    The beach was great.

    The beach was great. We came in January, next time we will try in spring or summer. They're was so much to do, I wish we could have stayed longer. Make sure to check out Old West Cinnamon rolls, and grab a chowder bowl at Wooli's

    We usually go to Santa Maria/Orcutt about every 2 months to visit my sister & brother-in-law. We don't do alot of tourist-y things, but have been introduced to several really great places to eat (The Hitching Post in Casmalia for dinner, Kay's, or Jack's for great breakfast and/or lunch, to name a few) , and some super nice people who live and work there. Santa Maria/Orcutt is close to alot of popular beaches, so it's a great home base for a beach day (or two). We love to stay at The Wine Stone Inn in Orcutt for a relaxing and fun get away.

    Parts of town can be deceiving as in you can't judge a book by it's cover. Good food, good shopping, great access to the beaches and great wineries abound in the area. We made it to the airshow which was a plus. All in all, we would return.

    We were travelling up from LA to Monterey so tried to stop halfway. We actually kept driving back to Santa Barbara as it was more scenic. Pismo isn’t too far but wasn’t the greatest weather. Uber is good for food but cannot get an Uber taxi no matter how hard you try. Plenty of choice for food - loved ihop for breakfasts and Applebys is a must for dinner.

    We enjoyed our trip very much.

    We enjoyed our trip very much. Santa Maria Friday nights was a fun outside market just up from our hotel. Loved the flavors and live music. We were happy to be close to the coast also. We made a day trip to Pismo stopping by the Luffa farm. Also close for a day trip to Foxen wine trail and old town Orcutt area to explore. Santa Maria was very clean city and walkable plus many trail heads near by.

    We found the accommodation easily and parked outside with no difficulty. The receptionist was very friendly and checked us in quickly and efficiently. Our room was clean and comfortable. Outside was a small but very pleasant swimming pool with sun beds and tables and chairs. There were eating places along the main road beside the accommodation so finding a nice restaurant for dinner was not hard. In fact the receptionist recommended some eateries which helped us with our choices.

    This room was better then I expected. We were taking a road trip through California and this hotel happened to be on our way up the state. After hours of driving we landed here and we had the best stay. Room was very clean and cozy, the breakfast was great and the staff was very friendly. This location exceeded my expectations. This was actually the best place we stayed in our 8 day road trip. We paid alot more for our other rooms compared to this one.

    The staff at the hotel were very friendly and efficient and gave us good local information on where to eat and shop. The ‘mini suite’ was big with 2 rooms & bathroom. This is an older motel with private parking which I assume is a bonus in this area. The property could do with some modernizing/updating but having said that ‘bang for the buck’ it was perfect for a stop over en route north .. a very reasonable stay with the staff doing their best.

    We stayed at this hotel just one night during our California round trip. The room was small but clean, the bathroom was nice too. Breakfast (included) was as expected for a Marriott hotel: paper plates, plastic cutlery - not good for our planet (!) -, some warm items (scrambled eggs, sausages, outmeal), drinks (coffee, juices), wafles and bagles. We had to bring our own bread to make toast. So overall, this hotel is OK for a one night stay.

    The hotel is gem in the middle of nowhere. The rooms are exceptional, with everything that you could want. The pillows on the bed are probably the best I have ever slept on. I need to know where they purchased them. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The hotel has a great happy hour and they serve a nice continental breakfast to your room. If you are wine tasting in the area, it is the place to stay.

    We found this hotel with a visible touch of Mexican atmosphere, which was great. Delicious breakfast a la carte. Very nice staff everywhere, especially in the breakfast and dining area. We were very happy in a room with view on a regional airport nearby.

    We had to change rooms because of black slim in the bathtub. The front desk staff were exceptionally kind and helped us change rooms. The hotel is dated and needs repairs. The only reason I didn’t rate it worse is the kindness of the staff

    The room was very clean and spacious. The check in was easy and the grounds around the hotel are beautiful and well kept. It's in walking distance to shops and restaurants. Try Casa Manana if you love Mexican food. Absolutely delicious!

    Location was ok if you were travelling for business. But if you are holidaying, avoid Santa Maria. Rooms were a good size and beds were comfortable. Soulless place though. No cafe/bar or anything just an apartment building.

    Price was reasonable. Next to a lot of fast food places for a quick bite to eat. Bed was soft enough to sleep well. Not too far from the Santa Maria drive in and about 20-30 minutes from the main beaches.
