Cristina, Santa Maria

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Easy and quick check-in with amenities explained. Clean room with slightly dated bathroom. Bar soap for sink and hanging refillable body wash, shampoo and conditioner in the bath/shower combo (smells like coco butter). External facing rooms, pool in separate building, main lobby and breakfast in first building. Enough parking but not ideal for semi trucks, motorhomes or moving trucks. Near fast food and sit down diner. Just off highway 101, east to access. Appears to possibly have vagrant population, typical of Humboldt County.

We were pleasantly surprised at how nice it was as it was an older hotel. The pool was warm, the front desk area was really well decorated, as was the eating area for breakfast. The breakfast had a lot of options and was yummy. The rooms were very clean, the beds were cosy and the bathtub was spotless. Nice quiet relaxing hotel with large rooms.

Always stay here when we are up north

Always consistent. Clean, comfortable, and dog friendly. The new locking system is easy to use. Breakfast was WONDERFUL - such choices and nicely presented. We keep coming back here whenever we head north.
