Great place to stay
Great place to stay. My only suggestions would be to have plug ins for phones etc., near the bedside tables and to be sure the curtains will close at night time. Otherwise, great staff, great bar, great price and location.

A good find
It was a comfortable stay in convenient downtown location. Not too far off the 101. Built in 1917, it shows a historical grace but some aging.

Very nice stay
I enjoyed the features of the olden style and how they kept it up. I wish they had told us history about the ghosts though. Other than that it was really nice and quiet. There is also a pool to enjoy we didn’t get the chance to use it but it is there. The additional parking garage in the back was awesome!

My stay was great! Liked my hotel room. Had dinner at the restaurant and enjoyed it!! 2 things I didn’t like - The elevator and the room between the front desk and the restaurant smell horrible!! Other that that I would stay at the hotel again and tell my friends to stay there too when they’re in Santa Maria!
