Would not recommend, and frankly I’m not sure how this hotel passes inspections. Felt unsafe and didn’t even spend 5 mins in the room to know that my family was not going to stay. Photos are deceiving!

This place is a complete dump. DO NOT STAY HERE!! Walking in the room several big holes in the walls that have been freshly patched not even painted, smelled horrible and in plain view a nasty long hair on the bed was the final mark to get us out.. we did not stay and they would not approve my refund trough Expedia.

Excellent! The owners are very nice to there guest. The rooms are clean and come with a microwave which is rare in these days. I would stay again when I come back to Santa Maria. It is a very quite hotel in a great location next to the store and a few great restaurants in the area. Thank you for having such a great hotel.

Simple budget motel

A quick last minute booking for a quick sleep and shower. Easy check in at 11 pm. Simple bed, bathroom, fridge, microwave and soap only. No shampoo. Bed was ok but pillow was hard as rock. Location was ok. My truck was full of camping stuff in the back and it was still there in the morning so that was a plus.

This is an okay basic motel, nothing fancy. I do exercises on the floor, but could not do them here because the floors are hard tile, no carpet. I prefer carpet.
