Travelodge by Wyndham Santa Maria

We asked for and received a quiet room. Carlos recommended a restaurant which was doing a booming business, and we had takeout. And, the best part, when I discovered I had left my Kindle in Santa Maria almost two weeks after our visit, I called and did not expect to learn they had my electronic reader (filed by date and room) and they insisted on sending it back to me at no cost (except for postage/shipping, of course.) I wanted to leave a "reward" but they insisted this was not something I should do. How nice to find such a kind man as Carlos at the front desk who sent back my Kindle which had been a Christmas gift. I will always remember him and Travelodge, Santa Maria, for this service.

It's close to everything that you need. The staff was great and very accommodating. The room was huge, with comfortable beds. There was a microwave, fridge, and coffee pot.

Staff was friendly. Everything was spotless clean. Hot tub and heated pool were amazing. They have a grill there to use. If you don't want to cook or go out there's an amazing taco truck parked right out front. It's within walking distance to shopping centers. The room was huge and a very comfortable bed. They have a great breakfast. The office has a little "convenience" shop that you could purchase various snacks and drinks. I will stay here from now on when I'm in Santa Maria.

Almost immediately we noticed a family vibe in regard to other visitors, in no way felt like it was a "party hotel" instead rather welcoming. Centrally located and convenient, with a no hassle reservation, check in, and check out process. We thought the property seemed "fine" but nothing special and we didn't expect much from the look of the exterior. But, when we got to our room we really were impressed. It was very clean with complete and seemingly recent updates and we noted the tucked away fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. We thought the beds were comfortable and we loved that there was a window in the bathroom (2nd floor) so we could keep an eye on our vehicle parked below, just outside (unnecessary as we had zero safety issues).

I like that the beds are actually clean! Beds are comfortable. The housekeepers actually clean very well. The housekeepers are nice. Taco truck in parking lot at night the last time we stayed and it was very authentic. Yummy. Pool is heated.
