This is an interesting property to stay at if you like an old world feel. Staff are excellent. The room is very spacious, comfortable and clean. I enjoyed my stay. One negative is that no breakfast is available at the hotel.

We stay in Santa Maria quite a bit, but this was our first time at the Historic Santa Maria Inn. The hotel is so beautiful and we appreciate how difficult and expensive it is to maintain an historic building. We stayed in a suite. The jacuzzi tub was obviously a modernization that was amazing. But what we really loved was the antique furniture, curtains and overall decor. The balcony with a table and chairs was perfect! The fact that the room also had a mini fridge was also lovely. We had pretzel bites and glasses of wine at the bar for happy hour. GREAT deal, especially since there was also FREE popcorn. Later that evening we enjoyed an Irish coffee and an espresso martini...the BEST I've ever had. Thank you, Tim, the bartender. I really hope I remembered his name correctly! We enjoyed these cocktails by the fireplace just outside with restaurant with our 11 pound, very well behaved, Chihuahua mix. My husband and I will return with our pup, but we will stay longer so we can dine at one of the restaurants in the hotel.

Impressive, especially for the price. My daughter and I checked in around 11:30 p.m. for a short overnight stop while traveling to visit family. We were greeted with a wonderful, gracious welcome and quick registration. We had a room on the fifth floor with a view from the bay window over the pool. This historic hotel is worth seeing even if you didn't stay there, but the stay was clean, comfortable, and quiet. My only regret was that we couldn't stay longer to also enjoy the onsite restaurant. I highly recommend it.

It feels like home . Staff is the very best. Starting at the front desk with Ms Kate who is wonderful in knowledge, customer service skills, and friendliness !!!! The staff at the restaurant are awesome and the food is amazing. I love the bar as well . Great atmosphere and bartenders are top notch in both preparing drinks and carisma . I’ve stayed there many times and not once have I been disappointed in the least bit !!!

Beautiful hotel lobby and area. Room and bathroom were super clean. Their rates were amazing! Everyone was very helpful, courteous and friendly. The only issue I heard of from my family was the pool was dirty. Fun fact is that many of the old Hollywood stars stayed there, although I did not know that at booking. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Amer • Family Trip

Great value for the money, the rooms were spacious, especially the suites … bathroom was clean and there was an extra vanity sink outside the bathroom for multiple family members to get ready. The history was also appreciated where multiple Hollywood states stayed there so that was a cool historic touch. A little dated, but not anything that would concern me because the price point was perfect.
