Don't take room facing Broadway

First, you need to understand that Santa Maria is filled with immature "adults" with loud cars and loud mufflers for which there seems to be no enforcement. These autos run up and down Broadway and probably other streets showing off their noise-making features until 3 to 4 AM. If your room is facing Broadway, sleeping will be difficult if not impossible. The racket starts up again around 7 AM because these people go to work early. If you stay at SM Inn, insist on a room facing the back of the building, and you may be fine. Otherwise, stay at a place away from the main streets if you want some sleep.

A shadow of its former self

I so wanted to LOVE staying here. This history, the mystery is just so charming. I was put in the Jimmy Stewart room in the old wing for my first shorter visit which was fun in concept but the room was major, meh. Kind of dingy and worn out. The second time I stayed in the tower room, "the newer side." It SCREAMS 80's. The room, a "suite" was large on a higher floor with a huge corner window but otherwise, again, the room was worn and dingy. For some reason there was no sheer on the window, just the blackouts which meant I was sitting in the dark or blasted by sunlight. And sadly, what was once a property surrounded by the beautiful valley is now on a very busy street. It was loud. The bathroom door basically opened into the toilet. The shower curtain was falling off, the towels were thin. I ended up leaving a day early. I love the bar and will be back for brunch, but IDT I will ever stay here again. I so wanted to love it, but it needs a major facelift and I don't see that happening. The team on the ground was good. Bar staff great. Worth a drink and a meal but don't recommend staying.

Stayed at this hotel just before the Thanksgiving holiday. The toilet did not flush properly, so they had to move us to a new room. After that the rest of the hotel stay was great.
