10/10 Excellent
"Access to beach, walkable to downtown along the beach, great view, good amenities, many fire pits, reasonably priced. Has a EV charger, not fast speed, but it’s there. A great stop along Hwy 1 between LA and SF! The AC didn’t quite work, I think they are trying to preserve energy. So you have to open the windows. The air is crisp at night so it’s good. But if you are on the ground floor, you may not want to open the window/patio door for safety concerns as it’s accessible by everyone. It will not be a problem for the 2nd floor."

"The suite was nice and cozy, but using usb-chargers was impossible. They didn't work. Our windows were to the street, so it was noizy if I wanted to get some fresh air at night time. Overall, it was good. Well equipped kitchen, so there's a possibility to bring something and cook/hear in the suite. Well working refrigerator. For us, it's a good option to stay in Santa Maria."
