Santa Maria hotel rooms a the Independent

"the best hotel "

"Great pool area "

"Pool was clean, staff was very friendly and professional "

"The place is conveniently located in relation to the places we intended to visit. It is clean and well-maintained. There no establishments around but the hotel has an in-house restaurant and breakfast is included. Take note that there are no elevators so request for a first floor room if you have mobility issues. The wifi is strong, check-in was a breeze except when I reminded the front desk of our pets. I requested a pet-friendly room via Expedia, but didn’t receive acknowledgement from the hotel. During check-in, the staff told me there is a pet fee. The hotel’s Expedia page explicitly states “Pets stay free,” and I proceeded to show them their own listing. The issue didn’t go any further, but I’d like the hotel to update their page if it is indeed their policy to have a pet fee."

"The staff are very kind and very accommodating.. "

"Great location/amenities "
