We had a reservation for two rooms, but the front desk clerk could only find one. She immediately blamed Expedia. When I pulled up my confirmation and receipt from Expedia showing two rooms, she still said the problem was because I used Expedia as a third party vendor and had I booked direct it would not be a problem. I asked, several times, if the second reservation could be under my daughter’s name. I gave her the name at least twice and she said it wasn’t there. Finally a manager stepped in to assist. At first she also said we only made a reservation for one room. When I asked for a third time if they looked under my daughter’s name, they finally found the reservation.

One of our room’s television did not connect to cable. The front desk sent staff to the room to repair. The person they sent was security and he was unable to fix the communication problem. When we checked out the next morning, I reported the issue and asked that they discount the room as a working television is an assumed guest amenity. The clerk seemed uninterested and told me there was nothing he could do. I asked another clerk that was behind the desk and she was even less interested in our problem and said the hotel didn’t discount rooms.

Manager Emma and her front desk staff are all five stars.
The room was clean but shabby and the bed was unfortunately very uncomfortable.

There are almost no outlets to plug devices into and the furniture was Goodwill level.

Not good value at the high price - the a/c wasn’t working properly and everything needs redoing.

We stay in Santa Maria quite a bit, but this was our first time at the Historic Santa Maria Inn. The hotel is so beautiful and we appreciate how difficult and expensive it is to maintain an historic building. We stayed in a suite. The jacuzzi tub was obviously a modernization that was amazing. But what we really loved was the antique furniture, curtains and overall decor. The balcony with a table and chairs was perfect! The fact that the room also had a mini fridge was also lovely. We had pretzel bites and glasses of wine at the bar for happy hour. GREAT deal, especially since there was also FREE popcorn. Later that evening we enjoyed an Irish coffee and an espresso martini...the BEST I've ever had. Thank you, Tim, the bartender. I really hope I remembered his name correctly! We enjoyed these cocktails by the fireplace just outside with restaurant with our 11 pound, very well behaved, Chihuahua mix. My husband and I will return with our pup, but we will stay longer so we can dine at one of the restaurants in the hotel.

Impressive, especially for the price. My daughter and I checked in around 11:30 p.m. for a short overnight stop while traveling to visit family. We were greeted with a wonderful, gracious welcome and quick registration. We had a room on the fifth floor with a view from the bay window over the pool. This historic hotel is worth seeing even if you didn't stay there, but the stay was clean, comfortable, and quiet. My only regret was that we couldn't stay longer to also enjoy the onsite restaurant. I highly recommend it.

I am very disappointed with my stay at this hotel.

I booked a two-night stay and checked in late at midnight. After a long day out, we discovered the toilet in our room was not working. The front desk agreed to change our room, but we had to wait nearly an hour, which was very tiring after a long day.

Unfortunately, the second room also had the same toilet problem the next morning. I called for maintenance and waited almost an hour with no response, so I went downstairs to request another room. I was told no room change was possible because I booked through a third-party site.

When I asked to speak with a manager, I was told none was available and the supervisor would only be in at 3 PM. I was simply given a phone number to call myself, and had to wait on hold for a long time.

Eventually, someone came to fix the issue, but I had already lost most of my morning and it disrupted my travel plans significantly.

Overall, the experience was frustrating due to repeated room issues and poor customer service. I would not recommend this hotel.

Upon our arrival the staff were nice and helpful, once we got our room we checked our beds to make sure we didn’t find any type of bugs, unfortunately, we ended up finding these strange tiny worms on the beds and we let the staff know right away. Fortunately, they managed to find a room for us and we got upgraded to a suite which was really nice and clean. Our stay was good except the whole worm situation. That was the only down side and it was also our first time at the Santa Maria Historic Inn, my only concern is that the staff need to double check the beds and clean them properly before hand.

We stayed in the old portion of this 1917 hotel. It is very unique and has a lot of history. The wood decor was beautiful throughout the hotel and although we didn't eat at the restaurant or bar, they looked very nice. The hallways to the rooms need some paint. As for the rooms, there were stars names on the doors where they had previously stayed. We had the executive suite (Gloria Swanson room) which was quiet and roomy and had a jacuzzi tub. We had a private balcony that was secluded and comfy. The room could stand having some upgrades done to the bathroom as some of the fixtures were showing some calcium buildup. It looks like they are working on upgrading some of the rooms as there was some construction being done on Thursday & Friday. The only downside was at the front desk. Check in was at 3:00. We got there at 2:30 and was told we have to wait 20 minutes. They could not check us in early unless we paid an extra $30.

We stayed there 26 years ago. It was an anniversary, it was supposed to be nostalgic for us. It's much different now. The place is run-down, and everything was old, furniture was filthy, and it would be furniture that should be put on the curb. It saddened me because they call it Historical, and it is, but not in a good way. They lock up the lobby bathroom at 10 pm. Many older ppl stay there. I am one of them. It was agitating to the young white girl at the front desk that I requested use of the bathroom, then security came, and I was interrogated as if I had done something wrong for asking. I'm from this town and have stayed many times before; however, I will not return for a stay anytime in the future. Most of the staff at the front desk were courteous. All latinas. I give this place a 3 on a scale of 1-10

Enjoy the wine cellar downstairs (there is an elevator too).

I was very disappointed with our stay. The hotel looked nothing like the photos online. We booked a Junior Suite expecting the sofa to convert into a sofa bed, but it did not, making the extra space essentially useless for our needs.
The room felt very outdated, and the furniture was dirty with dust throughout the room. Overall, the property looked and felt more like a 2-star hotel than what was advertised. And there was no usable pool. For the price we paid, ($900 for 3 nights) we expected a much cleaner and better-maintained room.
The only positive part of our stay was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, courteous, and helpful.
Unfortunately, because of the condition of the hotel, I would not stay here again or recommend it.

Great value for the money, the rooms were spacious, especially the suites … bathroom was clean and there was an extra vanity sink outside the bathroom for multiple family members to get ready.
The history was also appreciated where multiple Hollywood states stayed there so that was a cool historic touch. A little dated, but not anything that would concern me because the price point was perfect.

After checking in we entered the room and immediately noticed a bug on the pillow. I quickly took a photo of it and we left the room as it was a bedbug. We went back downstairs to talk to the girls at the front and after telling them one of the workers proceeded to laugh while another offered to switch us rooms. I told them I would like a refund and they told me I would have to contact Expedia. I do NOT recommend staying here.

I had a very disappointing experience staying at this hotel.

First, the rooms were extremely small, and the so-called queen-size bed was noticeably smaller than a standard queen bed. The hotel was also very noisy throughout my stay.

On the second night, the hotel hosted a wedding in the courtyard. The music was extremely loud and continued late into the evening. No one informed us in advance that a wedding event would be taking place during our stay. Had we been notified, we could have decided whether we were willing to accept that level of noise or make other arrangements. Instead, guests were left with no choice but to endure the disturbance.

The music continued until around 11:00 p.m., at which point I had to go to the front desk and complain. I also requested a different room, but my request was denied. I felt that the hotel showed little consideration for the comfort and experience of its guests.

In addition, the hotel's phone system was not functioning properly. Two days before my arrival, I repeatedly tried calling the hotel's main number (ending in 7777), but after ringing several times, the calls would disconnect. I reported this issue to the front desk and even demonstrated the problem in person, yet it remained unresolved.

The front desk staff were also very slow in assisting guests, which added to the frustration.

Overall, my experience was far below expectations. Between the small rooms, excessive noise, poor communication, unresponsive phone system

The grounds of this property are very pretty and I do know that this is a historic hotel but the inside is disgusting at least the old part. I don’t know about the other side, but we stayed in the old part hallways are gross. The smell because it’s so old is extremely damp and it smells like stagnant water the room or bathroom I should say is horrible. The top part of our pedestal sink was actually falling off it’s broken and detached and they just set it on top very old very smelly. You can maintain history and still do improvements and they need too bad. I’ll never stay here again. Also, two people checking you in the line was through the entire waiting area and out the front doors.

Room is spacious...and clean... Not sure about the shampoo and conditioner supplies..only enough for one or two persons for one night. We stayed for two nights.. property does have that vintage feel which is a welcomed sight in a way.

The first room we were put in the fridge didn't work. I own 3 air bnbs that I rent out. I did not mention to the staff I was handicapped and would have preferred a room closer to the parking lot. We could not get an early check in unless we paid 20$ which check in was 3pm we arrived at 2pm. We chose to go to the bar instead and spend our money there. Then no ice machine on that entire side of the hotel, when we switched rooms walked back to new room and key didn't work. Back to front desk had to stand in the line again, only 1 person at the front desk for a probably 100+ room hotel . We were late to the graduation we were there for so we didn't get to see much of that or watch a loved one walk. Things in the hotel air bnb business happen. I'm only writing about my experience to hopefully improve on this hotel's service problems. As for ice machine, really no excuse for that issue. I'm gonna bet it still has not been addressed. All n all I would stay again because of vacation and some of the amenities that actually are functioning.

I need someone to call me asap at 805-674-0752. We checked in on Friday, 6/19/26 at approximately 10:30pm and checked out at approximately 11:45pm. In that hour and fifteen minutes, 3 different times someone tried to gain access into our room. I want to request a refund.

Hotel is very rundown. Drove 4 hours late in evening and staff at check in was not friendly or welcoming. Water pressure in shower was a slow drip. Called to ask if anything could be done and was provided a no. Lots of very unsavory people staying in this hotel. Was walking in from parking garage and people doing drugs. Will not stay here again. Not a family environment.

This is our second time staying at Historic SM. We loved the history and the character of this hotel. As expected, it’s old. The rooms are spacious and the convenience of a bar and restaurant in the premises is a plus. We use the hot tub and the pool. The hot tub was very strong and hot, but had a strong chemical smell that made us leave sooner. The pool was perfect. We’ll come back!

Although old, the hotel is clean and room was very spacious. The 2 full beds room had two sinks which was nice, though only one thin bar of soap, so I guess only one is good for washing your hands. Amenities were basic, but sufficient.
Fitness room had broken cable machine, some dumbbells, and a couple of cardio machines. Also very basic. Laundry room was available which is a nice plus for travelers, though I didn’t use it.
My room was on the 3rd floor facing the street and road noise was prevalent from the occasional motorcycles or loud cars.

If you want to stay here for the historic ambiance, you might like it. If you want the modern amenities you will probably be disappointed. There was wifi but no USB ports. No hair dryer in the room. Everything was just a little tired and worn out.
I was really put off when I received an email from the property before our arrival telling me the property often had loud events on the weekends and I might want to change my reservation to a weekday. I thought that was a strange bit of correspondence.
The bed was comfortable, my sleep was good, but I will choose a more updated place for our next visit.

The Santa Maria Inn boasts a rich history, having been established in 1917. It combines old-fashioned charm with modern amenities. The pool area is well-maintained, and the hot tub features excellent jets, making it perfect for relaxation after a long day. Inside, you'll find beautiful stained glass windows and intriguing artwork. My favorite part of the hotel was the restaurant, the Century Room. The service was exceptional, and the food was amazing!

Understand the property is a historical site built in 1917, however the property is great need of TCL. Upon entering you get an awful musty smell and the same smell throughout the entire property. I stayed in room 136 which was awful, dirty and scoffed doors and walls. Cracked window in the bathroom. The bed frame is on rollers, very uncomfortable mattress and the worst b pillows ever. I would definitely, absolutely not recommend this place.

Stayed for a night, family of 5, got two queen beds. Spacious rooms, windows open to swimming pool on 4th floor. Lot of history as you go around the various spaces (particularly on the ground floor). Cellar for wines, barber shop, gym, dining and restaurant. The chairs pianos at couple places and the fireplaces will reflect on the grandeur and history. The wooden interior is stunning.
Courteous staff and clean rooms for the prize, highly recommended if you are in that area.

Todo me pareció muy bien y bonito. Lo único que no me gustó fueron las bases de las camas ya que no estaban muy firmes y se movían por las ruedas chiquitas que tenían. Pero fuera de eso, sería un placer volverme a hospedar en ese hotel. (La 5 estrella se fue rondando con la cama). Quedé muy satisfecha y lo recomiendo mucho. También quiero decir que nos permitieron dormir muy bien porque nos dejaron quedarnos hasta a las 12. Y con la cama y todo, definitivamente me vuelvo a hospedar incluso si me voy con la cama.

This hotel has a very colorful history, do you believe in ghosts? I never did until I woke up in a closet there in the 80s after either sleep walking or dancing with a very pretty one. Love the inn, have spent many nights there through the years.

Overall positive—easy checking in and out, great staff, excellent dining room, quiet, safe, easy parking next to hotel. Easy access to highway, but not next to freeway, allowing the area to be quiet. Only negative was room needed updating, pretty dated. I would stay there again as I noticed other floors were being renovated.
