Robby DooJanuary 14, 2019The price is right, the decor and history is great. Great venue for having small to medium events, and even weddings.
Allegra SmithNovember 28, 2014The buffet on Thanksgiving was deadly good. Crab legs, mussels, clams, caviar, turkey with all the fixins, creme brûlée and chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. 😍
Chris FMay 21, 2023A great hotel. Clean. Well priced. Free internet. The showers are not great. The water pressure is weak. Rather annoying.
Joseph TinnerSeptember 8, 2014Order the Santa Maria mix grill. Delicious beef, chicken and sausage with veggies and jalapeño potatoes.

Frederique NagtegaalJune 27, 2013Trying to get food was drama. It took 45 minutes for our order to be ready. They fixed it by giving it to us for free though.

"Inside the Santa Maria Inn, you can find the restaurant. The ambience is like in an old English mansion. The service team is quick and very friendly. They're also very flexible to special needs. 5*!"
