"We chose the Santa Maria Inn because we had done the same event here twice before. Both were very good, but this one was the best! The Inn is much improved inside and out. The management and staff are the best. Capable, friendly, responsive, really good at their jobs. We would recommend Santa Maria Inn to anyone. Many, many thanks to everyone on the staff."

- Jane McClenahan, Rotary International District 5240

"I would like to congratulate you on the great staff that you have working at the Santa Maria Inn. Our recent reunion was one of the best we've ever had in 15 years. The banquet on our last night was fabulous, and Nicole Garcia kept her crew moving and without a problem. The rooms were great, the price was right and when I meet with other reunion coordinators this winter I will certainly recommend the Santa Maria Inn as a place to check into if they plan to meet in California for their next reunion."

- Robbie Roberts, Reunion Coordinator, Orphans of the Pacific

"After holding our wedding reception in the Garden Room Restaurant at the Santa Maria Inn, I can certainly see why you are so successful in the hospitality business. Corey and I both thank you for taking such perfect, professional care of us and all our guests. From the wine tasting to getting the wrinkles out my gown to the lovely room set-up and keeping watch throughout the reception, your vigilance and generosity kept the party flowing smoothly and made us feel awfully special. I can't tell you how completely helpful it was to have you manage those important personal details. Because we could trust you to keep abreast of the changes and challenges, we were freed up to pay attention to the promises we were making to each other, to relax and have fun at our party and to reconnect with family and friends. We can't thank you enough for your hard, careful work during our wedding weekend. We simply could not have had the same experience without your expertise."

- Christina Shouse Tourino

- Mildred and William Daniel

"My husband and I wanted to express to you the wonderful service we experienced. The accommodations, fine food and most of all the excellent service from all the employees we encountered. One employee went above and beyond to assist us. In a society that renders mediocre service as the norm, it was our pleasure to have experience such quality service from you staff. "

- Mr. & Mrs. Solway, San Diego, CA

"Our stay at the Santa Maria Inn was absolutely wonderful. This was the second time I have stayed at your wonderful Inn. Both times in the historic original inn. I can't imagine wanting to stay in the newer section. My sister was on the second floor in the Kim Novak room and I was in the Jean Harlow room. The service was excellent. The maids did a great job and were polite as you walked by them in the hall. The food in the restaurant was excellent. The serving staff was wonderful and accommodated our needs for our mothers 90th birthday lunch. The front desk was very kind in finding another room for my sister when she requested an inside room instead of the one on the street level. "

- Jeri Sansum, Sedona, AZ

"We were quite delighted with the services, our room and the amenities of your inn. The rooms were spacious, the restaurant's menu selections sounded all very scrumptuous and the service at the restaurant was very accommodating. All that made our stay most enjoyable. We'd like to do it again... and explore the area around Santa Maria soon."

- Chary N. Diaz

"We've been coming to brunch Sundays for some time, 5 years at least, but this is the best staff. We've always loved the chef and piano player, but Mark has really been great; always helpful and kind, ready to serve! Thanks so much for a classic touch in our great city!"

- Warren and Joy Hall

"This was a great experience from start to finish. Mary Beth was awesome and took care of every detail with care and kindness. The young man who helped set up was great also. I am still hearing great things about that night."
