided to talk in the hallway. The pool was nice and well maintained. Parking was difficult at night. I had to park on the top of the parking structure Saturday Likly due to the wedding guests. Love the rich character of the property and the lobby.

The property was very well kept and clean but what really stood out was the decor in the lobby areas that harken back to the glory days of years ago. This gave the hotel a unique charm. The room was also spacious and very comfortable. And I got it for a really good rate. I was very impressed with the entire experience.

The Santa Maria Historical Inn is beautifully maintained and a lovely retreat to enjoy, our room was on the 1st floor and we enjoyed the view of the patio and lovely garden area with a water fall. The antique room was cozy and comfortable. There are many areas to enjoy sitting in a quiet atmosphere. Staff is friendly and helpful, we will definitely come back another time!
