Rooms were nice. Only 1 elevator though and it's slooooow
I stood here last Sat. Night easy access off freeway. Immediately greeted pleasantly by Dee. She is cordial and efficient. We got a room on third floor. Granite counters, stainless steel appliances, stocked pots, pans, and dishes. Very clean and quiet. Dee called us to check if everything was fine with our room to our liking. I forgot my phone charger at home and they lend me one from front desk until Sunday morning. Great team here and would definitely stay again!
I stayed here one night. The room was nice. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The cabinets were well stocked with dishes. They had an area by the front desk where you could borrow kitchen appliances like a a slow cooker. The staff were nice during check in. I would stay here for a longer stay in the future.
Good value for the price. The rooms were clean, and the front desk staff was helpful. However, the mattress and linens felt low quality. If comfort is important to you, you may want to consider the more expensive hotels nearby.
Clean rooms, nice staff, & comfy beds (as of Aug 2022). Water pressure is good, they have free parking and small kitchens. They also allow pets. The only issue was noise (as others have pointed out), it is so close to a major road. I slept with ear plugs to not be awakened by sirens, motorcycles, semi, etc. I will absolutely stay here again...great price for all the things I look for in a hotel.
This kind of hotel with a little kitchenette in the room always feels like a home away from home. We used the pot to boil some instant noodles and nothing is more satisfying than the instant noodles in a hotel on a trip :)
Pretty good overall no breakfast side doors don't work
Hands down the very best hotel for the price I have ever been to. From the spacious rooms to the countless amenities and staff friendliness. My only hesitation in posting this review is that so many people will find out and the next time I come it will be booked to hilt. You nailed it Candlewood as the benchmark for what travelers need in a hotel
A 13-minute walk from Boomers! Santa Maria amusement park, this modest, all-suite hotel in the Central Coast wine country is also 2.4 miles from Santa Maria Valley Discovery Museum.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
