Travelodge by Wyndham Santa Maria, hotel in Santa Maria

This Santa Maria hotel is located in Central California Wine Country. The hotel features an outdoor heated pool and each room provides free Wi-Fi and expanded cable TV.

This property exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend stopping here. I chose it based on price and reviews, both of which were very favourable, and I’m pleased to say it was very clean, quiet and the staff respectful and welcoming. My room was extremely comfortable and quiet which surprised me as the property was on what I assumed is a busy road, but I didn’t hear a thing. Air conditioning worked great. Bathroom spotless and great water pressure. The bed was super comfy and I slept really well. I think breakfast was offered but I needed to leave so didn’t try it, but the coffee machine in my room did the job. The grounds were clean and well maintained, and the pool look amazing. I would definitely stay here again if I find myself in the area.

    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.

    The rooms were beautiful and very clean. It was quiet and we would recommend anyone to book a room here. We only stayed one night but if a longer stay we would of tried their breakfast. The clerks at the desk were very polite and friendly. They immediately informed us if we needed anything they would assist us. Great job. We also took a tour of the hotel and noticed a family having a great time at the pool. Something for anyone to look forward to if they desire. We left with a smile on our faces. Thanks for the restful time.

    Was very impressed with the staff...friendly, courteous. The room appeared to have just been cleaned . The bed was comfortable. This is probably perfect for someone who is traveling for business as it is very close to Santa Maria Airport. It was very, very quiet and is about 20 minutes away from the main city. Our schedule did not permit us to try any of the meals that are offered at the hotel for reasonable prices, nor the Vintner's Grill, but those are available

    Historic Inn, filled with quaint pre decade deco. The log fires had now turned to gas flame for what ever reason, fires with logs with a red flickering light would have made the fireplaces more authentic. Gym reasonably equipped, sauna never used, hot tub as it days on the tin? Pool chilly but could be down to cold winds. Hotel with staff who suggest places to eat along will in house restaurant and knowledge about the area. This Inn needs a patience to explore.

    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.

    Room was ready and clean on arrival. We booked 2 rooms and they were happily next door to each other. Pillows were great, shower was hot and water was plentiful. Nice amenities in bathroom and coffee station. Quiet and close to shops and restaurants. The concierge that checked us in was so sweet and welcoming. We enjoyed our overnight stay and would stay there next time if we visit Santa Maria again. Breakfast included! Thank you!

    Only stayed for a night. The hotel looked nice from the road and the garden looked pretty too. The weather was cold so there was no chance to use the pool. The room was a bit dated, but liked the new tiles in the bathroom. Really liked that the room had big containers of good quality soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. This saves lots of plastics waste.

    breakfast was a joke. I've had "free" breakfasts at many different hotels - this was the worst! Orange juice and muffins was all that was offered, no cereal, toast, hard boiled eggs, oranges, apples were offered. Most places have waffle irons or toasters for bagels or toast.

    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.
