We were only there for one night. I rented two rooms as I was traveling with family. The hotel was very clean, quiet and modernized with keeping the historic charm. The bartender in the lounge area was very slow and ignored several people, but we talked to the hotel manager and he was very responsive and friendly and helped us to get our bill paid. It would have been nice to be put next to our family although I didn’t mention it when booking, assuming they would. I would recommend this hotel and definitely stay here again if in the area. Blinds were missing some pull rods and one room didn’t have the sheets. There happened to be a car show that night which was pretty cool.

Carpet and furnitures are old. Decoration is more in the 1970s and a few pieces were scuffed up. No microwave available. Security frm the outside doors need to be enforced. They were unlocked all night. Parking is easy. Breakfast was good providing many options. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

I stayed there for three nights as I was in town for the Central Coast Airfest. Very nice looking lobby and they a restaurant and a pub as well. I ran into a couple of issues with the plumbing, but the maintenance person was on it as soon as he came by. The guest services phone number was not connected so I had to call the main hotel number to report the issue with the plumbing. The historic building can be a bit of a maze and I had to traverse about 3 corridors to get to the room, but hey, it's part of the experience some history. The front desk staff were very nice and are available 24/7. I would stay here again if I'm in town.

Upon entering the Inn we were promptly greeted and checked into our room. Our room was both spacious, comfortable and very clean. We look forward to future visits at this property. There is a wide variety of dining and shopping options all within a short distance to a couple of miles. It has become a new favorite destination for our family & friends

I had a great weekend stay here during the Central Coast Airfest. The hotel is old but it is really clean and well kept. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Like I said, it’s old so it’s a bit loud, especially rooms fronting the street. The rooms are large and comfortable with a fridge and coffee maker. A small microwave would make a nice addition. All in all, the Historic Santa Maria Inn is a great place to stay.

Older historic property. Narrow halls but spacious and updated rooms with lots of room. Lobby, hallways and sitting areas are quant and packed with historical items and regal furnishings. Only grip is not having designated parking for check in. There is a tiered parking structure close to the property.

Santa Maria’s Best Hotel

We love coming here because it’s such a charming and historic place. A lot of movie stars slept here and noted with stars and their names on the doors. The furnishings are from that era. The restaurant has great food and ambiance. Cloth tables, fine linen, glassware and table ware. The rooms have all been update but kept with original Look.

A Quick Visit To the Past

This hotel has a rustic, historic feel about it. From the turnstile entrance doors to the musty air that hits you upon entering, one immediately knows that this hotel stay is going to be an EXPERIENCE and not just a basic stay. The Front Desk check-in clerk was very efficient and polite. She answered our questions and had us on our way in no time. Our check-out clerk was just as professional and kind, as well. The decor and architecture of this hotel is amazing and truly takes you back to an earlier time period. We loved staying here because just being inside instantly transported us to another time when things were simpler and not as busy as these days. This was our first time here and next time we need to stay in Santa Maria, we will definitely book out room here again.
