Only if you are a history buff.
Only stay if you want to be there for the fact that it’s really old and interesting. It is not a nice hotel it’s an ornate hotel.

Historic Hotel with ghost's
We've been coming to this property for over 25 years we love coming here every 2 to 3 times a year it's one of our main properties we stay at on our way to Wine Country if you're really into history and a unique experience I would highly recommend this hotel just be aware that it is older and it's not very modern but if you really appreciate history and antique Style decor and don't mind the rumors of having it being haunted you will love this place

Bringing in 2025 at The Santa Maria Inn
This trip was not planned. We deceied to get away for a couple of days. San Luis Obispo was our original destination. However, when looking for places to stay, The Santa Maria Inn popped up. We loved the reveiws and booked. Homey warm feeling, great friendly patient staff. We will definitely visit again.

Wonderful staff!
I've stayed here many many times and each time is just as fantastic if not more than the last. Jimmy went above and beyond to accommodate my needs and we had a great stay thanks to him and the great staff.
