I recently stayed at Hotel Santa Maria, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. The room felt extremely old and poorly maintained, with a strong unpleasant smell as soon as I walked in. The pillows were uncomfortable, making it difficult to rest properly. On top of that, the water pressure in the shower was very weak, which made even basic things inconvenient. The worst part was the air conditioning unit — it was incredibly loud throughout the night. The constant noise made it almost impossible to sleep, which completely ruined my stay. Overall, I was very dissatisfied and would not recommend this hotel based on my experience.

Room was old and dirty, not as pictured. Small bathroom had no counters to put your stuff. Sink was falling off pedestal, bathtub fixtures were old and dirty, low water pressure. Walls and floors were dirty. Pillows were a joke, look like sofa pillow cushions. Outdated lamp, no usb ports. Hallways had a bad odor too. We were given room on first floor all the way in the back, away from main hotel. Stayed in nicer motel rooms than this one. Will not stay here again.

We stayed here a month ago and looked forward to our return. However this time we had to get up at 3am to fly a 12 hour flight in a smaller aircraft. Our room was under a room being renovated and the work went on till 9pm. Then the motorcycle running under our window at 1 am. So it was a bad night.
