Great central location in Santa Maria. The room was clean & comfortable. It’s an older hotel with older room amenities, such as the walk in shower in our room was awkwardly designed, so was challenging to take a normal shower. Bathroom very small with limited space. Old school wall AC water cooler worked fine, but very loud. Our windows looked out to a patio where other guest could walk by, so had to keep shades closed for privacy.
