Holiday Inn & Suites Santa Maria, an IHG Hotel
4.1/5116 Reviews
The hotel has a good location, good service, and clean rooms. It is a few hundred meters away from Vallarta Supermarkets. The price is much cheaper than Monterey. Those who go from San Francisco to Los Angeles and take Highway 1 to Monterey choose this place with high cost performance.
Travelodge by Wyndham Santa Maria
3.7/598 Reviews
Arrived in the evening, the town is very quiet, quiet to terrible, hahahaha. Highway 1 must pass through the town, and wifi can only receive signals from the lobby. Free parking
Candlewood Suites Santa Maria
4.2/580 Reviews
This hotel is a bit like an apartment room. The point is that the kitchen facilities are too complete, which makes me a little surprised. If you want to play on California Route 1, friends who think Solvang Danish Town or Santa Barbara Hotel are expensive may wish to try .
Best Western Plus Big America

The hotel is very good, there is a Starbucks supermarket around, things are very cheap.
Hampton Inn & Suites Santa Maria
4.5/5106 Reviews
Love this hotel it's staff members are delightful and friendly, the rooms are immaculately clean, and very modern. I especially like that the tv included netflix and youtube built in. Another great bonus is silence. You cannot hear people in the other rooms. Definitely worth the price when in comparison to other places here in Santa Maria.
Motel 6 Santa Maria, CA - North
3.5/5103 Reviews
The staff was very friendly and always smiling. Unfortunately there was no towels when I got to my room. I was tired and upset but the front desk was still extremely nice and apologetic and corrected the issue. Room was your basic Motel 6. Clean but nothing exciting. No shampoo no breakfast.
