The Central Coast town is also well-known for its food culture, Sunset Magazine even named Santa Maria BBQ one of the "Top 100 Culinary Voyages in the West."

The peaceful surroundings of tall palm trees and antique fountains are enough to provide guests with a tranquil experience. However, the hotel also offers a fragrant rose garden, a sparkling outdoor pool, and hot tub, as well as a fitness center. California cuisine is offered to guest in the romantic ambiance of The Century Room, and wine samples can be found at the Wine Cellar and Martini Bar.

The charming Santa Maria Inn offers 164 boutique guestrooms, including 18 luxury suites, some featuring fireplaces.

Michael, Nov 2018
Pros (+) Price was reasonable.
Cons (-) Old facility. Not really renovated. Our first room was right above the conference room, where they were playing audio very loud. It was decent room, but old a bit musty smelling. After a couple of complaints they moved us to another room that was older and mustier. Cracks in the sinks. Bad paint. Small. We won't return
