Historic Santa Maria Inn

10/10 Excellent
"The property was very well kept and clean but what really stood out was the decor in the lobby areas that harken back to the glory days of years ago. This gave the hotel a unique charm. The room was also spacious and very comfortable. And I got it for a really good rate. I was very impressed with the entire experience."
