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!
