The Wine Cellar - Santa Maria

A great hotel. Clean. Well priced. Free internet. The showers are not great. The water pressure is weak. Rather annoying.

The outside looked nice, but inside was very run down. In need of lots of repairs for the walls, carpet, baseboards. A picture outside the elevator had cracked glass. The bathrooms look like what you'd get with an older motel. Visible hairs left behind and splatters on several doors from something (cleaning supplies hopefully). The room itself was ok. The ac unit was cracked and very loud. The hallway had a strong odor. Could hear conversations from the parking lot in the room, as well as a dog barking in a nearby room. Definitely spend your money elsewhere.

Dirty. Disgusting. Basically the two words to describe this awful hotel. The room was called “Bob Hope”. More like no hope! Absolutely filthy. Completely grubby room. Dusty. What looked like a blood splatter above the bed. Fingernail marks in the headboard. Mould in the bathroom. And an absolute stench in the closet. Requested another room and the reception staff clearly surprised when we said it was unfit to be stayed in. New room had toenails in the bed and a hole in the bathroom ceiling. Promptly left at 6am!

I have stayed in both the original older rooms and most recently in the newer section. The room was clean but clearly dated. I was given a corner room with exceptional light; however, since I was on a business trip it was not something I could enjoy. downside was a distinct odor of marijuana on my arrival at 9:30 PM. It was still present when I returned at 11:00 to check out. Strange. Also, there are no restaurant services available though you can get unlimited coffee packets for the room. I would recommend adding microwaves in addition to the small refrigerator. Also, a remote thermostat separate from the through-wall unit would be more responsive to temperature. All in all, though, a great value; I paid $110 including tax, midweek, one day.

I went there with two (2 others on a golf outing. At check-in, they sent my 1st friend in one direction, and when I checked in, they sent me in the opposite direction to find our rooms. Didn 't think much of it at the time. Then, the 3rd person checked in and he too was sent in the opposite direction from me (same direction as the 1st person . Still no alarms. When I tried to go to my room, couldn 't even get there because the fire doors where locked. It was then I discovered that my wing I was the Historic (old! section. When I went back to tell them, I said can you change my room to be near my friends? NOPE because I booked through a 3rd party! Which, BTW, I did not...but didn 't realize it until one of my friends showed me his booking which was through the same website (their 's! . And, at the same price!
