I like to stay at hotels which are "different", that are hotels I remember. This hotel is different. The room was nice and clean. The entire hotel was well decorated, and the food was good. Good service. And a hotel which I will remember since it is place with character!

My husband and I enjoyed our night in the newer "tower", section of the Santa Maria Inn. The whole Inn is very well maintained and decorated with lovely old furniture and decorative touches. Our room was large and the bed was great! The shower/tub had some repaired dings, but otherwise no negatives. The grounds were lbeautifully landscaped, and the complimentary... More

I'll admit I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. We stayed for one night as part of a big trip so parked in a nearly deserted undercover area (which looked like it was being used to store lamps) and went to check in. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful (we had trouble with our room keys and after... More

There isn't much to do in Santa Maria, although it is in California, but the Santa Maria Inn is definitely worth an overnight in this city. It is charming and historic, I have stayed overnight there five times and each time enjoyed it more than the previous stay. The bar/pub is great to have a late afternoon drink in, the... More

A very beautiful historic hotel with friendly staff, especially in reception. Accommodation in a first floor was not so good, Not safe feeling. Windows were loose as they had been open. I did not understand what caused the experience. Noise outside came through.

As my title indicates, I was searching for a dog-friendly, mid-way stop for our drive from San Francisco to San Diego.

Regarding dogs: One of the most expensive places to keep our dog, both relative to the cost of the room ($100, Priceline) and generally. The Santa Maria Inn is $50 per night for pets, the average I paid at the 6 hotels we visited while driving both the coast and inland was $25. The hotel is quite charming, but a... More

Thank you for your review! Our pet fee is actually a one-time $50.00 fee used to deep clean the room prior to your departure. We love having our guests travel with their animals and like to offer comfortable accommodations and ample grounds for walking and relaxing. We appreciate you taking the time to share your sentiments! More

We had driven up Hwy 1 and 101, and needed a place to stay headed from the desert back to Portland. Based on the reviews here, we decided to give the Inn a shot and we were NOT disappointed. Our room with two queen beds was almost 500 square feet. So spacial and clean, everything was very nice. The service... More
