The Santa Maria Inn is historic and very interesting. We stayed in the newer tower and found it to be quite comfortable and quiet. Of course, it is an original hotel of 1917 so there are issues of maintenance and upkeep that are not crisp as a newer property but it is a unique place to stay. There are multiple restaurants on site as well as a number of good restaurants within walking distance. If we had more than a short one night visit, we would have enjoyed the amenities available. There is plenty of parking. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We plan to stay again at our next opportunity

This is a really interesting and fun place to stay. Historic and vibey. Was there with my 7 yo, so the pool was fun. Also cool across the street is an old school steak house called Shaws, and a place called the Pantry for breakfast. For the price it was great ! little rough around some edges. but if your cool with that for all the other charms its cool.

The staff was unreal! Ive never encountered such pleasant and kind staff. I felt so welcomed upon arrival. My autistic toddler wanted a plastic easter egg on the counter and they had no issues letting him have one.....or two lol. They explained di ing options in the area and things to go see. Hotel was so peaceful and i will definitely be bringing my family back. Thank you for such an amazing 3 days!
