Top Santa Maria Hotel Reviews

Historic Santa Maria Inn

Historic Santa Maria Inn

8/10 Good
"Historic hotel but pretty run down and in need of a refresh. I think they tried, like replacing the carpet with laminate flooring, but many parts of it were obviously dated. It was fun to walk around the lobby area to read the displays and learn about the hotel. Location is good, near lots of good restaurants and shopping. Across the street from the high school so I’m glad it’s summer and schools out, otherwise you would have to compete with school traffic."
