Staff was so friendly and helpful! We booked last minute not even knowing any information but fell in love! We will definitely be back with more time as we were just driving from San Diego back home to Oregon. My daughter enjoyed a fresh swim right in the morning. We explored a little bit and felt very welcomed and taken care of.!

The Santa Maria Historical Inn is beautifully maintained and a lovely retreat to enjoy, our room was on the 1st floor and we enjoyed the view of the patio and lovely garden area with a water fall. The antique room was cozy and comfortable. There are many areas to enjoy sitting in a quiet atmosphere. Staff is friendly and helpful, we will definitely come back another time!
