Staff is good during the day. The fire alarm went off at 1 am and woke up all the guests on the property. The front desk was probably sleeping at that time He was pretty rude when we called. Eventually, the fire truck came and silenced the alarm. Santa Maria does not feel touristy. I didn’t feel super safe at night

I had booked a king size bed. When they checked in, they checked me into two double beds.. when I went back up front they said they were out of king-size beds. And then I stood there with an unhappy face and they said hang on a minute, and they upgraded me to a suite.. so I was pretty pleased. They made things right. I will definitely stay here again.. Thank you

As I pulled on to the property I witnessed a few different groups of men that appeared to me to be up to no good. I didn’t feel comfortable staying there so I went down the street to another hotel that I had stayed at before.
