Hotel Santa Maria is a great budget option for being close to the action but not paying a ton for the privilege. The beach is a 10 minute walk. The brand new Al Comer super market complex is just across the street and has more than you will ever need. There are numerous small restaurants within a three minute walk. The pool is clean spacious and welcoming. Overall a good deal. My only criticism would be that screens on the patio doors would be an improvement and the coffee at the breakfast room needs an upgrade.

No elevators, no hand rails on rather steep stairs to upper floors and even two very tall steps with no hand rails to enter reception from street, no English T V stations, very noisy if you have a room facing the street. This is a terrible hotel especially for older people which I am one of. you should consider reinbursing me my money for the misery I went through and taking this off your web site

It needs serious updating. We had a kitchenette but no supplies at all. Cupboards bare, no cutlery, dishes etc. we had to ask at the office for everything. Pool had a leak so they were constantly refilling with cold water. Fridge held together with duct tape. Microwave was unusable as the coating on the inside was coming off. The only good thing about this hotel was the comfortable bed. We will not return

We stayed there 1 night prior to a flight the next day ( after a 4 week stay at our timeshare in Cabo del Sol). The hotel was adjacent to a 24/7 highway construction site so it was noisy & dusty.
The check in staff were friendly. The room supplies were minimalist barebones. The bed nonetheless was very comfortable.

We have stayed at Santa Maria three times now, and have another night stay planned. It is an older hotel, well worn in a lot of ways but is clean and suites most of our needs. The close proximity to transportation and restaurants works well for our trips and the included breakfasts work for us too.
This time while booking our trip I accidentally said there was only one guest. I emailed the hotel to correct this, however when we arrived they told us we would have to pay for one of the breakfasts, even though they acknowledged that we had corrected the original mistake. This seemed odd and uncomfortable and an unusual place to make a stand. The included breakfasts are one of the reasons we choose this hotel.
There is also a large construction project next door. People should be aware of this.

Great location, easy parking, great pool, awesome internet. Breakfast was great.
The staff is very friendly and professional.

Things to improve..
We had a suite with kitchen not a single utensil, pan, glassware, we were exhausted to ask for anything but makes no sense to have nothing.

The breakfast coupon to be collected each morning at the reception makes no sense whatsoever, what a waste of our time. Just give them out at check in.

Excellent for a place to sleep and rest after hitting the waves, would stay here again.

We stay here often for one night stays. We’re expats living in Mexico and our home is not close to town. We stay for shopping trips or prior to airport departures. The hotel is basic by international standards, however, the rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The self parking is great, many good walkable restaurants and stores. Downside is no elevators with three stories. Pool is nice, great little restaurant for included breakfast.

We booked a room with kitchen and refrigerator. We were given room 508 which only had a mini fridge. We could hardly fit a few bottles of water. The space for the full size fridge was empty just vacant space. The kitchen had nothing! No plates no utensils no glasses. We had to beg for two plates two forks and and two cereal bowls and had to buy knives and a frying pan from Walmart. The towels were so dirty , again I had to go buy from Walmart. Big mistake to choose this place. The only one that ever smiled was the cleaning lady every one else hardly showed any interest or cared. The so called breakfast is awful except for the coffee. Same overcooked scrambled eggs served cold, a bowl of granola with 3-4 tablespoons in it. There is massive construction and noise and dust a few meters away from the pool. Never had such a bad experience and we come to Baja a lot.

In general terms the hotel is nice, fulfills needs and has a good location.

Front desk are young and needs training to learn and understand how to treat, deal and offer solutions in a professional and respectful way with costumers.

Cleaning ladies made the difference. Always helpful and doing her job great.

Restaurant offers a good quality and abundant breakfast. Every dish was tasty and well executed.

Rooms could be better if furnitures are renewed soon.
The hinge of our window was broken so we didn’t tried to open it a second time.

Flat screen has good size and it’s a recent model. Good conectivity.

We really enjoyed the breakfast included with the room. It had nice traditional Mexican options as well as pancakes etc. We were a bit dissatisfied that there was nothing in the kitchenette to cook or eat with. Seemed pointless to have paid extra for the kitchenette if we could not even use it but there were many dining options nearby. The pool was also being redone when we were there and we weren't made aware of this at the time of booking and was one main reason for us booking there but I think that's not the fault of the hotel to tell us as we had booked through Expedia. Plus side is that they will now have a beautiful new pool. So if travelling soon call ahead to make sure it's completed if you want a pool. We would definitely stay here again. We chose this location/hotel for the secure parking and easy to find from the airport after dark. Staying downtown the parking can be more challenging and the streets a bit more confusing after dark.

This hotel was charming and in a good location. The supermarket across the street was convenient for beverages and also has some fast dining options. The breakfast was nice and included juice and coffee.

The only thing that was not as described was the presence of a hot tub . The swimming pool was very cold, so it was hard to be in it for long.

There was never hot water. The bed was not very comfortable. Breakfast was aways the same thing, and never expect it to be hot or even warm. The pool was freezing cold, but nice to lounge around in the afternoon. Very nice to have a grocery store across the street, Though they may have some English speaking channels on tv but no. Can’t say it was a total bust but a very low class facility for the price I paid for the week,

Overall stay was pretty good. The walls are very thin so we could hear all the other doors slamming in the complex, and traffic was extremely loud. Breakfast is average for what you’d get out of a hotel. Pool is good, with chairs around for sun tanning. We did see quite a few of very small ant like bugs throughout the room, but not so much that we were concerned. Don’t know that we’d be eager to book again, but would recommend considering it if the price fits your budget.

Room including bathroom was huge☺️TV had some issues and just listened to the music on 945. When time to leave, they wouldn’t call us a cab?!?!

I wanted to like it

Ok so it’s a budget hotel, which I expected. I didn’t expect it to be perfect as I was staying one night and paying for a three star place at best. There are a few things that all hotels should have, hot water and a clean room. I have traveled the world on business and pleasure so my expectations were fully aligned.

The hotel was certainly dated, which for the price was expected. The room was mostly clean, the bathroom was a little questionable from a cleanly standpoint. Seemed like they just put new towels in the room from the last guest. The shower didn’t have hot water for about 10 mins and water pressure was really weak. As a full time traveler living on a sailboat, when I say the water pressure is weak I mean it.

Pros:
1) The price was great, not the cheapest in Cabo but location was good.
2) No signs if bugs
3) Room had a fridge and microwave

Cons
1) No hot water and water pressure was so bad I wondered if my unit had an issue.
2) Went for free continental breakfast (just wanted a coffee) and as I walked in was greeted that I needed a ticket. She was rude and told me I had to leave. They don’t mention it when I checked in, or why didn’t they just give it to me. I just left as I figured if they were that rude it couldn’t be that good anyway. Asked about ticket when I checked out and they asked if I would like one :) Poor experience for sure.
3) Room was really dated, lots of songs, paint coming off walls, ceiling tiles ajar.

We like staying at the Santa Maria hotel and do so often. This visit two pillows were missing pillow cases and garbage from the prior guest was still in one trash can.
